In the book, Rig-Veda, you can read many stanzas, where the cows are given a divine status. The book VI of the Hymn XXVIII, of the Rig Veda, pertaining to Rishi Bhardwaja also sings the praises of virtue of the Indian cow. Atharvaveda (The fourth Veda among the Vedas-a Hindu sacred text) designates the cow to an earthy form of Lord Vishnu and its divinity has also been confirmed by Kautilya, also called Chanakya, who was chief minister of Chandra Gupta Maurya’s cabinet) in Arthasastra (referring to texts on wealth).
