PURPORT

According to expert opinion, Balarama, as the chief of the original quadruple
forms, is also the original Sankarsana. Balarama, the first expansion of Kysna,
expands Himself in five forms: (1) Maha-Sanhkarsana, (2) Karanabdhisayi, (3)
Garbhodakaésayt, (4) KstrodakagayT, and (5) Sesa. These five plenary portions are
responsible for both the spiritual and material cosmic manifestations. In these five
forms Lord Balarama assists Lord Krsna in His activities. The first four of these
forms are responsible for the cosmic manifestations, whereas Sesa is responsible for
personal service to the Lord. Sesa is called Ananta, or unlimited, because He assists
the Personality of Godhead in His unlimited expansions by performing an unlimited
variety of services. Sri Balarama is the servitor Godhead who serves Lord Krsna in
all affairs of existence and knowledge. Lord Nityananda Prabhu, who is the same
servitor Godhead, Balarama, performs the same service to Lord Gauranga by
constant association.
