keho kahe, kṛṣṇa kṣīroda-Å›ÄyÄ« avatÄra
asambhava nahe, satya vacana sabÄra
keho - someone; kahe - says; kṛṣṇa - Lord Kṛṣṇa; kṣīroda-Å›ÄyÄ« - KṣīrodakaÅ›ÄyÄ« Viṣṇu; avatÄra - incarnation; asambhava - impossible; nahe - is not; satya - true; vacana - speeches; sabÄra - of all.
Some say that Kṛṣṇa is the incarnation of KṣīrodakaÅ›ÄyÄ« Viṣṇu. None of these statements is impossible; each is as correct as the others.
The Laghu-bhÄgavatÄmá¹›ta (5.383) states:
ata evÄ purÄṇÄdau kecin nara-sakhÄtmatÄm
mahendrÄnujatÄá¹ kecit kecit kṣīrÄbdhi-Å›ÄyitÄm
sahasra-śīrá¹£atÄá¹ kecit kecid vaikuṇá¹ha-nÄthatÄm
brÅ«yuḥ kṛṣṇasya munayas tat-tad-vá¹›tty-anugÄminaḥ
“According to the intimate relationships between ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, the primeval Lord, and His devotees, the PurÄṇas describe Him by various names. Sometimes He is called NÄrÄyaṇa; sometimes Upendra (VÄmana), the younger brother of Indra, King of heaven; and sometimes KṣīrodakaÅ›ÄyÄ« Viṣṇu. Sometimes He is called the thousand-hooded Åšeá¹£a NÄga, and sometimes the Lord of Vaikuṇá¹ha.â€
