गोशकृन्माहात्म्य-प्रश्नः (On the Merit of Cow-Dung and the Abode of Śrī) / Inquiry into the Sanctity of Cow-Dung
Devanagari script
गावो यज्ञस्य हि फल गोषु यज्ञा: प्रतिष्ठिता: । गावो भविष्यं भूतं च गोषु यज्ञा: प्रतिष्ठिता:
Transliteration
gāvo yajñasya hi phalaṁ goṣu yajñāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ | gāvo bhaviṣyaṁ bhūtaṁ ca goṣu yajñāḥ pratiṣṭhitāḥ ||
Translation
Bhishma nói: «Bò chính là kẻ ban quả báo của tế lễ; nơi bò, các tế lễ được đặt nền vững chắc. Bò hàm chứa cả quá khứ lẫn tương lai; nơi bò, các tế lễ được thiết lập—nghĩa là hiệu lực và sự tiếp nối của yajña rốt cuộc đều nương vào bò.»
