PURPORT
The Laghu-bhagavatamrta (5.383) states:
ata eva puranadau
kecin nara-sakhatmatam mahendranujatam kecit kecit ksirabdhi-sayitam sahasra-sirsatam kecit
kecid vaikuntha-nathatam bruyuh krsnasya munayas tat-tad-vrtty-anugaminah "According to the intimate relationships between Sri Krsna (the primeval Lord) and His devotees, the Puranas describe Him by various names. Sometimes He is called Narayana; sometimes Upendra (Vamana), the younger brother of Indra, King of heaven; and sometimes Ksirodakasayi Visnu. Sometimes He is called the thousand-hooded Sesa Naga, and sometimes the Lord of Vaikuntha."
