Sanskrit Text

वेदव्रती स्याद्वृषभप्रदाता; वेदावाप्तिर्गोयुगस्य प्रदाने तीर्थावाप्तिर्गोप्रयुक्तप्रदाने; पापोत्सर्गः कपिलायाः प्रदाने

English Translation

The merit that one acquires by making a gift of a bull is equal to that of the divine cow. By making a gift of a couple of kine one gains, as the reward thereof, a mastery of the Vedas. By making a gift of cars and vehicles with kine yoked thereto, one wins the merit of baths in sacred water. By making a gift of a cow of the Kapila kine, one becomes purged of all his sins.
