स श्रीकृष्ण: परंब्रह्म भगवान् पुरु़षोत्तम: ।
उपास्य ईष्टदेवो न: सर्वाविर्भाकारणम् ॥ 108 ॥
અને તે ઈશ્વર તે ક્યા, તો પરબ્રહ્મ પુરુષોત્તમ એવા જે શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાન તે ઈશ્વર છે. અને તે શ્રીકૃષ્ણ જે તે આપણા ઇષ્ટદેવ છે, ને ઉપાસના કરવા યોગ્ય છે અને સર્વ અવતારના કારણ છે. ॥ 108 ॥

Commentary
Mahapurush is the cause of the creation of infinite universes, their stability and their destruction. He has been described as Jeev, Nar, Akshar and Brahm i.e. Mahapurush has been mentioned as first Brahm. Saakar i.e. personal form of Akshar which is higher than Mahapurush Brahm has also been described as Brahm by Shri Hari in 'Satsangijeevan'. This Akshar is Saakar i.e. with definite divine form. Beyond this Saakar Akshar Brahm, the third Akshar Brahm consists of the clusters of the luminous brilliance of Shriji Maharaj. This Brahm has been mentioned as pure Chaitanya Brahm in Vachanamrit. Shriji Maharaj is the cause of this Brahm which is formed by the clusters of luminous brilliance. He is supporting it and residing in it. Therefore, He is considered as Parbrahm i.e. the Ultimate Supreme Being. Moreover, Parbrahm is superior to Brahm in form, beauty, virtues and splendour etc. Thus, Shriji Maharaj, who is Parbrahm, is the cause of Triputi (triple)Brahm. And He is the Lord of all the Muktas and Nitya Muktas, giver of all the happiness and all controller. Therefore, He is described as the Superme God. And the divine form of Shri Hari is always full of eternal bliss and He attracts His absolute devotees towards His divine form. Moreover, 'Shri' means He is full of grace, which makes His Muktas blissful, therefore He is called Shri Krishna. And 'Bhag' means He who is full of divine virtues and infinite splendour of God. This is the characteristic of 'Bhagwan' i.e. God. Moreover, Shri Hari has confirmed that He has been mentioned as Shri Krishna by saying: I am the cause of all the incarnations like Ram, Krishna etc. I am the Ultimate Supreme God Shri Swaminarayan, I have been mentioned as 'Anadi Shri Krishna' by the scriptures of Swaminarayan sect. Shri Hari has mentioned in Harivakyasudhasindhu that He has been mentioned as 'Bhagwan' by saying: I, Shri Swaminarayan Bhagwan, am the only cause of the creation of these infinite universes, their stability and their destruction; there is no other Bhagwan except Me; I am the only ultimate Supreme God.
Moreover, Shri Hari Sahajanand Swami Mahaprabhu is also the cause of Nar-Narayan Bhagwan. This has been mentioned in Shri Hari Digvijay. Here Shriji Maharaj says to Nar-Narayan Dev: The earth is suffering due to irreligiousness, therefore, I myself will appear on earth. But, none can know about My appearance. Therefore, here in Badrikashram, under the 'pretext of the curse' of Durvaasa, in your disguise i.e. by informing the devotees that Nar-Narayan would appear, I will fulfill My intention in a short time. i.e. I will liberate My devotees by giving them My ultimate knowledge. That is why O' Nar-Narayan! You should mention prominently that you are going to appear. And the fact that I am going to appear from the Akshardham, should be concealed i.e. My Muktas are going to explain it gradually. Thus, Shri Hariji is the Supreme God!
