Shloka 6
गोप्रदानगुणाः तथा कपिलागोविधानम्
Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows
तथा नास्त्यशुभ॑ किंचिन्न व्याधिस्तत्र न कलम: । यद् यच्च गावो मनसा तस्मिन् वाउछन्ति वासव
tathā nāsty aśubhaṁ kiñcin na vyādhis tatra na kalamaḥ | yad yac ca gāvo manasā tasmin vāñchanti vāsava ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Gayundin, wala roong kahit katiting na di-mabuti; sa kahariang iyon ay walang sakit at walang dalamhati. O Vāsava (Indra), anumang naisin ng mga baka roon sa kanilang isipan, iyon mismo ang kanilang nakakamit—ito’y nasaksihan ko nang tuwiran. Pumupunta sila saanman nila ibig, kumikilos ayon sa nais, at sa isang pasya lamang ay nakakamit at natatamasa ang lahat ng kaluguran.”
