Varaha Purana 111.16: Adhyaya 111, Shloka 16
The Eulogy of Donating a Tawny (Kapilā) Cow
नवमी पाटला ज्ञेया दशमी पुच्छपिङ्गला ॥ एकादशी खुरश्वेता त्वेतासां सर्वलक्षणाः ॥
navamī pāṭalā jñeyā daśamī pucchapiṅgalā || ekādaśī khuraśvetā tv etāsāṃ sarvalakṣaṇāḥ ||
नवमी वाली गाय का रंग गुलाबी होता है। दसमी वाली की पूँछ पीली होती। एकादशी वाली के खुरे साफ सफेद हैं। यह तीनों के पूरे निशान हैं।
