Kṛṣṇa identifies Himself in power, nutrition, and creation. Among weapons, He is the Vajra (Thunderbolt) of Indra, which is unbreakable and made of the bones of a great sage. Among cows, He is the Kāmadhuk (Surabhi), the miraculous cow that fulfills all desires. He is also Kandarpa (the god of love) and Vāsuki (the king of serpents). Kandarpa represents the force of attraction that ensures the continuation of the species. Vāsuki is the great serpent used to churn the ocean of milk. Kṛṣṇa is the energy behind both destruction (the Vajra) and creation (Kandarpa). He is also the nourishment provided by the mother cow. These examples show that God is present in the biological drives of life and the physical forces of nature. Whether it is the power of a storm or the instinct of reproduction, it is all Kṛṣṇa’s energy at work. He is the potency in the weapon and the fertility in the seed.
