Kārttikeya
दान्तः प्रीतमना नित्यं गवां व्युष्टिं तथाश्रुते । त्र्यहमुष्णं पिबेन्मूत्रं 5यहमुष्णं पिबेत् पय:
dāntaḥ prītamanā nityaṁ gavāṁ vyuṣṭiṁ tathāśrute | tryaham uṣṇaṁ piben mūtraṁ trayaham uṣṇaṁ pibet payaḥ ||
Vyāsa berkata: Seseorang yang mampu mengendalikan diri, senantiasa berjiwa cerah, yang tekun melayani sapi dan mendengarkan dengan saksama tata laku yang ditetapkan, menjadi bagian dari kemakmuran. Sebagai laku disiplin, hendaknya ia meminum urin sapi yang hangat selama tiga hari, lalu meminum susu sapi yang hangat selama tiga hari.

Educational Q&A
Prosperity is linked to disciplined conduct: self-control, a pleased and steady mind, respectful service to cattle, and adherence to prescribed purificatory observances.
Vyāsa is instructing on dharmic observances connected with tending cows and a brief regimen of warm cow-products (three days of warm cow’s urine followed by three days of warm milk) as a purificatory discipline.
