  1. KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
  2. A farmer, doing good to cows, regularly going to fields,
    knowing the proper season, mindful of seeds, free from lethargy
    (becomes rich) with all crops and does not suffer.
    Now the rule about draught-animals
  3. Carry on cultivation in such a manner as does not inflict
    pain on the draught-animals. Grains, obtained through the suffer-
    ing of draught-animals, are condemned in all the rites.
  4. Corns, obtained through oppression of draught-animals,
    though grown fourfold, are quickly destroyed by their sighs.
  5. By molasses, fodder, smoke and other nourishments and also
    by grazing in the morning and evening draught-animals suffer
    nowhere.
  6. The draught-animals of one, whose cowshed is very strongly
    built, pure and free from cowdung, grow up even without nourish-
    ments.
  7. Of what use are nourishments etc. at a place where the
    draught-animals go out every day from the cowshed with their bodies
    besmeared with cowdung and cows' urine?
  8. A cowshed, measuring five steps, is known to be conducive
    to the growth of cows. Made in siṃha-geha,¹ it surely causes des-
    truction of cows.
  9. Bell-metal, water kept in a vessel of bell-metal, hot scum,
    water with which fish has been washed and carding of kārpāsa (cotton)
    —these in the cowshed are destructive to cows.²
  10. One is sure to sustain loss of cows by keeping, in the cow-
    shed, a broom-stick, a pestle, remnant of food and by tying a goat
    there.
  11. What hope for draught-animals can there be where house-
    holders cleanse cows' excrements by cows' urine?
  12. If one wishes the welfare of cows, then one should not,
    even by mistake, part with cowdung on Sunday, Tuesday and
    Saturday.
    1 The period of sun's stay in Leo.
    2 S. P. Roy Chaudhuri notes that "under such conditions easily ferment-
    able bacteria thrive."
