Dhritarashtra said He who, having a thousand kine, gives away a hundred kine every year, or having a hundred kine gives away ten every year to the best of his power, or possessing only ten or even five kine gives away therefrom one cow, and they who give a mature old age practising the vow of celibacy all their days, who obey the injunctions of the Vedas, and who, gifted with energy of mind, go to sacred waters and shrines, live happily in the region of kine.
