O noble king, listen with reverence to the sacred account of the ritual of gifting a milk cow, as revealed in the Varāha Purāṇa. The cow to be given is fashioned in an extraordinary and auspicious manner: her horns are made of gleaming gold, and she is adorned with fragrant sandalwood and precious agarwood. Her feet are crafted from sugarcane, her hair is darbha grass, and she is wrapped in a pure white blanket, signifying sanctity. Her mouth is formed from sweet jaggery, and her tongue too is made of sugar, embodying sweetness in every aspect. Her tail is wondrous, with udders fashioned from fresh, pure butter. As part of the ritual, four vessels filled with sesame seeds are placed in the four directions, sanctifying the space. Incense and lamps are offered in worship, filling the air with fragrance and light. The cow, thus honored, is then presented to a worthy Brahmin. Along with the cow, shoes, sandals, and an umbrella are also offered as gifts, ensuring the recipient’s comfort and dignity. The ritual is performed with the recitation of the sacred mantra ‘āpyāyasva,’ as prescribed in the Vedas, invoking blessings and prosperity. With this mantra, the giver seeks to please the divine cow, the source of nourishing milk. Those who witness this act of giving, O king among men, are themselves uplifted, attaining the highest spiritual state. Understand, O great king, the fruits of such a generous act: the giver, accompanied by his ancestors and kin, ascends to the abode of Brahma. After enjoying celestial pleasures there for a long time, he is then elevated to the realm of Vishnu, where he is served by celestial maidens amidst the joyous sounds of singing and musical instruments. Even those who simply hear or recite this account with devotion are blessed. Thus concludes the sacred chapter on the ritual of giving a milk cow. Now, O king, listen further to the greatness of gifting a curd-producing cow and the procedure to be followed. In this ritual, a cowhide is used, adorned with heaps of fresh flowers. A pot of curd is placed upon a mound made of seven kinds of grains, symbolizing abundance. This pot is covered with a pair of cloths and honored with flowers and fragrant substances. The curd-cow is then given to a Brahmin who is endowed with virtues such as forbearance. As before, sandals, shoes, and an umbrella are offered, and the appropriate mantra is recited. Having given the curd-cow in this way, the sacrificer is said to reside as a king for three nights, honored among the twice-born. Whoever listens to or shares the account of this meritorious act with devotion is also blessed. Thus ends the chapter on the greatness of the gift of the curd-cow. Next, O king, hear with attention about the supreme merit of gifting a butter-cow—a cow fashioned entirely of fresh butter. The ritual begins by smearing the earth with sacred cow dung, upon which a cowhide is respectfully placed. Upon this, a pot containing a prastha of fresh butter is set. According to the injunctions, the butter-cow is then fashioned: she is given golden horns and a beautiful face, her lips are formed with flowers and fruits, her teeth are carefully arranged, and her dewlap is made of white threads. Her udders are shaped from butter, and her legs from sugarcane. She is further adorned with golden horns, silver hooves, and decorated with five precious gems. A pair of cloths covers her, and she is festooned with fragrant flowers. As the ritual proceeds, all the mantras prescribed for the gifting of cows are recited, sanctifying the act. The fresh butter, considered as divine nectar, is declared auspicious. The butter-cow, thus consecrated, is then given to a householder Brahmin, along with the oblation and the essence of the offering. Whoever beholds this sacred act of giving, together with his ancestors and descendants, is uplifted and blessed. Thus, O best of kings, are the rituals and merits of gifting the milk cow, the curd-cow, and the butter-cow, as revealed in the Śvetavinītāśva narrative of the glorious Varāha Purāṇa.
