Vrindavan's cows


brahmānandam avāpya tīvra-tapasā samyak-prasādyeśvaraṁ
gorūpāḥ sakalā ihopaniṣadaḥ kṛṣṇe ramante vraje |
vṛndāraṇya-tṛṇaṁ tu divya-rasadaṁ nityaṁ carantyo’niśaṁ
rādhā-kṛṣṇa-pādāmbujottama-rasāsvādena pūrṇāḥ sthitāḥ ||1.12||
Even after attaining Brahmananda, the Upanishads continued to perform great austerities to perfectly please the Supreme Lord so that they could take birth as cows in Vrindavan. Now they take pleasure here in the pastures, grazing on the juicy grasses of the Vrindavan forest, feeling total satisfaction at relishing the taste of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna's divine lotus feet.
Vrindavana-mahimamrita 1.12, Prabodhananda Saraswati.
