Of the Vrishnis or His apparent lineage, Lord Krishnas vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence is Vasudeva which means the son of Vasudeva. It would not be acceptable for Lord Krishna to be naming Himself because He is describing His vibhuti and so the only other son of Vasudeva is Balarama who is Lord Krishnas first and foremost expansion and who expands as all the other incarnations with the exception of Narayana the ruler of all the spiritual planets in the spiritual realm of Vaikuntha who is Lord Krishnas direct expansion. Of holy sages or those who are knowledgeable of all the Vedic scriptures Lord Krishnas vibhuti is Vyasadeva who divided the one Veda into four, wrote the Puranas and Brahma Sutras and compiled the historical treatise Mahabharata. Of exalted seers or those who are omniscient His vibhuti is Usanah the son of Brgu who is known as Sukracarya the guru of the asuras or those born in demonic lines.
Enveloping everything or containing all, abiding in all and the goal of all Lord Krishna is known as Vasu, Being the God of all gods He is known as deva. Thus He is Vasudeva and a vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence of Lord Krishna. The Moksa Dharma scripture states: Enveloping all creation He illuminates it just like the rays of the sun as the indwelling monitor within all living entities, He is therefore known as Vasudeva. Being especially in all things as the best of them, His vibhuti is Vyasa. The Agniveshya section states: He is Vyasa. Vy means the best. He is above, He is below, He is in the east, He is in the west, He is in the north and He is in the south. Whatever we see or hear in any direction externally or internally in all dimensions is already established by the Supreme Lord.
The Vrishni lineage descends from King Yayati and Queen Devayani from which Vasudeva is the sixth generation of descendants. Lord Krishnas vibhuti or divine, transcendental opulence cannot be referring to Himself as the son of Vasudeva because He is describing His vibhuti. The only other son of Vasudeva is Balarama who is Lord Krishnas first expansion and manifests every incarnation including Vishnu. So Balarama is the vibhuti referred to here. Of sages or those who have realised the ultimate truth His vibhuti is Vedavyasa. Kavayah are those seers who are omniscient.
