Chapter 4 of Svargarohana Parva is also significant for claiming Krishna in the form of Brahman. In Anushasana Parva, Krishna was declared to be a form Vishnu and of Shiva. This synonymous listing of various forms of Krishna as one, in Mahabharata, has led to the theory that all gods mentioned in Vedic literature are different forms of one god. This is a well accepted theory as other ancient scriptures describe Sri Vishnu as supreme while Brahma and Shiva are clearly established as lesser deities in standard texts.
