If one gives a thousand or a hundred or ten or five kine, indeed, if one gives to a pious Brahmana even a single cow which brings forth good calves at proper seasons, he is sure to see that cow approach him in Heaven in the form of a river of sacred water capable of granting the fruition of every desire.
