Chapter 84: Brahmā’s Counsel on Tāraka, the Search for Agni, and the Genesis of Skanda
Kārttikeya
दान्तः प्रीतमना नित्यं गवां व्युष्टिं तथाश्रुते । त्र्यहमुष्णं पिबेन्मूत्रं 5यहमुष्णं पिबेत् पय:
dāntaḥ prītamanā nityaṁ gavāṁ vyuṣṭiṁ tathāśrute | tryaham uṣṇaṁ piben mūtraṁ trayaham uṣṇaṁ pibet payaḥ ||
毗耶娑说:能自制、心常欢悦之人,恒常侍奉牛群,并专注聆听所规定的戒行,便能分得兴盛之福。作为一种修持,应当连饮三日温热的牛尿,继而再饮三日温热的牛乳。
व्यास उवाच
Prosperity is linked to disciplined conduct: self-control, a pleased and steady mind, respectful service to cattle, and adherence to prescribed purificatory observances.
Vyāsa is instructing on dharmic observances connected with tending cows and a brief regimen of warm cow-products (three days of warm cow’s urine followed by three days of warm milk) as a purificatory discipline.
