AV 5.18 Sukta ब्रह्मगवी-Seer -मयोभूः
WHY COW'S FLESH SHOULD NOT BE EATEN Cow sustains the world for cheerfulness all around
Subject of the Sukta Devta is देवता= ब्रह्मगवी (ब्रह्मगवि:- ब्रह्म -भृ धातु से मन प्रत्यय लगा कर ब्रह्म श्ब्द बना है । भ्रीयते जगदस्मिन-जो संसार का अधिकरण है, अथवा भ्रीयते जगदनेन; जो संसार को धारण करने वाली है वह गवि - गौ । ब्रह्मगवि- गौ जो संसार को धारण करती है)
Seer ऋषि: of this chapter is मयोभू: = ( मयोभू -भूमि पर आनन्द की दृष्टि से )
Vedas do not spell out vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets. But instead talk abot three classificationsof life style, food etc, Satvik, Rajasik and Tamsik. But strongly speak on AHINSA- nonviolence in every sphere.

1.5.1.1 AV5.18.1
नैतां ते देवा अददुस्तभ्यं नृपते अत्तवे।
मा ब्राह्मणस्य राजन्य गां जिघत्सो जनाद्याम् ॥ अथर्व 5-18-1
Gods have not created this cow for your eating it. Strong powerful men should not resort to cow killings for food.
अक्षद्गुग्धो राजन्यः पाप आत्मपराजितः।
स ब्राह्मणस्य गामद्यादद्य जीवानि मा श्वः ॥ अथर्व 5-18-2
Self ruined, by their own conducts in life, individuals given to gambling, evil, criminal behavior, if they indulge in killing cows and eating them, may be able to live today but will surely become extinct tomorrow.
आविष्टिताघाविषा पृदाकूरिव चर्मणा ।
सा ब्राह्मणस्य राजन्य तृष्टैषा गौर नाद्या ॥ अथर्व 5-18-3
Cow may appear to be made with covering of leather, but her interiors can be as if filled with venom of poisonous deadly snake. Noble ones should never be harsh to cows and ensure that cows are not eaten.
(Incidentally this message is also provided in Koran by Prophet Mohammad---
निर्वै क्षत्रं नयति हन्ति वर्चोऽग्निरिवारब्धो वि दुनोति सर्वस् ।
यो ब्राह्मणं मन्यते अन्नमेव स विषस्य पिबति तैमातस्य ॥ अथर्व 5-18-4
Aggressive persons, who eat life sustaining agents like the cows, truly consume poisons. The negative environmental effects of consuming sustainable living strategies, boom rang on the society to cause overall destruction.
य एनं हन्ति मृदुं मन्यमानो देवपीयुर्धनकामो न चित्तात्।
सं तस्येन्द्गो हृदयेऽग्निमिन्ध उभे एनं द्विष्टो नभसी चरन्तम् ॥ अथर्व 5-18-5
The Enemies of civilized behavior think that cows cannot defend themselves. They kill cows, but by their conduct such persons, fire the hearts of right mind men who hound such enemies of civilized behavior to punish them here on earth in this world and the next world.
न ब्राह्मणो हिंसितव्यो3ग्निः प्रियतनोरिव ।
सोमो ह्य स्य दायद इन्द्गो अस्याभिशस्तिपाः ॥ अथर्व 5-18-6
They (Cows) should never be killed. They provide with warmth and comfort like fire, provide the highest forms of intellect, and fill the individuals with qualities strength and valor to be victorious in all situations.
शतापाष्ठां नि गिरति तां न शक्नोति निःखिदन् ।
अन्नं यो ब्रह्मणां मल्वः स्वाद्व द्यीति मन्यते ॥ अथर्व 5-18-7
The unfortunate persons, who kill and rejoice in eating their (cow’s) flesh, suffer with innumerable maladies from which they can never recover.

Dear Subodh,
My mature Jyotish astrology student, Rameshrao Narayan explains that because
the gestation period of cows is almost exactly the same as for humans, their flesh
is vibrationally equivalent to human flesh. Therefore, eating any Bos species, e.g.
B Indicus or B. Taurus, has the same vibrational effect and karmic consequences
as cannibalism!!!
No better reason for avoiding beef,
All best wishes,
Alex
