Actually the Gita 10.42 also confirms this: ekaamshena sthito jagat. Krishna

says that a part of Him supports the universe. That "part" is then

described in detail in the beginning of next chapter as the universal form

which both

Srila Baladeva Vidyabhusana and Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti identify as the

Purusa of Purusa-sukta, i.e. Maha-Vishnu. Therefore, Maha-Vishnu is a part of

Krishna.

The Naradiya Purana also mentions about Maha Vishnu coming from

Krishna. It may well be claimed to be an interpolation by other

sampradayas, but one thing which intigues me is, Gaudiyas have been a

very small group based in Vraja and I cannot imagine they influencing

so many of the the sastras if the interpolation claims are anything to

go by.
