धेनुः cow, गच्छन्तम् wandering, स्वं वत्सम् its calf, कथं हि how, नानुगच्छति will not follow, पुत्र son, यत्र whereever, गमिष्यसि you will go, अहम् I, त्वा you, अनुगमिष्यामि will follow.
English Commentary
I shall follow you wherever you go, my son, like a cow following its calf. How is it possible for a cow not to follow its wandering calf?
