यो दद्यात्स्वर्णधेनुं च घृतधेनुं समाहितः । ब्रह्माण्डदानमपि वा तस्य पुण्यमनंतकम्
yo dadyātsvarṇadhenuṃ ca ghṛtadhenuṃ samāhitaḥ | brahmāṇḍadānamapi vā tasya puṇyamanaṃtakam
Aquele que, com a mente concentrada, oferece uma ‘vaca de ouro’ e uma ‘vaca de ghee’, ou mesmo realiza a dádiva chamada brahmāṇḍa-dāna, tem mérito sem fim.

Type: sangam
Scene: A pilgrim at Dvārakā’s sacred precinct offers a golden cow and a ghee-cow in ritual gifting, with priests receiving, the sea-breeze and temple banners in the background; a cosmic ‘brahmāṇḍa-dāna’ suggested by a miniature universe motif in the offering tray.
Great, symbolically rich forms of dāna, when offered with mental steadiness, generate inexhaustible spiritual merit.
Within Dvārakā Māhātmya; the immediate context centers on the Gomātī–ocean confluence.
Offering ritual gifts such as svarṇadhenu, ghṛtadhenu, and brahmāṇḍadāna with samāhita (collected) mind.
