गोप्रदानगुणाः तथा कपिलागोविधानम्
Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows

na mitradhruḍ anaitṛtikaḥ kṛtaghnaḥ śaṭho 'nṛjur dharmavidveṣakaś ca | na brahmahā manasāpi prapaśyed gavāṁ lokaṁ puṇyakṛtāṁ nivāsam ||
ビーシュマは言った。友を裏切り、不正を行い、恩を忘れ、欺き、曲がりくねり、ダルマを憎む者――さらにはバラモン殺しでさえ――功徳を積んだ者の住処たる牛の世界(ゴーローカ)を、思いのうちにすら見ることはできない。
पितामह उवाच
Moral character determines spiritual destiny: treachery, ingratitude, deceit, hostility to dharma, and grave violence such as brahma-hatyā block access to exalted realms like Goloka, which are reserved for the meritorious.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction discourse (Anuśāsana Parva), he lists disqualifying vices and declares that a person burdened with such faults cannot attain or even envision Goloka, described as the abode of the virtuous.
