Kamadhenu

कामधेनु · kāmadhenu

The cow of plenty, who grants every wish

Whoever keeps her lacks nothing, which is why kings kept trying to steal her.

Kamadhenu, also called Surabhi, is the divine cow who yields whatever her keeper desires. She too came from the churning of the ocean and is counted the mother of all cattle. A cow of her kind belonged to the sage Vasishtha, and the Vasus' theft of it is the reason Bhishma was born on earth.
