The Vision of Śiva1.18

1.18
गोः स्तनात्पाततः क्षीरे विकारस्तत एव हि । न च क्षीरमित्येष व्यपदेशोऽस्ति तत्क्षणम् ॥१८॥
goḥ stanātpātataḥ kṣīre vikārastata eva hi | na ca kṣīramityeṣa vyapadeśo'sti tatkṣaṇam
— of a cow ; — from the udder ; — upon its falling ; — in the milk ; — modification ; — thereby ; — just ; — indeed ; — not ; — and ; — 'milk' ; — thus ; — this ; — designation ; — there is ; — at that very instant

When milk falls from a cow's udder there is a modification just by that (falling); yet at that very instant the designation 'milk' (as a settled product) does not yet apply.
