Given
- through the father has a hundred-fold merit;
- through the mother, a thousand-fold;
- through the sister, ten-thousand fold;
- through the brother, incalculable.
Vaitaranicirc
Towards the end, a cow should be given. He should give a cow to
- overcome death,
- another to absolve himself of debts,
- another for the gaining of liberation.
With special rites, O Bird, should the gift of a cow for Vaitaranicirc; be made. The cows verily carry the man beyond three kinds of hells.
The sins committed in
- boyhood,
- in youth,
- in manhood,
- in old age and
- in previous births;
The sins committed
- in the night,
- in the morning,
- in the forenoon and
- the afternoon,
- in the twilight;--of action, speech and thought,
Having given even once a tawny cow, milkgiving, with the calf and other necessary things, to a well-conducted and austere Brahmin, learned in the Vedas,--one is absolved of all these sins. The giver is released by her at the end from the accumulated sins.
The gift of one cow while one is in full vigour of mind, the gift of a hundred cows while suffering from diseases, the gift of a thousand when dying and bereft of mental faculties,And the gift of one hundred thousand cows after death 1, are equal.
80,000 faces!
Garuda immediately proceeded forward. However a huge fire stopped him. The fire was so hot that Garuda felt the searing pain in his flesh. I need water...he thought plenty of it...
No sooner had Garuda thought it, he grew to a massive size with 80,000 faces! He then flew back to the earth and in each of his mouth carried one river of water. He then returned to heavens with the water in his mouth and poured the water on the fire.
Though the fire was hot, the quantity of water was so high that the water was snuffed out immediately. The wall of fire evaporated as Garuda stepped through the second line of defence.
