Ādi 7.6 ## Text > pañca-tattvātmakaṁ kṛṣṇaṁ > bhakta-rūpa-svarūpakam > bhaktāvatāraṁ bhaktākhyaṁ > namāmi bhakta-śaktikam ## Synonyms *pañca*-*tattva*-*ātmakam*—comprehending the five transcendental subject matters; *kṛṣṇam*—unto Lord Kṛṣṇa; *bhakta*-*rūpa*—in the form of a devotee; *svarūpakam*—in the expansion of a devotee; *bhakta*-*avatāram*—in the incarnation of a devotee; *bhakta*-*ākhyam*—known as a devotee; *namāmi*—I offer my obeisances; *bhakta*-*śaktikam*—the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. ## Translation **Let me offer my obeisances unto Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has manifested Himself in five as a devotee, expansion of a devotee, incarnation of a devotee, pure devotee and devotional energy.** ## Purport Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu is the immediate expansion of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as His brother. He is the personified spiritual bliss of *sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha.* His body is transcendental and full of ecstasy in devotional service. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is therefore called *bhakta-rūpa* (the form of a devotee), and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu is called *bhakta-svarūpa* (the expansion of a devotee). Śrī Advaita Prabhu, the incarnation of a devotee, is *viṣṇu-tattva* and belongs to the same category. There are also different types of *bhaktas,* or devotees, on the platforms of neutrality, servitude, friendship, parenthood and conjugal love. Devotees like Śrī Dāmodara, Śrī Gadādhara and Śrī Rāmānanda are different energies. This confirms the Vedic *sūtra parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate.* All these *bhakta* subjects taken together constitute Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is Kṛṣṇa Himself.
