So Hindus can trade 'beads' with a Braahmin for salvation?
58-61. 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 Brāhmiṇ, learned in the Vedas,--one is absolved of all these sins. The giver is released by her at the end from the accumulated sins.
62-63. 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. A gift made to a deserving person, who has bathed at the sacred waters, increases a hundred thousand fold.
