XCII. 3, XCIII. 1-3.] त्रिनवतितमोऽध्यायः 703 आगच्छन्त्यो वेश्मबम्भारवेण संसेवन्त्यो गोष्ठवृद्धौ गवां गाः । आर्द्र्राङ्गयो वा हृष्टरोम्ण्यः प्रहृष्टा धन्या गावः स्युर्महिष्योऽपि चैवम् Sloka 3.—If cows while coming home with the cry of बम्भा follow other cows (fondling them), there will be increase of cows in the cow-shed; if they are wet in body, happy or have the hair standing on ends, they bring fortune to their owner.
