Just as the sun's rays in the sky are extended to the mundane
vision, so in the same way the wise and learned devotees always
see the supreme abode of Lord Vishnu. Because those highly
praiseworth and spiritually awake brahmanas are able to see the
spiritual world, they are also able to reveal that supreme abode
of Lord Vishnu. (Rg veda 1.22.20)

Lord Krishna is the color of a new rain cloud, therefore He is
compared to a transcendental cloud full of eternity, bliss, and
cognizance. He is the original supreme person. He is the origin
of all activities and the one and only Lord of all. He is the
worshipful Lord of the best of the demigods, the controller of
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Krishna is without any beginning.
Whatever auspiciousness is found within or beyond this universe the
devotee obtains in Krishna alone. (kRShNa upaniShad, Rg veda)

May Lord Govinda, Acyuta, Ananta Sesa, Vasudeca, and Lord
Vishnu bestow auspiciousness upon us. May Nara-Narayana,
Padmanabha and Purusottama bestow auspiciousness upon us. May
Vishvaksena, the Lord of the universe, Hrsikesha, and Lord
Hari bestow auspiciousness upon us. May Garuda and the son
of Anjana, who is the great devotee of Lord Rama, Hanuman,
bestow auspiciousness upon us. May the great and only Lord
of auspiciousness, Sri Krishna, who is like a transcendental
cloud full of eternity, knowledge, and bliss and who is the Lord
of all the demigods, bestow upon us all prosperity and
auspiciousness. (kRShNa upaniShad, Rg veda)
