Prayers to the Cow From Rig Veda

mātā rudrāṇāṁ duhitā vasūnām

svasādityānām amṛtasya nābhiḥ pra

nu vocam cikituse janāya mā

gāmanā gām aditim vadhishta

"The cow is the mother of the Rudras, and the daughter of the Vasus. She is the sister of the Adityas and a source of nectar in the form of Ghee. To all thoughtful men I advise: never kill an innocent Cow."
