12 Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta

the Visnu-tattva servitors and the jiva-tattva servitors. The jiva-tattva servitor, the
spiritual master, is actually the servitor God. As explained in previous verses, in the
absolute world there are no such differences, yet one must observe these differences
in order to distinguish the Supreme from His subordinates.

SYNONYMS

ei tina tattva—all three of these truths; sarva-aradhya—worshipable by all living
entities; kari mani—accepting such; caturtha—fourth; ye—who is; bhakta-tattva—in

TRANSLATION

The three predominators [Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu and Advaita
Prabhu] are worshipable by all living entities, and the fourth principle [Sri
Gadadhara Prabhu] is to be understood as Their worshiper.

PURPORT

In his Anubhasya, Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, describing the truth
about the Parica-tattva, explains that we can understand that Lord Sri Caitanya
‘Mahaprabhu is the supreme predominator, and Nityananda Prabhu and Advaita
Prabhu are His subordinates but are also predominators. Lord Sri Caitanya Maha-
prabhu is the Supreme Lord, and Nityananda Prabhu and Advaita Prabhu are mani-
festations of the Supreme Lord. All of Them are Visnu-tattva, the Supreme, and are
therefore worshipable by the living entities. Although the other two tattvas within
the category of Pafica-tattva—namely, sakti-tattva and jiva-tattva, represented by
Gadadhara and Srivasa—are worshipers of the Supreme Lord, they are in the same cate-
gory because they eternally engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.
