PURPORT
Among the sannydsis of the Sankara-sampradaya there are different names for
brahmacaris. Each sannydsi has some assistants, known as brahmacdris, who are
called by different names according to the names of the sannyds?7. Among such
brahmacaris there are four names: Svaripa, Ananda, Prakasa and Caitanya.
Nityananda Prabhu maintained himself as a brahmacdri; He never took sannydsa. As
a brahmacari His name was Nityananda Svaripa, and therefore the sannydsi under
whom He was living must have been from the tirthas or dSramas because the
assistant brahmacari of such a sannydsi is called Nityananda Svardpa.
