Sanskrit Text

दत्त्वा धेनुं सुव्रतां साधुवत्सां; कल्याणवृत्तामपलायिनीं यावन्ति लोमानि भवन्ति तस्या;स्तावन्ति वर्षाणि वसत्यमुत्र

English Translation

By giving away a goodnatured cow, that quietly allows herself to be milked, that always brings forth living and healthy calves, and that does not fly away from the owner's house, the giver enjoys happiness in the next world for as many years as there are hairs on her body.
