AVŚ 12.4.42

तां देवा अमीमांसन्त वशेया३म् अवशेति । ताम् अब्रवीन् नारद एषा वशानां वशतमेति ॥४२॥

tāṃ devā amīmāṃsanta vaśeyā3m avaśeti | tām abravīn nārada eṣā vaśānāṃ vaśatameti ||42||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

The gods questioned (mīmāṅs-) about her: is this a cow ⌊ vaçā́ ⌋, or not a cow.' Of her Nārada said: she is of cows the most truly cow (vaçátama).
