Text 303] Pastimes of the Lord in His Youth 413

Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared as a devotee, He is none other than the son of
Nanda Maharaja. Similarly, although Sri Nityananda Prabhu appeared as Lord
Caitanya's assistant, He is none other than Baladeva, the carrier of the plow. Advaita
Acarya is the incarnation of Sadasiva from the spiritual world. All the devotees
headed by Srivasa Thakura are His marginal energy, whereas the devotees headed
by Gadadhara Pandita are manifestations of His internal potency.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Advaita Prabhu and Nityananda Prabhu all belong to
the vispu-tattva category. Because Lord Caitanya is an ocean of mercy, He is
addressed as mahdprabhu, whereas Nityananda and Advaita, being two great
personalities who assist Lord Caitanya, are addressed as prabhu. Thus there are
two prabhus and one mahdprabhu. Gadadhara Gosvami is a representative of a
perfect brahmana spiritual master. Srivasa Thakura represents a perfect brahmana
devotee. These five are known as the Panica-tattva.
