present.  Kṛṣṇa-varṇam tviṣākṛṣṇam : although Caitanya Mahāprabhu appears without  kṛṣṇa , or a blackish color, He is understood to be Kṛṣṇa Himself.  Idānīṁ kṛṣṇatāṁ gataḥ . The same original Kṛṣṇa who appears in different  varṇas  has now appeared. The word  āsan  indicates that He is always present. Whenever the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears in His full feature, He is understood to be  kṛṣṇa-varṇam , although He appears in different colors. Prahlāda Mahārāja states that Caitanya Mahāprabhu is  channa ; that is, although He is Kṛṣṇa, He is covered by a yellow color. Thus the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas accept the conclusion that although Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared in  pīta  color, He is Kṛṣṇa.
kṛṣṇa-varṇam tviṣākṛṣṇam sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ (Bhāg. 11.5.32)
TEXT 14
प्रागयं वसुदेवस्य कविजातस्तवात्मजः ।   वासुदेव इति श्रीमानभिज्ञाः सम्प्रचक्षते ॥१४॥
prāg ayam vasudevasya kvacij jātas tavātmajaḥ vāsudeva iti śrīmān abhijñāḥ sampracakṣate
prāk—before; ayam—this child; vasudevasya—of Vasudeva; kvacit—sometimes; jātaḥ—was born; tava—your; ātmajaḥ—Kṛṣṇa, who has taken birth as your child; vāsudevaḥ—therefore He may be given the name Vāsudeva; iti—thus; śrīmān—very beautiful; abhijñāḥ—those who are learned; sampracakṣate—also say that Kṛṣṇa is Vāsudeva.
TRANSLATION
For many reasons, this beautiful son of yours sometimes appeared previously as the son of Vasudeva. Therefore, those who are learned sometimes call this child Vāsudeva.
