From Kol Folklore
There was once a god called Amrit in whose belly was the Water of Immortality. Whenever any human child was born, he used to take a little of this water from his belly and give it to drink, whereupon the child would become immortal.
Bhachka Dano had a child born in his house and went to Amrit Deo to get some of the water for it, but the god refused and there was a quarrel. The Dano turned himself into an old cow and fell into a ditch near the house. Presently Amrit Deo came by. “Whose poor old cow is this?” He tried to get it out of the ditch but when he had got it on its feet the cow suddenly turned on him and pierced his belly with its sharp horn. The Water of Immortality poured out and fell to the ground. Another god heard Amrit’s cries and came running to help him. When he saw what had happened he said, “Take your belly to a stream and wash it there.” He did so and the other god pushed the entrails back inside him and tied up the wound.
Before the people did not eat because of the Water of Immortality in the belly, nor did they excrete, nor did cattle do any work. But now they had to eat and excrete and they began to die. For its share in bringing death to the world the cow was put to the plough and made to work.
