Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa is absolute. Therefore there is no difference between Kṛṣṇa and His name, His form, His pastimes.
- nāma-cintāmaṇi-kṛṣṇaś
- caitanya-rasa-vigrahaḥ
- purnaḥ śuddho nitya-mūkto
- bhinnatvān nāma-nāminoḥ
- (CC Madhya 17.133)
Because nāma and the nāminaḥ, being inseparable, therefore nāma is also purna, nitya, śuddha, mukta.
