Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.24.30

etan mama mataḿ tāta

kriyatāḿ yadi rocate

ayaḿ go-brāhmaṇādrīṇāḿ

mahyaḿ ca dayito makhaḥ

SYNONYMS

etat — this; mama — My; matam — idea; tāta — O father; kriyatām — may it be carried out; yadi — if; rocate — it is pleasing; ayam — this; go-brāhmaṇa-adrīṇām — for the cows, brāhmaṇas and Govardhana Hill; mahyam — for Me; ca — also; dayitaḥ — cherished; makhaḥ — sacrifice.

TRANSLATION

This is My idea, O father, and you may carry it out if it appeals to you. Such a sacrifice will be very dear to the cows, the brāhmaṇas and Govardhana Hill, and also to Me.

PURPORT

Whatever is pleasing to the brāhmaṇas, the cows and the Supreme Lord Himself is auspicious and beneficial for the entire world. Spiritually blind "modern" people do not understand this and instead adopt a "scientific" approach to life that is rapidly destroying the entire earth.
