Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures
Kṛṣṇa is accepted the Supreme Personality of Godhead by all the śāstras. Vyāsadeva, He writes, kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam [SB 1.3.28]. In the Brahma-saṁhitā, Brahmā writes, īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ [Bs. 5.1]. Kṛṣṇa personally says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat [Bg. 7.7]. Arjuna, who heard Bhagavad-gītā, he accepts.

What is the meaning of Bhagavān, He has shown. Still, we are so unfortunate, we cannot accept. Because we are not free from the contamination.Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures
