PURPORT

The Laghu-bhagavatamrta states:

ataeva puranadau kecin nara-sakhatmatam
mahendranujatam kecit kecit ksirabdhi-sayitam

sahasra-sirsatam kecit kecid vaikuntha-nathatam
bruyuh krsnasya munayas tat-tad-vrtty-anugaminah
(Laghu-bhagavatamrta 5.383)

"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."

[Adi 2.114-1957]
