Adhyāya 138: Vāyu’s Exempla on Brāhmaṇa-Prabhāva and a Cosmological Clarification
महाप्रभावा वरदा वरं दद्युरुपासिता: । ता गावोअस्यानुमन्यन्ते सर्वकर्मसु यत् फलम्
mahāprabhāvā varadā varaṁ dadyur upāsitāḥ | tā gāvo ’syānumanyante sarvakarmasu yat phalam ||
Wika ni Maheśvara: “Ang mga baka ay may napakalaking kapangyarihang espirituwal at tagapagkaloob ng biyaya. Kapag sila’y iginagalang at pinaglilingkuran, ibinibigay nila ang ninanais na pagpapala. Sa lahat ng gawain, anumang bungang minimithi ng tao, ang mga bakang iyon ay pumapayag—nagkakaloob ng pabor upang maganap ang inaasam na bunga.”

Educational Q&A
Reverent service to cows (go-sevā/upāsanā) is presented as a dharmic act with strong spiritual efficacy: it brings divine approval and helps one’s righteous aims bear fruit, emphasizing gratitude, non-violence, and charitable care.
Maheshvara is explaining the extraordinary power attributed to cows: when honored and served, they ‘sanction’ a person’s endeavors and grant boons so that desired results in one’s actions are successfully attained.
