(1) From the Caitanya Upaniṣad (5): gauraḥ sarvātmā mahā-puruṣo mahātmā mahā-yogī tri-guṇātītaḥ sattva-rūpo bhaktiṁ loke kāśyati. "Lord Gaura, who is the all-pervading Supersoul, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears as a great saint and powerful mystic who is above the three modes of nature and is the emblem of transcendental activity. He disseminates the cult of devotion throughout the world."
(2) From the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (6.7 and 3.12):
- tam īśvarāṇāṁ paramaṁ maheśvaraṁ
- taṁ devatānāṁ paramaṁ ca daivatam
- patiṁ patīnāṁ paramaṁ parastād
- vidāma devaṁ bhuvaneśam īḍyam
"O Supreme Lord, You are the Supreme Maheśvara, the worshipable Deity of all the demigods and the Supreme Lord of all lords. You are the controller of all controllers, the Personality of Godhead, the Lord of everything worshipable."
- mahān prabhur vai puruṣaḥ
- sattvasyaiṣa pravartakaḥ
- su-nirmalām imāṁ prāptim
- īśāno jyotir avyayaḥ
"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is Mahāprabhu, who disseminates transcendental enlightenment. Just to be in touch with Him is to be in contact with the indestructible brahmajyoti."
(3) From the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad (3.1.3):
- yadā paśyaḥ paśyate rukma-varṇaṁ
- kartāram īśaṁ puruṣaṁ brahma-yonim
"One who sees that golden-colored Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Lord, the supreme actor, who is the source of the Supreme Brahman, is liberated."
(4) From Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.5.33–34 and 7.9.38):
- dhyeyaṁ sadā paribhava-ghnam abhīṣṭa-dohaṁ
- tīrthāspadaṁ śiva-viriñci-nutaṁ śaraṇyam
- bhṛtyārti-haṁ praṇata-pāla-bhavābdhi-potaṁ
- vande mahā-puruṣa te caraṇāravindam
"We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Him, the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He destroys insults to His devotees. He removes the distresses of His devotees and satisfies their desires. He, the abode of all holy places and the shelter of all sages, is worshipable by Lord Śiva and Lord Brahmā. He is the boat of the demigods for crossing the ocean of birth and death."
- tyaktvā sudustyaja-surepsita-rājya-lakṣmīṁ
- dharmiṣṭha ārya-vacasā yad agād araṇyam
- māyā-mṛgaṁ dayitayepsitam anvadhāvad
- vande mahā-puruṣa te caraṇāravindam
- (SB 11.5.34)
"We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He left His householder life, leaving aside His eternal consort, whom even the denizens of heaven adore. He went into the forest to deliver the fallen souls, who are put into illusion by material energy."
Prahlāda said:
- itthaṁ nṛ-tiryag-ṛṣi-deva jhaṣāvatārair
- lokān vibhāvayasi haṁsi jagat-pratīpān
- dharmaṁ mahā-puruṣa pāsi yugānuvṛttaṁ
- channaḥ kalau yad abhavas tri-yugo ’tha sa tvam
"My Lord, You kill all the enemies of the world in Your multifarious incarnations in the families of men, animals, demigods, ṛṣis, aquatics and so on. Thus You illuminate the worlds with transcendental knowledge. In the Age of Kali, O Mahāpuruṣa, You sometimes appear in a covered incarnation. Therefore You are known as Tri-yuga (one who appears in only three yugas)."
(5) From the Kṛṣṇa-yāmala-tantra: puṇya-kṣetre nava-dvīpe bhaviṣyāmi śacī-sutaḥ. "I shall appear in the holy land of Navadvīpa as the son of Śacī-devī."
(6) From the Vāyu Purāṇa: kalau saṅkīrtanārambhe bhaviṣyāmi śacī-sutaḥ. "In the Age of Kali when the saṅkīrtana movement is inaugurated, I shall descend as the son of Śacī-devī."
(7) From the Brahma-yāmala-tantra:
- atha vāhaṁ dharādhāme
- bhūtvā mad-bhakta-rūpa-dhṛk
- māyāyāṁ ca bhaviṣyāmi
- kalau saṅkīrtanāgame
"Sometimes I personally appear on the surface of the world in the garb of a devotee. Specifically, I appear as the son of Śacī in Kali-yuga to start the saṅkīrtana movement."
(8) From the Ananta-saṁhitā:
- ya eva bhagavān kṛṣṇo
- rādhikā-prāṇa-vallabhaḥ
- sṛṣṭy ādau sa jagan-nātho
- gaura āsīn maheśvari
