It has been said, O highly blessed one, that a region of eternal happiness exists in every hair of such kine as are purchased with the proceeds obtained by selling oneself. That man who having acquired kine by battle makes gifts of them, acquires as much merit as he who makes gifts of kine after having bought the same with the proceeds of selling oneself. That man who, in the absence of kine, makes a gift of a cow made of sesame seeds, controlling his senses the while, is saved by such a cow from every sort of calamity or distress. Such a man sports in great happiness.
