> Forth, as far as I remember there is something in Mahabharata.

 

CC Madhya 9.30:

 

krsir bhu-vacakah sabdo

nas ca nirvrti-vacakah

tayor aikyam param brahma

krsna ity abhidhiyate

krsih-the verbal root krs; bhu-attractive existence; vacakah-signifying;

vacakah-indicating; tayoh-of both; aikyam-amalgamation; param-supreme;

brahma-Absolute Truth; krsnah-Lord Krsna; iti-thus; abhidhiyate-is called.

 

TRANSLATION

" `The word "krs" is the attractive feature of the Lord's existence, and

"na" means spiritual pleasure. When the verb "krs" is added to the affix

"na," it becomes "Krsna," which indicates the Absolute Truth.'
