Vasuki was second eldest son of Naagmaata Kadru and was known for his deadlist poison,,,,after sheshnag left,Vasuki took responsibility as Naagraj,,,after many years he also went in penance of Shiva and Shivji accepted his bhakti....and give him place in his neck....but then afterwards Shiva tols Vasuki to return to Naaglok and fulfill responsibility as Naagraj bcz after sheshnag and Vasuki both left... there is no one that powerful to take up responsibility as Naagraj.....Shivji told him that tum mere kanth ki shobha badhaoge as my ornament.But at the same time I want you to take care of naaglok too as Sheshnag can't return now as he is doing Seva of Vishnu by making bed for Vishnu over which he lies alongwith Devi Lakshmi sitting there and doing Suraksha by forming chatra with his hood over Vishnu....So Vasuki is said Naagraj as he is taking care of Naaglok....
Now in SR also... sulochana was called Dattak putri by Vasuki in that episode which means Adopted Daughter which is understood as she is daughter of Sheshnag only but then after sheshnag left, she was in care of Vasuki....
Sheshnag is called Anantshesh or Adi shesh as infinite and forever...Shesh means whatever left...after pralay, everything destroyed but Sheshnag is left and support shrishti on his hood....so yes he was infinitely powerful.
