TRANSLATION
Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu bestows His causeless mercy upon His devotees in three features: His own direct appearance [sākṣāt], His prowess within someone He empowers [āveśa], and His manifestation [āvirbhāva].
PURPORT
The  sākṣāt  feature of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is His personal presence.  Āveśa  refers to invested power, like that invested in Nakula Brahmacārī.  Āvirbhāva  is a manifestation of the Lord that appears even though He is personally not present. For example, Śrī Śacīmātā offered foodstuffs at home to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu although He was far away in Jagannātha Purī, and when she opened her eyes after offering the foodstuffs she saw that they had actually been eaten by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Similarly, Śrīvāsa Thākura performed  saṅkīrtana , and everyone felt the presence of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu even in His absence. This is another example of  āvirbhāva .
