The Yoga of Divine Glories

Krishna continues enumerating manifestations in various categories. 'Āyudhānām ahaṁ vajram'—among weapons, I am the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt (vajra) is Indra's weapon, the most powerful. 'Dhenūnām asmi kāmadhuk'—among cows, I am Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow. 'Prajanas̆ cāsmi kandarpaḥ'—among causes for procreation, I am Kama, the god of love. 'Sarpāṇām asmi vāsukiḥ'—among serpents, I am Vasuki, the king of serpents. This verse shows Krishna as the source of power (thunderbolt), abundance (Kamadhenu), creation (Kama), and transformation (Vasuki). Each represents the best or most powerful in its category.
