Dear Krishna Susarla,

I have never heard of this, but as I lack access to the texts of these
traditions, I cannot really say. Perhaps someone else has studied the
writings of these acaryas and is able to provide references, either way?
>>advocating Krishna as avataarin are exclusively Gaudiya texts ...
>
>Actually, I have been collecting evidence from mainstream scriptures
>which say the same thing.
Explicitly claiming the Krishna form to be ontologically prior to Vishnu?
What texts would that be?
Ramanujadasa,
Martin Gansten
