> Krsna's supreme ontological position is elaborately defined in

> Sruti references:

>

> tad visnoh paramam padam sada pasyanti surayah

> diviva caksur atatam visnor yat paramam padam

>

> The wise continuously see the highest form of Visnu. This supreme

> form, perceived with spiritual eyes, is Krsna. (Rg Veda 1.22.23)

 

This verse is from the Veda, but not Krsna's name but Visnu's name is

mentioned.

 

> apasyam gopam anipadyamana ma ca para ca pathibhis carantam

> sa sadhricih sa visucir vasana avarirvati bhuvanesv antah

> I saw a cowherd. He never falls from his position; sometimes he is

> near, and some times far, wandering on various paths. He is a friend,

> decorated with a variety of clothes. He comes again and again to the

> material world. (Rg Veda 1.22.164 sukta 31)

 

This verse is from the Veda, but the name Krsna is not mentioned directly.

 

The other verses below are not from the 4 Vedas but from the Upanisadas.
