- All other acaryas have also confirmed this statement (Krsna is the original Personality of Godhead), and thus there is no chance of not accepting Lord Sri Krsna as the original Personality of Godhead
- All the different incarnations of the Lord indirectly or directly manifested different features, but Lord Krsna, the primeval Lord, exhibited the complete features of Godhead, and thus it is confirmed that He is the source of all other incarnations

- As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, all the Vedic literatures are glorifying the greatness of Lord Sri Krsna. Here it is confirmed in the Bhagavatam also

- Brahmaji clears up the wrong impression held by the less intelligent and affirms that he creates the universal variegatedness after the potential creation by the glaring effulgence of Lord Sri Krsna
- By the grace of Krsna and His devotee, one’s life can change. This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam by the words jahati bandham and sudhyanti

- Even though the words (of the Bhagavad-gita) were imperfectly pronounced, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Krsna Himself, did not think this very serious. Rather, the Lord was pleased by the bhava (devotion). In Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 1.5.11) this is confirmed
F
- First the tan-matra sound is created and then the sky, and in this verse (SB 2.5.25) it is confirmed that actually it is so, but sound is the subtle form of the sky, and the distinction is like that between the seer and the seen

- He (Pariksit) wished to accept the incarnation of the Lord by symptoms mentioned in the Vedic literatures and confirmed by an acarya like Sukadeva Gosvami

- Here (in SB 3.21.34) it is also confirmed that the path of devotional service is worshiped by liberated persons, not the conditioned souls. The conditioned soul cannot understand the devotional service of the Lord
- Here (in SB 3.29.14) the same fact is confirmed by Lord Kapila: one who is situated in pure devotional service is transcendentally situated, as is the Lord. Just as the Lord is unaffected by influence of the material modes, so too are His pure devotees
- Here (SB 3.15.47) it is confirmed that all the variegatedness of the absolute platform is constituted of suddha-sattva, pure goodness. In the material world, any quality - goodness, passion or ignorance - is contaminated
I

- In the Bhagavad-gita Lord Sri Krsna affirms that less intelligent persons mistake Him to be an ordinary man like us, and thus they deride Him. The same is confirmed herein (SB 1.8.19) by Queen Kunti
- In the Brahma-samhita (BS 5.38), it is said that all the universes and the heads of them (the Brahmas) exist only for the duration of His (God's) breathing period. The same is confirmed here

- In two or three places the Bhagavatam has confirmed that Aghasura attained sarupya-mukti. One may then argue, How is it that he mixed with the Brahman effulgence?

- It is stated in Bhagavad-gita that one realizes this (that Krsna is everything) after many, many births. This is also confirmed in this verse (SB 4.28.39) with the words divyam varsa-satam one hundred years according to the calculations of the demigods
- It is stated that Krsna is the original cause of the material manifestation. Srimad-Bhagavatam also confirms this. The ingredients of the material manifestation are separated energies of the Lord
- "It is the nature of highly elevated devotees to see Krsna in everything," Lord Caitanya replied. "Whenever they see anything, they do not see the form of that particular thing. They see Krsna." This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam - SB 11.2.45
M
- Maharaja Pariksit inquired from the great and learned sage Sukadeva Gosvami about the different activities of such incarnations so that the incarnation of the Lord might be confirmed by His activities in the authoritative scriptures

- Only by devotional service can one know that the ultimate truth is the Personality of Godhead and that Brahman and Paramatma are only His partial features. This is confirmed in this verse (SB 3.6.40) by the great sage Maitreya

- Prahlada further confirms that if one's mind is always absorbed in thought of Krsna, that very qualification will purify one and keep one purified always

