In the Bhagavata Purana, Krishna is described to be the Para-Vasudeva:[9]
vāsudeva-parā vedā
vāsudeva-parā makhāḥ
vāsudeva-parā yogā
vāsudeva-parāḥ kriyāḥ
vāsudeva-paraṁ jñānaṁ
vāsudeva-paraṁ tapaḥ
vāsudeva-paro dharmo
vāsudeva-parā gatiḥ
In the revealed scriptures, the ultimate object of knowledge is Krishna, the Supreme God. The purpose of performing sacrifice is to please him. Yoga is for realising him. All fruitive activities are ultimately rewarded by only him. He is supreme knowledge, and all severe austerities are performed to know him. Religion is rendering loving service unto him. He is the supreme goal of life.— Verse 1.2.28-29
