Punishments
(Atharv Veda 1/16/4) Vedas prescribe killing with bullet of lead for a cow killer.
If thou destroy a cow of ours, a human being, or a steed,
we pierce thee with this piece of lead so that thou mayst not slay
our men.
Source- Hymns of the Atharv Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith
2. (Rig Veda 7.56.17) Punish the killer of the cow and the man.
So may the Maruts help us and be gracious, bringing free room to lovely Earth and Heaven.
Far be your bolt that slayeth men and cattle. Ye Vasus, turn yourselves to us with blessings.
Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith
3. (Rig-Veda 1/114/10) Vedas says to keep away from the killer of the cow
Far be thy dart that killeth men or cattle: thy bliss be with us, O thou Lord of Heroes.
Be gracious unto us, O God, and bless us, and then vouchsafe us doubly-strong protection.
Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith
4. (Rig Veda 10/87/16) Those who kill the ‘Aghanya’, the cow which is not to be killed according to the Vedic edicts, their heads should be chopped off.
The fiend who smears himself with flesh of cattle, with flesh of horses and of human bodies,
Who steals the milch-cow's milk away, O Agni,—tear off the heads of such with fiery fury.
Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith
5. (Yajurveda 30/18) Vedas Awards death sentence to the killer of the cow.
For the Dice-king a gambler; for the die Krita one who
contemplates his adversary's ill luck, for the Tretâ a
gamble-manager; for the Dvâpara a chief manager; for Askanda
one who will not leave the gambling-hall; for Mrityu one
who approaches cows; for Antaka a Cow-killer; for
Hunger one who goes begging to a man who is cutting
up a cow; for Misdeed a leader of the Charakas; for
Misery a robber;
