This shloka highlights that Shri Krishna is the supreme Lord, the source of all creation, and the ultimate cause of everything that exists. He is the embodiment of pure consciousness, bliss, and eternal knowledge, and his divine form is beyond the material realm.
Furthermore, the Shiva Purana also recognizes Shri Krishna as the supreme Lord. In chapter 4.13.4, it is stated that:

शिव पुराण सर्ग 4, अध्याय 13, श्लोक 4
कृष्णो वै परमं देवम् सर्व कारणाम् | निर्गुणं निरञ्जनं शान्तम् नित्यं शुद्धबुद्ध मुक्तं || ४ ||
This shloka describes Shri Krishna as the ultimate deity, who is the cause of all causes and the origin of all existence. He is beyond the material qualities, pure and unblemished, and his divine nature is characterized by eternal peace, purity, and liberation.
Similarly, the Bhagavata Purana also emphasizes Shri Krishna's divinity and supremacy. In 1.3.28 it states:
Śrīmad Bhagvatam 1.3.20
श्रीमद्भागवतम् महा पुराण सर्ग 1, अध्याय 3, श्लोक 28
ŚB 1.3.28

This shloka highlights that Shri Krishna is the original and ultimate source of all incarnations and divine personalities. He is the embodiment of the highest truth, knowledge, and bliss, and his divine presence destroys all negative influences and restores harmony and peace in the world.
