Kine, by giving milk, rescue all the worlds from calamity. It is kine, again, that produce the food upon which creatures live. One who, knowing the extent of the service that kine do, does not entertain in his heart love for kine, is a sinner who is sure to sink in Hell.
गावो लोकांस्तारयन्ति क्षरन्त्यो गावश्चान्नं संजनयन्ति लोके। यस्तं जानन गवां हार्दमेति स वै गन्ता निरयं पापचेताः॥
