3rd Mantra of Kathopanishad.
(तृतीय मन्त्र)
पीतोदका जग्धतृणा दुग्धदोहा निरिन्द्रिया:।
अनन्दा नाम ते लोकास्तान् स गच्छति ता ददत् ॥३॥
अनन्दा नाम ते लोकास्तान् स गच्छति ता ददत् ॥३॥
जो (गौएं) अन्तिम बार जल पी चुकी हैं, जो घास खा चुकी हैं, जिनका दूध दुहा जा चुका है, जिनकी इन्द्रियां शिथिल हो चुकी हैं, उनको (दान में) देनवाला उन लोको को प्राप्त होता है, जो आनन्दरहित हैं।
There are cows, which have already drunk the water, already eaten the grass, whose milk is also driven out, and those whose reproductive power has waned. The person who donates these cows will achieve (after his death) only joyless realms (loka). (Means Nachiketa thought that one should never give this type of donation. Because it is believed in Indian culture that one should donate the thing which one love the most,)
