SB 10.23.48-49

 
desah kalah prthag dravyam
 mantra-tantrartvijo ’gnayah
devata yajamanas ca
 kratur dharmas ca yan-mayah
 
sa eva bhagavan saksad
 visnur yogesvaresvarah
jato yadusv ity asrnma
 hy api mudha na vidmahe
 
Translation: 
 
All the aspects of sacrifice — the auspicious place and time, the various items of paraphernalia, the Vedic hymns, the prescribed rituals, the priests and sacrificial fires, the demigods, the patron of the sacrifice, the sacrificial offering and the pious results obtained — all are simply manifestations of His opulences. Yet even though we had heard that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu, the Lord of all mystic controllers, had taken birth in the Yadu dynasty, we were so foolish that we could not recognize Sri Krsna to be none other than Him.
