Kamadhenu
In Hindu mythology, Kamadhenu (Sanskrit: कामधेनु, IPA: ) was a divine cow who was believed to be the mother of all cows. Like her daughter Nandini, she could grant any wish for the true seeker. Kamadhenu provided Vasishta with his needs for the sacrifices. Kamadhenu (kama-dhenu, 'wish-cow'), was a miraculous cow of plenty who could give her owner whatever he desired.

Kamadhenu
Kamadhenu (Sanskrit) [from kama desire, wish + dhenu milch cow] Also Kamaduha, Surabhi. The mythical cow belonging to the sage Vasishtha, produced by the gods at the churning of the cosmic ocean. She is supposed to grant all desires and hence is termed the cow of plenty. This allegory refers to the appearance of the earth in space as the mother of all that later is -- at least so far as our globe is concerned -- the earth being mythologically considered to be milked and thus producing food. Many archaic mythologies have such an emblem of generative fertility.
