44 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 10, Ch. 1
Brahma-samhita (5.1), iSvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-Génanda-
vigrahah: “Krsna, known as Govinda, is the supreme controller. He has
an eternal, blissful, spiritual body.” No one is equal to or greater than
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore He is described here
by many words: jagannatha, deva-deva, vrsdkapi and purusa. The
supremacy of Lord Visnu is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (10.12) in
this statement by Arjuna:
param brahma param dhéma
pavitram paramam bhavan
purusam sasvatam divyam
ddi-devam ajam vibhum
“You are the Supreme Brahman, the ultimate, the supreme abode and
purifier, the Absolute Truth and the eternal divine person. You are the
primal God, transcendental and original, and You are the unborn and all-
pervading beauty.” Krsna is Gdi-purusa, the original Personality of God-
head (govindam ddi-purusam tam aham bhajami). Visnu is a plenary
expansion of Lord Krsna, and all the visnu-tattvas are paramesvara,
deva-deva.
