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 ||

వ్యాసుడు పలికెను— ఇంద్రియనిగ్రహముతో నిత్యము ప్రసన్నచిత్తుడై గోవులను సేవించుచు, విధివిధానములైన ఆచారములను శ్రద్ధతో వినుచున్నవాడు సంపదలో భాగస్వామి అవుతాడు. నియమాచరణగా మూడు దినములు వేడిగోమూత్రము త్రాగి, తదుపరి మూడు దినములు వేడిగోపాలను త్రాగవలెను.

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.
