অতএব প্রভু তাঁরে বলে, 'বড় ভাই'।
কৃষ্ণ, বলরাম দুই-চৈতন্য, নিতাই ॥ ৭৮ ॥

ataeva prabhu taṅre bale, 'bada bhai'

krsna, balarama dui-caitanya, nitai

SYNONYMS

ataeva-therefore; prabhu-Lord Caitanya; taṅre-unto Visvarupa; bale-says; bada bhai-elder brother; krsna-Lord Krsna; balarama-and Baladeva; dui-two; caitanya-Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu; nitai-and Lord Nityananda Prabhu.

TRANSLATION

Because Maha-Saṅkarsana 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 Saṅkarsana, Baladeva.
