Guḍadhenu
दशद्वादशसाहस्रा दश चाष्टौ च जन्मनि । न शोकदुःखदौर्गत्यं तस्य सञ्जायते क्वचित् ॥
daśa-dvādaśa-sāhasrā daśa cāṣṭau ca janmani | na śoka-duḥkha-daurgatyaṃ tasya sañjāyate kvacit ||
दस से बारह हज़ार साल तक कोई दुख नहीं आता। और दस से आठ जनम तक भी कोई चिंता नहीं होती। ग़म, तकलीफ़, बुरा वक्त, कुछ भी नहीं होता उस इंसान को।
