According to the intimate relationships between Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the primeval Lord, and His devotees, the Purāṇas describe Him by various names. Sometimes He is called Nārāyaṇa; sometimes Upendra (Vāmana), the younger brother of Indra, King of heaven; and sometimes Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. Sometimes He is called the thousand-hooded Śeṣa Nāga, and sometimes the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha.
CC Adi 2.114, Translation and Purport: Some say that Kṛṣṇa is the incarnation of Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. None of these statements is impossible; each is as correct as the others.
The Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta (5.383) states:
- ata evā purāṇādau kecin nara-sakhātmatām
- mahendrānujatāṁ kecit kecit kṣīrābdhi-śāyitām
- sahasra-śīrṣatāṁ kecit kecid vaikuṇṭha-nāthatām
- brūyuḥ kṛṣṇasya munayas tat-tad-vṛtty-anugāminaḥ
