Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 5.149, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Lord Jagannātha and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu appear as two.
  • Although appearing as two, They are one because They are both Kṛṣṇa.
  • Kṛṣṇa is one alone. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is therefore Kṛṣṇa Himself, as is Lord Jagannātha.
