That man, however, who gives to a Brahmana a cow that cannot drink or eat, that has her milk dried up, that has weakened senses and that is diseased and overcome with decrepitude, and that may, therefore, be compared to a tank whose water has been dried upindeed, the man who gives such cow to a Brahmana and thereby inflicts only pain and disappointment upon him, has certainly to enter into dark Hell.
जरारोगोपसम्पन्नां जीर्णां वापीमिवाजलाम्। दत्त्वा तमः प्रविशति द्विजं क्लेशेन योजयेत्॥
