गोप्रदानगुणाः तथा कपिलागोविधानम्
Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows
मनोज्ञं सर्वभूतेभ्य: सर्वतन्त्रं प्रदृश्यत । ईदृशाद् विपुलाल्लोकान्नास्ति लोकस्तथाविध:
manojñaṃ sarvabhūtebhyaḥ sarvatantraṃ pradṛśyata | īdṛśād vipulāl lokān nāsti lokas tathāvidhaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Ang Goloka ay kaaya-aya sa lahat ng nilalang. Doon nasasaksihan ang isang pangkalahatang kaayusan kung saan ang lahat ng bagay ay itinuturing na pag-aari ng lahat, at pantay ang karapatan ng bawat isa. Wala nang ibang daigdig na maihahambing sa lawak at kagalingan ng kahariang iyon.”
