Book VI. Go-Harana (Cattle-Lifting) – 74<br />
With a pious hand Yudhishthir, true in heart and pure in mind,<br />
Made his gifts in gold and garments, kine and wealth <strong>of</strong> every kind,<br />
Costly chariots, beds <strong>of</strong> splendour, robes with thread <strong>of</strong> gold belaced,<br />
Viands rich and sweet confection, drinks <strong>the</strong> richest and <strong>the</strong> best,<br />
Lands he gave unto <strong>the</strong> Brahman, bullocks to <strong>the</strong> labouring swain,<br />
Steeds he gave unto <strong>the</strong> warrior, to <strong>the</strong> people gifts and grain,<br />
And <strong>the</strong> city <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Matsyas, teeming with a wealth untold,<br />
Shone with festive joy and gladness and with flags and cloth <strong>of</strong> gold.
