Matsyapurana 25.34

25.34

hutaṃ caivāgnihotraṃ te sūryaścāstaṃ gataḥ prabho
agopāścāgatā gāvaḥ kacastāta na dṛśyate //

“Sire, you have finished your Agnihotra, the sun has descended below the horizon, these cows are without their keeper, and Kacha is nowhere visible to-day. Undoubtedly Kacha has been either killed or captured and if this be the case I say truly I cannot live without him.”—33-35.
