Shloka 7
गोप्रदानगुणाः तथा कपिलागोविधानम्
Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows
तत् सर्व प्राप्तुवन्ति सम मम प्रत्यक्षदर्शनात् । कामगा: कामचारिण्य: कामात् कामांश्व भुज्जते
tat sarvaṁ prāpnuvanti samaṁ mama pratyakṣa-darśanāt | kāmagāḥ kāmacāriṇyaḥ kāmāt kāmāṁś ca bhuñjate |
毗湿摩说道：“这一切它们皆同等获得——我以亲见为证。那些牛随欲而行，随欲而作；由欲本身便得所欲之乐而享受之。在那世界里连一丝不祥也没有；既无疾病，亦无悲忧。噢，因陀罗啊，它们心中所愿之物，尽皆自来——此乃我亲眼所见。”

Bhishma underscores the fruit of merit in a righteous realm: well-being is complete (no inauspiciousness, disease, or grief), and legitimate enjoyments arise effortlessly. The emphasis on his ‘direct witnessing’ frames the claim as authoritative testimony about the moral economy of dharma and its rewards.
Bhishma addresses Indra while describing a blessed world associated with cows: they can move freely, obtain whatever they wish, and enjoy it by mere intention. The passage functions as a vivid depiction of a merit-born realm and the extraordinary status accorded to cows.
