May I always reside in the midst of cows. — Hari Bhakti-vilas 16.252

"A person who daily touches a cow after taking bath becomes liberated from all
sinful reactions. Those who smear themselves with the dust from the hooves of the
cow are said to have taken bath in all holy places. Such people become free from all
types of sin.” — Padma Puräna

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept in playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus petals with head decked with peacock's feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds, and His unique loveliness charming millions of Cupids."
Govindam adi purusam tam aham bhajami
om apavitrah pavitro va
sarvavastham gato 'pi va
yah smaret pundarikaksam
sa bahyabhyantarah sucih
"Either pure or impure, having passed through all conditions of material life ,if one can remember the lotus-eyed Krsna,he becomes externally and internally clean."
~Garuda Purana
