Varaha Purana

गन्धपुष्पैः समभ्यर्च्य विप्राय विनिवेदयेत्

Having worshipped it with fragrant flowers, one should offer it to a Brahmin.

साधुविप्राय राजेन्द्र श्रोत्रियायाहिताग्नये

O king, to a virtuous Brahmin, learned in the Vedas and maintaining the sacred fire.

यो ददाति नरो राजन् यः पश्यति शृणोति च

O king, whoever gives, sees, or hears of this,

ब्रह्महा पितृहा गोघ्नः सुरापो गुरुतल्पगः

—even a slayer of a Brahmin, a killer of parents, a destroyer of cows, a drinker of liquor, or one who approaches his teacher's wife—

विमुक्तः सर्वपापैस्तु विष्णुलोकं स गच्छति

is freed from all sins and attains the world of Vishnu.

जलधेनुं च यो दद्यात्सममेतन्नराधिप

O ruler of men, whoever gives a water-cow in its entirety,

ग्राहकोऽपि त्रिरात्रं वै तिष्ठेदेवं न संशयः

even the collector (of the gift) should remain for three nights—of this there is no doubt.

यत्र चाप्सरसां गीतं तत्र यान्ति जलप्रदाः

Wherever the Apsaras sing, there the givers of water-cows go.

सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तः विष्णुसायुज्यमाप्नुयुः 100.

Freed from all sins, they attain union with Vishnu.

सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तः स्वर्गमेति जितेन्द्रियः

Freed from all sins, one who has mastered his senses attains heaven.

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे श्वेतविनीताश्वोपाख्याने जलधेनुविधिर्नाम शततमोऽध्यायः

Thus, in the glorious Varaha Purana, in the story of Shvetavinitaashva, the one hundredth chapter named 'The Procedure for the Water-Cow' is concluded.

अथ रस धेनुदानमाहात्म्यम् रसधेनुविधानं ते कथयामि समासतः

Now, the greatness of the gift of the rasa-cow; I shall briefly tell you the procedure for the rasa-cow.

रसस्य तु घटं राजन् सम्पूर्णं त्वैक्षवस्य तु

O king, one should take a pot of rasa, and likewise one of sugarcane juice, both filled.

तुरीयांशेन वत्सं तु तत्पार्श्वे स्थापयेत्सुधीः

A wise person should place a calf at its side, made with a fourth part.

एवं कार्या रसैर्धेनुरिक्षुपादसमन्विता

Thus should a rasa-cow be made, furnished with sugarcane feet.

सुवर्णशृंगाभरणा वस्त्रपुच्छा घृतस्तनी

With golden horns and ornaments, a cloth for a tail, and ghee for udders,

दन्ताः फलमयास्तस्याः पृष्ठं ताम्रमयं शुभम्

its teeth made of fruit, its back auspicious and made of copper.

सप्तव्रीहिसमायुक्तां चतुर्दिक्षु च दीपिताम्

Adorned with seven grains of rice and made radiant in the four directions,

चत्वारि तिलपात्राणि चतुर्दिक्षु निवेशयेत्

He should place four bowls of sesame in the four directions.

रसधेनुः प्रदातव्या स्वर्गकामेन नित्यदा

One who desires heaven should always give a cow yielding sweet juice.

दाता च ग्राहकश्चैव एककालमभोजनः 101.

Both the giver and the receiver must fast for one meal on that day.

दीयमानां तु पश्यन्ति ते च यान्ति परां गतिम्

Those who witness the giving also attain the highest state.

पूर्वोक्तैरेव मन्त्रैस्तु ततस्तां प्रार्थयेत्सुधीः

Then, with the previously mentioned mantras, the wise should offer prayers for her.

दशपूर्वान्परांश्चैव आत्मानं चैकविंशकम्

He should dedicate ten ancestors, ten descendants, and himself as the twenty-first.

एषा ते कथिता राजन्रसधेनुरनुत्तमा

O King, thus I have described to you the unsurpassed cow yielding sweet juice.

य इदं पठते नित्यं शृणुयादथ भक्तितः

Whoever recites or listens to this daily with devotion—

इति श्रीवराहपुराणे श्वेतविनीताश्वोपाख्याने रसधेनुदानमाहात्म्यं नाम एकाधिकशततमोऽध्यायः

Thus ends the one hundred and first chapter, entitled 'The Greatness of Giving the Cow Yielding Sweet Juice,' in the Śrī Varāha Purāṇa, in the narrative of Śveta and Vinītāśva.

गुडधेनुमाहात्म्यम् होतोवाच - गुडधेनुं प्रवक्ष्यामि सर्वकामार्थसाधिनीम् । अनुलिप्ते महीपृष्ठे कृष्णाजिनकुशास्तृते

The greatness of the sugar-cow. Hota spoke: I shall describe the sugar-cow, which fulfills all desires. On unsmeared earth, covered with black antelope skin and kuśa grass—

तस्योपरिकृतं वस्त्रं गुडमानीय पुष्कलम् । कृत्वा गुडमयीं धेनुं सवसाङ्‌कास्यदेहिनीम्

Upon that, place a cloth and bring abundant sugar. Fashion a cow out of sugar, complete with all its limbs and features.
