ON
COWS
Bhishma said:
One
should never feel any repugnance for the urine
and the dung of the cow. One should never show
any disregard for cows in any way. If evil
dreams are seen, men should take the names
of cows. One should never obstruct cows
in any way. Cows are the mothers of both the
Past and the Future. Every morning, people
should bow with reverence unto cows. Cows are
sacred. They are the foremost of all things
in the world. They are verily the refuge of
the universe. They are the mothers of the very
deities. They are verily incomparable. Cows
are the mothers of the universe.* There is
no gift more sacred than the gift of cows.
There is no gift that produces more blessed
merit. [From the Mahabharata, Anusasana
Parva, Sections LXXXIII - LXXVII - LXXVI]
