yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
kasmātsamāne bahulāpradāne sadbhiḥ praśastaṃ kapilāpradānam |
viśeṣamicchāmi mahānubhāva śrotuṃ samartho hi bhavānpravaktum || 9 ||
"Yudhishthira said, 'Why, O grandsire, do the righteous applaud the gift of a Kapila cow (as more meritorious) when all good kine that are given away should be regarded as equal? O thou of great puissance, I wish to hear what the distinction is that attaches to a Kapila cow. Thou art, verily, competent to discourse to me on this topic!'
