ya evaṃ viduṣe 'dattvāthānyebhyo dadad vaśām | durgā tasmā adhiṣṭhāne pṛthivī sahadevatā ||23||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Whoever, not having given her to one who knoweth thus, then shall give the cow to others, hard to go upon for him in his station is the earth with its deity.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
