“O grandsire Bhishma! Brahma is the master of all the three Lokas. Brahma’s abode is called Goloka. Why?” asked Dharmaja.
“O Dharmaja! In the past, Visvakarma performed great Tapas and created Surabhi(sacred cow) as his brain child. Along with Surabhi, Visvakarma created another glorious man. That man fell in love with Surabhi. Brahma blessed both of them. Brahma named him as Marthanda and performed his marriage with Surabhi. Cows were born to both of them. Both divine bodies and human bodies were worshipping cows. Cows also were accomplishing the desires of divine bodies and human beings.” said Bhishma to Dharmaja.
“O grand sire! you told me that Marthanda married Surabhi. Tell me about their children. Who were born first?” asked Dharmaja.
“O Dharmaja! first, eleven sons were born. They are Ekadasa Rudras. They are:
(1)Ajapada,
(2) Ahirbudhnyudu,
(3)Triyambaka
(4)Vrushakapi
(5)Sambhu
(6)Hara
(7)Bahuroopa
(8)Ugra
(9)Visvaroopa
(10)Kapaali
(11)Raivata.
All these eleven Rudras were worshipped by the entire world. After the eleven Rudras, Surabhi gave birth to several cows. All the divine bodies reside in several parts of the cow. Therefore, the glory of cow is indescribable.
