Bhagavad Gita 3.10

सहयज्ञाः प्रजाः सृष्ट्वा पुरोवाच प्रजापतिः।अनेन प्रसविष्यध्वमेष वोऽस्त्विष्टकामधुक्॥

sahayajñāḥ prajāḥ sṛṣṭvā purovāca prajāpatiḥ |anena prasaviṣyadhvameṣa vo'stviṣṭakāmadhuk ||

The Creator, having in the beginning created mankind together with sacrifice, said, "By this shall you propagate; let this be the milch cow of your desires—the cow that yields all the desired objects."

In the beginning, when God created all beings through the sacrifice of Himself, He said to them: "You can procreate through sacrifice, and it shall satisfy all your desires."
