The Description of the Caturdaśī Vrata Observed throughout the Twelve Months
कपिलायास्तु गोमूत्रं कृष्णाया गोमयं तथा । श्वेतायाः क्षीरमुदितं रक्तायाश्च तथा दधि ॥ ५४ ॥
kapilāyāstu gomūtraṃ kṛṣṇāyā gomayaṃ tathā | śvetāyāḥ kṣīramuditaṃ raktāyāśca tathā dadhi || 54 ||
కపిలా గోవుకు గోమూత్రం, కృష్ణా గోవుకు గోమయం; శ్వేతా గోవుకు క్షీరం నిర్దేశించబడింది, అలాగే రక్తవర్ణ గోవుకు దధి (విధించబడింది)॥ ५४ ॥