- Sripada Nrsimha-vallabha Gosvami, quoting from many authorized scriptures, he has proved that in the matter of engaging oneself in the devotional service, there is no check, there is no impediment. That is confirmed in the SB: ahaituky apratihata
T
- That religion was manifested from the place where the Personality of Godhead is personally situated is very significant because religion means devotional service to the Personality of Godhead, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gita as well as the Bhagavatam
- That such a (saintly) person gradually becomes liberated and enters the kingdom of God is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam, Fifth Canto, Fifth Chapter, verse 2
- The activities of the incarnation are the marginal features. This is confirmed in the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 1.1.1) where the features of an avatara are nicely described
- The Bhagavatam affirms that any person who is fully in Krsna consciousness, or devotional service of the Lord, has all the good qualities of the great sages, whereas a person who is not so transcendentally situated has no good qualifications. BG 1972 purp

- The great devotee Prahlada Maharaja confirms that people in general do not know that their ultimate center of attraction is Visnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And in the Visnu category, Sri Krsna is the supreme attraction

- The institution of four varnas and four asramas is confirmed herewith (in SB 3.21.52-54) to be bhagavad-racita, which means "designed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead." In Bhagavad-gita 4.13 this is also confirmed: catur-varnyam maya srstam

- The Mayavada conception that because the Absolute Truth is everything He must be formless is rejected here. Rather, it is confirmed that the Absolute Truth has form, and yet He is all-pervading. Nothing is independent of Him
- The pasandis do not accept that the potency of the holy name of Krsna is so great that one can be delivered simply by chanting the holy name, although this is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 12.3.51): kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta-sangah param vrajet
- The pure devotee is never unhappy in any condition of life. This is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam - SB 6.17.28
- The same concept is confirmed here (in SB 3.25.2). Na hy asya varsmanah pumsam: amongst the living entities, no one can surpass the Supreme Person
- The same fact is confirmed here (in SB 3.28.17): He (God) is always anxious to show favor to the devotees
- The seeing of oneself is described in the Vedic literatures, and it is confirmed in the SB that one has to see oneself and know what he is. As Kapiladeva explains to His mother, this "seeing" can be done by hearing from the proper authoritative source
- The source of birth of the cosmic manifestation, or mahat-tattva, is the Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed throughout Srimad-Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad-gita
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam confirms that it is not possible for one to become liberated by cultivation of empiric philosophical speculation. Simply knowing that one is not matter but spirit soul, or Brahman, does not purify one's intelligence
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam confirms that material enjoyment is based upon nothing more than the sexual combination of man and woman
- The statement in Bhagavad-gita that persons who worship the demigods have lost their intelligence is confirmed in this verse - in SB 3.32.4
- The statement of the Bhagavad-gita, yad gatva na nivartante tad dhama paramam mama, is also confirmed herewith. Param means transcendental Brahman. Therefore, the abode of the Lord is also Brahman, nondifferent from the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be understood by any means except bhakti. The Lord confirms this in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 11.14.21). Bhaktyaham ekaya grahyah: "only by executing devotional service can one appreciate Me
- The symptoms of the highest order of devotional life were observed by Vidura, an experienced devotee of the Lord, and he confirmed Uddhava's perfectional stage of love of Godhead

