Now, O King, listen as I describe the sacred procedure for donating the water-cow, a rite to be performed on an auspicious day according to ancient ordinance. At the heart of the ritual, a full water pot is to be placed. The cow, which is to be offered, must be carefully prepared and bathed with fragrant water. Alongside this, there should be a vessel symbolizing increase, adorned with mechanical flowers, signifying abundance and beauty. Into the pot, five precious gems are deposited, accompanied by the fruit of the dhatri tree, mustard seeds, and grains of every kind, all gathered together as offerings of prosperity. Two vessels must also be present: one filled with pure ghee and another with fresh curds. The cow itself is to be fashioned with a golden mouth and eyes, its horns black as night. Its back should be made of copper, and a bronze vessel is provided for milking. Darbha grass fibers are used to complete its form, sanctifying the gift. The cow is laid upon a blanket, adorned with a garland of fresh flowers; its mouth is made sweet with jaggery, and its teeth are crafted from shells. In addition, one should prepare a cow formed from sugarcane, beautifully decorated with fragrant blossoms. After worshipping this sacred cow with flowers, it is to be offered to a Brahmin—one who is virtuous, learned in the Vedas, and maintains the sacred fire. O King, hear this wondrous truth: whoever gives, sees, or even hears of the giving of the water-cow—be he a slayer of a Brahmin, a killer of parents, a destroyer of cows, a drinker of liquor, or one who has wronged his teacher’s wife—such a one is freed from all sins and attains the blessed world of Vishnu. The one who donates the water-cow in its entirety, O ruler of men, and even the receiver of the gift, should remain for three nights as prescribed—of this there can be no doubt. Wherever the Apsaras sing in celestial delight, there do the givers of the water-cow go, freed from all sin and united with Vishnu. One who has mastered his senses and is thus freed from sin attains heaven. Thus concludes the hundredth chapter of the glorious Varaha Purana, in the story of Shvetavinitaashva, describing the procedure for the water-cow. Now, O King, hear of the greatness of giving the rasa-cow, the cow yielding sweet juice. I shall briefly tell you the proper procedure. One must take a pot filled with rasa, the essence of sweetness, and another brimming with sugarcane juice. At the side of these, a wise person should place a calf, fashioned with a fourth part of the same materials. Thus is the rasa-cow created, its feet made of sugarcane. It is adorned with golden horns and ornaments, its tail fashioned from cloth, and its udders filled with ghee. Its teeth are made of fruit, its back is auspicious and formed of copper. Seven grains of rice are placed upon it, and it is made radiant in all four directions. In each direction, four bowls of sesame are set. One who desires heaven should always give such a cow, yielding sweet juice. On the day of the gift, both giver and receiver must fast for one meal. Even those who witness the giving attain the highest state. Then, with the prescribed mantras, prayers are offered for the cow. The donor dedicates the merit to ten ancestors, ten descendants, and himself as the twenty-first. Thus, O King, have I described the unsurpassed rasa-cow. Whoever recites or listens to this daily with devotion is greatly blessed. This concludes the one hundred and first chapter, 'The Greatness of Giving the Cow Yielding Sweet Juice,' in the Śrī Varāha Purāṇa, in the narrative of Śveta and Vinītāśva. Now, hear of the greatness of the sugar-cow, which fulfills all desires. Hota spoke: On unsmeared earth, covered with the black antelope skin and kuśa grass, a cloth is spread. Upon this, abundant sugar is brought, and a cow is fashioned from sugar, complete with all its limbs and features. Thus are the sacred procedures and the greatness of these divine gifts revealed, bestowing merit, absolution, and the highest realms upon those who perform, witness, or even hear of them with faith.
