She is believed to have emerged during the Samudra Manthan, the churning of the ocean of milk by the Devas (demi gods) and Asuras (demons). After her emergence, Kamdhenu was given to the Saptarishis (the seven sages) to provide milk and ghee for holy yagnas (ritual sacrifices). According to the Mahabharata, Kamdhenu was born when Daksha Prajapati consumed Amrit, the elixir of life.
