Milking cows, as in Padyāvalī:
"With His fingers held in place by the tip of His thumb, His feet firmly positioned on the ground,
liberally moistening the tips of the udder at once with drops of milk,
O friend, Dāmodara milks the cow, pleasing with the sound of the stream falling
into the space within the mouth of the vessel clamped between His lowered knees."
