Arjuna’s advance; deaths of Śrutāyudha and Sudakṣiṇa
आलकभ्यन्त तदा गाव: सहसत्राण्येकविंशति: । संकृतिपुत्र रन्तिदेवके यहाँ जिस रातमें अतिथियोंका समुदाय निवास करता था, उस समय वहाँ इकक््कीस हजार गौएँ छूकर दान की जाती थीं
ālakabhyanta tadā gāvaḥ sahasrāṇy ekaviṃśatiḥ | saṅkṛtiputra-rantidevake yāṃ niśāyām atithīnāṃ samūho nivāsam akarot, tadā tatraikaviṃśati-sahasra-gāvo gṛhītvā dīyante sma |
ナーラダは言った。「その時、サンクリティの子ランティデーヴァの家では、客人の群れが宿を取った夜ごとに、二万一千頭の牛が手で触れられ（譲与のしるしとして）、ついで施しとして与えられた。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches atithi-dharma and dāna: honoring guests through generous giving, treating prosperity as a means to serve others rather than to hoard.
Nārada describes Rantideva’s extraordinary hospitality: whenever many guests stayed at his place, an immense number of cows—twenty-one thousand—were formally given away as gifts.
