They who make gifts of cows, and who subsist upon the remnants of things offered as libations on the sacred fire, are regarded as always performing sacrifices of every kind.Of all kinds of gifts, the gift of cows is applauded as the highest. Cows are the foremost of all things. They are sacred, they are the best of cleansers and sanctifiers. People should cherish cows for obtaining prosperity and even peace.
