This text from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (4.3.23), spoken by Lord Åšiva when he condemned Daká¹£a, the father of SatÄ«, as an opponent of Viṣṇu, confirms beyond a doubt that Lord Kṛṣṇa, His name, His fame, His qualities and everything in connection with His paraphernalia exist in the sandhinÄ«-Å›akti of the Lord’s internal potency.
