Chapter 84: Brahmā’s Counsel on Tāraka, the Search for Agni, and the Genesis of Skanda
Kārttikeya
एवमेता महाभागा यज्ञिया: सर्वकामदा: । रोहिण्य इति जानीहि नैताभ्यो विद्यते परम्
evam etā mahābhāgā yajñiyāḥ sarvakāmadāḥ | rohiṇya iti jānīhi naitābhyo vidyate param ||
Wika ni Vyāsa: Kaya nga, ang mga bakang lubhang pinagpala ay mahalagang sangkap ng mga handog na yajña at tagapagkaloob ng bawat minimithi. Kilalanin sila bilang “Rohiṇī”; wala nang hihigit pa sa kanila.

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates cows as supremely valuable within dharma: they are portrayed as central to yajña and as beneficent givers of welfare. Ethically, it promotes reverence, protection, and generous support of such life-sustaining beings as a high religious duty.
Vyāsa is instructing the listener about the exceptional status of certain cows, naming them ‘Rohiṇīs’ and asserting their unsurpassed importance—especially in relation to sacrificial rites and the granting of desired goods.
