Sanskrit Text

उत यज्ञा उतायज्ञा मखं नार्हन्ति ते क्वचित् आज्येन पयसा दध्ना पूर्णाहुत्या विशेषतः वालैः शृङ्गेण पादेन संभवत्येव गौर्मखम्

English Translation

Tuladhara said Sometimes sacrifices celebrated by some persons do not become sacrifices. These men, it should be said, do not deserve performing any sacrifice. Regarding the faithful, however, only one thing, viz., the cow, is fit for upholding all sacrifices by means of full libations of clarified butter, milk, and curds, the hair at end of her tail, her horns, and her hoofs.
