Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 7.15
এই তিন তত্ত্ব,—‘সর্বারাধ্য’ করি মানি ।
চতুর্থ যে ভক্ততত্ত্ব,—‘আরাধক’ জানি ॥ ১৫ ॥
ei tina tattva, — ‘sarvārādhya’ kari māni
caturtha ye bhakta-tattva, — ‘ārādhaka’ jāni
The three predominators [Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Nityānanda Prabhu and Advaita Prabhu] are worshipable by all living entities, and the fourth principle [Śrī Gadādhara Prabhu] is to be understood as Their worshiper.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the supreme predominator. Nityānanda Prabhu and Advaita Prabhu are His subordinates, yet They are also manifestations of the Supreme Lord.
All three belong to viṣṇu-tattva and are worshipable by all living entities.
Gadādhara and Śrīvāsa represent śakti-tattva and jīva-tattva and are worshipers of the Supreme Lord. They are included in the Pañca-tattva because they eternally engage in His transcendental loving service.
