na —not;  etat —this;  citram —wonderful;  bhagavati —in the Supreme Personality of Godhead;  hi —certainly;  anante —in the unlimited;  jagat-īśvare —the master of the universe;  otam —lengthwise;  protram —breadthwise;  idam —this universe;  yasmin —in whom;  tantuṣu —in the threads;  aṅga —O King;  yathā —as much as;  paṭaḥ —a cloth.
TRANSLATION
“As the thread in a cloth spreads both lengthwise and breadthwise, so everything we see within this cosmic manifestation is directly and indirectly existing in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is not very wonderful for Him.”
PURPORT
This is a verse from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (10.15.35).
TEXT 78
অত্তএব শ্রভু তাঁরে বলে, ‘বড় তাই’ ।
কৃষ্ণ, বলরাম দুই—চৈতন্য, মিতাই ॥ ৭৮ ॥
ataeva prabhu tāṅre bale, ‘baḍa bhāi’ kṛṣṇa, balarāma dui—caitanya, nitāi
SYNONYMS
ataeva —therefore;  prabhu —Lord Caitanya;  tāṅre —unto Viśvarūpa;  bale —says;  baḍa bhāi —elder brother;  kṛṣṇa —Lord Kṛṣṇa;  balarāma —and Baladeva;  dui —two;  caitanya —Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu;  nitāi —and Lord Nityānanda Prabhu.
TRANSLATION
Because Mahā-Saṅkarṣaṇa is the ingredient and efficient cause of the cosmic manifestation, He is present in every detail of it. Lord Caitanya therefore called Him His elder brother. The two brothers are known as Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in the spiritual world, but at the present moment they are Caitanya and Nitāi. Therefore the conclusion is that Nityānanda Prabhu is the original Saṅkarṣaṇa, Baladeva.
