Shloka 6
गवां लोकवर्णनं तथा गोप्रदानफलश्रुतिः
Description of the ‘World of Cows’ and the Stated Fruits of Cow-Gift
तथैव गा: प्रशंसन्ति न तु देयं ततः परम् । संनिकृष्टफलास्ता हि लघ्वर्थाश्व युधिष्ठिर
tathaiva gāḥ praśaṃsanti na tu deyaṃ tataḥ param | saṃnikṛṣṭa-phalās tā hi laghv-arthāś ca yudhiṣṭhira ||
毗湿摩说道：“同样，施牛之德亦被称颂；再无高于此的布施。噢，尤提希提罗，牛所结之报在不久的将来便可得见，并且迅速促成所愿之事。”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that go-dāna (the gift of cows) is among the highest forms of charity, praised as supremely meritorious, and notable for producing tangible, timely benefits while also supporting dharmic living.
During Bhishma’s instruction to Yudhishthira on dharma and righteous conduct, he highlights the excellence of specific gifts, here emphasizing the preeminence and practical efficacy of donating cows.
