Verse 1.3.23: This verse says that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. Even though it seems he came after Lord Rama, He still is the svayam bhagavan. It is also said so in the Brahmasamhita (isvarah parama krishna satchitananda vigraha, anadir aadir govinda sarva karana karanam)
Usually, we have a misconception that Krishna is an incarnation, but here it is clearly established that Krishna is the Godhead Himself, and all other incarnations actually expand out of Krishna. He is directly the original Personality of Godhead, and Balaräma is the first plenary manifestation of the Lord. From Baladeva the first phalanx of plenary expansions, Väsudeva, Sankarshana, Aniruddha and Pradyumna, expands. Lord Sri Krishnais Väsudeva, and Baladeva is Sankarsana.
