The demon with sword states, "O human beings, watch the meat eaters in Kali yuga". The man in the front of the cow with raised hands states, "please don't kill, the cow is the life source for everyone". Below the cow, a community of diverse background is sharing milk and "milk products." Above the cow, are two Sanskrit verses (shlokas) about the selfless giving by, "the cow," a virtue like those of one's parents and the gods. |
Notes | Part of pamphlets circulated by various Agorakshanasabh (“cow protection leagues”) and “wandering ascetics” as a protest against cattle slaughter. |
