Cows and Ghee as Supreme Purifiers
तथा क्षीरं क्षरन्त्येता रोहिण्यो5मृतसम्भवम् । प्रभो! आपके ऊपर अमृतका छींटा पड़ा है। गौओंका दूध बछड़ोंके पीनेसे जूठा नहीं होता। जैसे चन्द्रमा अमृतका संग्रह करके फिर उसे बरसा देता है

毗湿摩说道：“同样，这些罗希尼母牛所流之乳，乃由甘露而生。其乳并不因犊子饮啜而成不净；反如明月汇聚甘露之精华，继而洒落一般，这些母牛产出具有甘露本源之乳。”

The passage elevates the cow’s milk as intrinsically pure and sacred—likened to nectar—supporting the ethical ideal of honoring and protecting cows and treating their gifts as ritually and morally wholesome.
Bhīṣma is explaining the exceptional sanctity of certain cows (Rohiṇī), asserting that their milk remains pure even after calves drink it, and illustrating this purity through the analogy of the moon collecting and raining down nectarean essence.
