Now Kṛṣṇa as the object of rati is discussed: Kṛṣṇa, Svayam Bhagavān, is the crest jewel of heroes, in whom all great qualities shine eternally. He is considered the ālambana or support for rati (viṣaya) through His svarūpa and through other forms that He may assume.
Purport
Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is the possessor of inconceivable potencies and qualities of transcendental knowledge and bliss, is the basic cause of ecstatic love. Lord Kṛṣṇa also becomes the reservoir (impetus) of ecstatic love by His different incarnations and expansions.
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
