Scene: A decorated cow with a calf stands near the riverbank; attendants hold garlands and cloth; the donor gestures toward the brāhmaṇa recipient; multiple cows of different colors are shown as acceptable offerings.
Giving life-sustaining gifts (like a milk-yielding cow with calf) is upheld as a powerful dharmic support for rites and merit.
The instruction belongs to the Eraṇḍī-saṅgama / Revā Khaṇḍa setting.
Go-dāna: donate an adorned, young, milk-giving cow together with her calf; color is not a restriction.
