Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Kaṭha Upaniṣad (1.3.15) it is stated:

anādy anantaṃ mahataḥ paraṃ dhruvaṃ nicārya taṃ mṛtyu-mukhāt pramucyate

“He has neither beginning nor end. He is beyond the material world. One who takes shelter of Him escapes the jaws of death.”

In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (3.26.25) it is stated:

sahasra-śirasaṃ sākṣād yam anantaṃ pracakṣate saṅkarṣaṇākhyaṃ puruṣaṃ bhūtendriya-manomayam

“The threefold ahaṅkāra, the source of the gross elements, the senses and the mind, is identical with them because it is their cause. It is known by the name of Saṅkarṣaṇa, who is directly Lord Ananta with a thousand heads.”

One should also refer to Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Tenth Canto, Chapter

Sixty-eight, verse 46. In Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (11.5.32) it is stated:

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṃ tviṣākṛṣṇaṃ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ

“In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions.”
