[91]. That it was only at a very late date that this identification took place is evident from the fact that it is not once mentioned in the early literature. Even in two of the Vishnu Upanishads of the Atharva Veda, the Atmabodha, and the Nārāyana, Krishna is referred to as a mere man. Apart from the Gītā and the Mahābhārata, the earliest reference to him as God incarnate is in the Gopālatāpanīyopanishad. See Weber, I. L., 169; and cf. Garbe, 18-19, 85; Bose, H. C., Vol. I, 25-26; Dutt, C. A. I., Vol. II, 191.
