As per the texts of the Puranas, the Kamadhenu \u201cis a Goddess who possesses marvellous attainments and powers\u201d and \u201call the cattle which are there in the universe today have descended from the Kamadhenu\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Kamadhenu cow is considered as the ultimate cure for all illnesses as it is a miraculous amalgamation of Lakshmi; the Goddess of wealth, Saraswati; the Goddess of power, and Durga.
