Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 10 verse 28

 Chapter 10 verse 28 

I am the Vajra (thunderbolt) amongst weapons and Kamadhenu amongst the cows. I am Kaamdeva, the god of love, amongst all causes for procreation; amongst serpents I am Vasuki.” 

Lord calls out Vajra as a superlative weapon due to the creation of the weapon by the selfless sacrifice of Sage Dadichi to aid Indra to kill an asura. Lord loves the ability of beings to perform selfless sacrifices. Among the cows, Lord refers to kamadhenu as the supreme due to its piousness and selflessness as well. Sexual activity with intent to procreate virtuous offspring to aid in dharma and welfare of the world is associated with kamadeva, god of love and is reflection of Lord’s ultimate glory. Among all serpents, vasuki is the greatest and Lord calls him out as reflection of His glory.
