CC Ādi 4.10 — When the complete Supreme Personality of Godhead descends, all other incarnations of the Lord meet together within Him.
CC Ādi 4.11-12 — Lord Nārāyaṇa, the four primary expansions [Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha], Matsya and the other līlā incarnations, the yuga-avatāras, the manv-antara incarnations and as many other incarnations as there are — all descend in the body of Lord Kṛṣṇa. In this way the complete Supreme Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, appears.
CC Ādi 4.13 — At that time, therefore, Lord Viṣṇu is present in the body of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and Lord Kṛṣṇa kills the demons through Him.
CC Ādi 4.14 — Thus the killing of the demons is but secondary work. I shall now speak of the main reason for the Lord’s incarnation.
CC Ādi 4.15-16 — The Lord’s desire to appear was born from two reasons: the Lord wanted to taste the sweet essence of the mellows of love of God, and He wanted to propagate devotional service in the world on the platform of spontaneous attraction. Thus He is known as supremely jubilant and as the most merciful of all.
CC Ādi 4.17 — [Lord Kṛṣṇa thought:] “All the universe is filled with the conception of My majesty, but love weakened by that sense of majesty does not satisfy Me.
CC Ādi 4.18 — “If one regards Me as the Supreme Lord and himself as a subordinate, I do not become subservient to his love, nor can it control Me.
CC Ādi 4.19 — “In whatever transcendental mellow My devotee worships Me, I reciprocate with him. That is My natural behavior.
