This is the month of Māgha, in which cow-slaughter and beef-eating were proverbial at one time, according to Śāntiparvan 137.85:
gṛha-sneh'āvabaddhānāṃ narāṇām alpa-medhasām
kustrī khādati māṃsāni Māgha-māse gavām iva
Of men of little intellect, constrained by love for home, a bad woman eats the flesh, like that of cows in the month of Māgha.
And Bhīṣmaparvan 114.60:
kṛntanti mama gātrāṇi Māgha-māse gavām iva
Arjunasya ime bāṇā n'eme bāṇāḥ Śikhaṇḍinaḥ
They cut my limbs like those of cows in the month of Māgha. These arrows are Arjuna's! These arrows aren't Śikhaṇḍin's!
Over time, beef-eating fell out of favour in India, and commentators attempted to obfuscate the offensive simile by dividing the words Māgha-māse gavām differently: māghamā segavām. They glossed māghamā as a female crab or scorpion, and segavām as her offspring. On top of the fact that these words don't exist in any other known Saṃskṛta text, the commentators faced another problem: segavām looks like a direct object (accusative declension) and māghamā looks like a subject (nominative declension), the inverse of their idea that the baby arthropod destroys its mother. To get around the problem, they either switched their definitions: māghamā is the newborn and segavām means the mother giving birth; or they rewrote the text: māghamāṃ segavā iva.
^Hey sorry for disappearing...at the time when this was taken literally, did they like beef or disliked it (Bheeshma from the dialogue seems to not be in favour so much)?
I read in one article that at one point beef was reserved for esteemed guests?
