TRANSLATION

Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Sri Krsna, who has manifested Himself
in five as a devotee, expansion of a devotee, incarnation of a devotee, pure devotee
and devotional energy.

PURPORT

Sri Nityananda Prabhu is the immediate expansion of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
as His brother. He is the personified spiritual bliss of sac-cid-ananda-vigraha. His
body is transcendental and full of ecstasy in devotional service. Sri Caitanya Maha-
prabhu is therefore called bhakta-rupa (the form of a devotee), and Sri Nityananda
Prabhu is called bhakta-svarupa (the expansion of a devotee). Sri Advaita Prabhu, the
incarnation of a devotee, is Visnu-tattva and belongs to the same category. There are
also different types of bhaktas or devotees on the platforms of neutrality, servitude,
friendship, paternity and conjugal love. Devotees like Sri Damodara, Sri Gadadhara
and Sri Ramananda are different energies. This confirms the Vedic sutra,
parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate. All these bhakta subjects taken together constitute
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krsna Himself.
