Chapter 84: Brahmā’s Counsel on Tāraka, the Search for Agni, and the Genesis of Skanda

Kārttikeya

दान्तः प्रीतमना नित्यं गवां व्युष्टिं तथाश्रुते । त्र्यहमुष्णं पिबेन्मूत्रं 5यहमुष्णं पिबेत्‌ पय:,जो मनुष्य जितेन्द्रिय और प्रसन्नचित्त होकर नित्य गौओंकी सेवा करता है, वह समृद्धिका भागी होता है। मनुष्य तीन दिनोंतक गरम गोमूत्र पीकर रहे, फिर तीन दिनतक गरम गोदुग्ध पीकर रहे

dāntaḥ prītamanā nityaṁ gavāṁ vyuṣṭiṁ tathāśrute | tryaham uṣṇaṁ piben mūtraṁ trayaham uṣṇaṁ pibet payaḥ ||

Disse Vyāsa: Aquele que se domina, sempre alegre no coração, que assiste regularmente ao gado e ouve com atenção as observâncias prescritas, torna-se partícipe da prosperidade. Como disciplina, deve beber urina de vaca morna por três dias e, em seguida, beber leite de vaca morno por três dias.

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.
