Brahmā–Indra–Surabhi Itihāsa
वातरेणुसवर्णा तु सवत्सां कांस्यदोहनाम् | प्रदाय वस्त्रसंवीतां वायुलोके महीयते
vātareṇusavarṇā tu savatsāṃ kāṃsyadohanām | pradāya vastrasaṃvītāṃ vāyuloke mahīyate ||
قال فاسيشثا: من تصدّق ببقرةٍ لونها كلون الغبار الذي تذروه الرياح، ومعها عجلها، ومع إناءٍ من البرونز للحلب، وقدّمها مكسوّةً بثوب، كُرِّم في عالم فايُو (Vāyu-loka).

Educational Q&A
That a complete, considerate gift—here, a cow given with her calf, a proper milking vessel, and a cloth covering—constitutes dharmic charity and produces merit, symbolized by honor in Vāyu’s realm.
Vasiṣṭha is describing the फल (result) of a specific form of go-dāna: donating a dust-colored cow along with supporting items; the stated outcome is reverence in Vāyuloka.
