O powerful brahmaṇa, it is said that you hardly stay in the houses of men long enough to milk a cow.
PURPORT: Saints and sages in the renounced order of life go to the houses of the householders at the time they milk the cows, early in the morning, and ask some quantity of milk for subsistence. A pound of milk fresh from the milk bag of a cow is sufficient to feed an adult with all vitamin values, and

therefore saints and sages live only on milk.

Even the poorest of the householders keep at least ten cows, each delivering twelve to twenty quarts of milk, and therefore no one hesitates to spare a few pounds of milk for the mendicants. Srimad Bhagavatam 1.19.39

The whole day’s business was finished. Bg 3.17-20 NY, May 27, 1966
