PURPORT
Viṣaya  and  āśraya  are two very significant words relating to the reciprocation between Kṛṣṇa and His devotee. The devotee is called the  āśraya , and his beloved, Kṛṣṇa, is the  viṣaya . Different ingredients are involved in the exchange of love between the  āśraya  and  viṣaya , which are known as  vibhāva ,  anubhāva ,  sāttvika  and  vyabhicārī .  Vibhāva  is divided into the two categories  ālambana  and  uddīpana .  Ālambana  may be further divided into  āśraya  and  viṣaya . In the loving affairs of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, Rādhārāṇī is the  āśraya  feature and Kṛṣṇa the  viṣaya . The transcendental consciousness of the Lord tells Him, “I am Kṛṣṇa, and I experience pleasure as the  viṣaya . The pleasure enjoyed by Rādhārāṇī, the  āśraya , is many times greater than the pleasure I feel.” Therefore, to feel the pleasure of the  āśraya  category, Lord Kṛṣṇa appeared as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
