Brihad Bhagavatamrta
Part 1 Chapter 6 Text 111

vrindaranya vraja-bhuvi gavam tatra govardhane va
naste himsa-harana-rahite raksakasyapy apeksa
gavo gatvosasi vipinatas ta mahisy-adi-yuktah
svairam bhuktva sa-jala-yavasam sayam ayanti vasam

TRANSLATION
Vrindavana Forest, Govardhana Hill, and the whole area of Vraja, are free from violence and theft. So one need not bother to watch one’s cows. The cows simply go out into the forests in the morning with the other domestic animals like the buffaloes, eat grass and drink water as they like, and then in the evening com home.
