Indian man (1): So Kṛṣṇa is ādi of Viṣṇu . . .
Prabhupāda: Viṣṇu also.
Dr. Patel: Mahā-Viṣṇu.
Prabhupāda: Yes. No Mahā-Viṣṇu is ādi. Mahā-Viṣṇu is kalā-viśeṣa, partial exhibition of Kṛṣṇa. That is said in the Brahma-saṁhitā: yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ, viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśesaḥ (Bs. 5.48). This Mahā-Viṣṇu, from whose breathing innumerable universes are coming, that Mahā-Viṣṇu is kalā-viśeṣa.
- yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya

- govindam ādi-puruṣam tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
- (Bs. 5.48)