- The Vedic hymns also confirm this: om tad visnoh paramam padam. The goal of life is to understand Visnu. The Bhagavatam also confirms this elsewhere
- The Vedic hymns confirm that the Lord is the Supreme Person amongst all personalities
- The word isvaranam refers to all the Personalities of Godhead. As stated in BS 5.38: ramadi-murtisu kala-niyamena tisthan. In the SB it is confirmed that all the incarnations are partial expansions, or kala, of the SPG. However, Krsna is the original SPG
- The word rantidevanuvartinah indicates that Rantideva's officers, friends, relatives and subjects all became first-class Vaisnavas by his association. In other words, Rantideva is confirmed herein (SB 9.21.18) to be a first-class devotee
- These Vedic versions corroborate the one of the Bhagavatam which is further confirmed by Sukadeva Gosvami, who affirms that the truth was disclosed by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krsna, Vasudeva, to Brahma the first authority on the Vedas
- This (chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra can relieve one from sinful reactions) is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 12.3.51): kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta-sangah. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has also taught us this. While passing on the road, He used to chant
- This (Lord Brahma was able to hear the Lord's words within himself) is confirmed in the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 1.1.1): tene brahma hrda ya adi-kavaye. Adi-kavi is Lord Brahma
- This (SB 4.31.16) confirms the philosophy of acintya-bhedabheda-tattva ("simultaneously one and different") propounded by Lord Sri Caitanya. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is simultaneously different and nondifferent from this cosmic manifestation
- This (SB 7.15.74) is a confirmation of the Krsna consciousness movement
- This (that in Kali yuga the Lord appears not directly but in disguise) is confirmed in SB 7.9.38: In the Age of Kali, O Mahapurusa, You sometimes appear in a covered incarnation. Therefore You are known as Triyuga - one who appears in only three yugas
- This fact is inconceivable to our present imperfect senses. Caitanya defined His theory of philosophy as acintya (inconceivable) and as confirmed in the BG as well as in the SB, Caitanya's acintya-bhedabheda-tattva is the philosophy of the Absolute Truth
- This form (two-handed or four-handed), which is cent percent spiritual, is the svarupa of the living being, and all the living beings who participated on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra, on both sides, attained their svarupa, as confirmed by Bhismadeva
- This is confirmed herein (SB 4.7.36) by the wife of Daksa: "Without Your presence (Lord Visnu) , the grandeur of this sacrificial ceremony is useless, just as a body without the head, however decorated it may be, is useless
- This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita and here in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. That third-class devotees can also imperceptibly achieve liberation is accepted in all Vedic literatures

- This is confirmed in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, "If Hari, the Supreme Lord, is worshiped, adored and loved by a person, it should be understood that the person has finished all kinds of austerities, penances and similar processes for self realization"
- This is proof that such people are descendants of monkeys, as confirmed by Darwin. In this verse it is therefore clearly stated: yatha vanara jateu
- This should be our motto of life, that you should act if Krsna is pleased. This is good work. That is confirmed in many places in Srimad-Bhagavatam
- This statement by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 1.2.11): Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramatma or Bhagavan
- This verse (SB 2.3.17) indirectly confirms the greater importance of utilizing the human form of life to realize our lost relationship with the Supreme Lord by acceleration of devotional service
- This verse (SB 3.19.31) confirms the statement in Bhagavad-gita that the Lord appears as He is from His transcendental abode for the sake of killing the miscreants and saving the devotees
- This verse (SB 5.14.44) confirms Krsna's all-attractiveness. Maharaja Bharata was so attracted to Krsna that he gave up all his material possessions. Generally materialistic people are attracted by such possessions
- This verse gives evidence confirming the statement of Bhagavad-gita that the orders of society - brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra - are calculated in terms of qualities and activities - guna-karma-vibhagasah - BG 4.13

- Under the direction of the spiritual master, one must cultivate bhakti-yoga (SB 7.5.23). Then, even within this material world, although the Lord is not visible, a devotee can see Him. This is confirmed in BG 18.55 and in SB 11.14.21
- Unless one practices devotional service himself, he cannot teach it to others. This conclusion is indeed confirmed throughout the Gita and Bhagavatam

- Vasudeva, or Lord Sri Krsna, is the original Supreme Person, as now confirmed by a mahajana, and therefore both the neophytes and the pure devotees must try to follow in his footsteps. That is the way of the devotional line
- Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyah (BG 15.15). By studying the Vedic literature, one should understand Krsna. As confirmed here (in SB 8.3.15), sarvagamamnaya-maharnavaya. He is the ocean, and all Vedic knowledge flows toward Him
W
- When He (Krsna) referred to the unbearable heaviness on the earth in connection with the Yadu dynasty, He was referring to the burden of their separation. Srila Jiva Gosvami confirms this inference
- When, however, deluded living entities become situated in Krsna consciousness, it is to be understood that they are on the path of liberation, as confirmed in the Bhagavatam: muktir hitvanyatha rupam svarupena vyavasthitih. BG 1972 purports
