ataeva prabhu tanre bale, ‘bada bhai’
krsna, balaréma dui—caitanya, nitat
SYNONYMS
ataeva—therefore; prabhu—Lord Caitanya; téAre—unto Visvarapa; bale—says;
bada bhdi—elder brother; krspa—Lord Krsna; balerdma—and Batadeva; dui—two;
caitanya—Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu; nitdéi—and Lord Nitydnanda Prabhu.
TRANSLATION
Because Maha-Sankarsana is the ingredient and efficient cause of the cosmic
manifestation, He is present in every detail of it. Lord Caitanya therefore called
Him His elder brother. The two brothers are known as Krsna and Balarama in the
spiritual world, but at the present moment they are Caitanya and Nitai. Therefore
the conclusion is that Nityananda Prabhu is the original Sankarsana, Baladeva.
