Cc Ādi 13.78

অতএব প্রভু তাঙ্রে বলে, ঽবড ভাইঽ কৃষ্ণ, বলরাম দুই—চৈতন্য, নিতাই

अतएव प्रभु ताङ्रे बले, ऽबड भाइऽ कृष्ण, बलराम दुइ—चैतन्य, निताइ

ataeva prabhu tāṅre bale, 'baḍa bhāi' kṛṣṇa, balarāma dui—caitanya, nitāi

Translation

Because Mahā-Saṅkarṣaṇa 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 Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in the spiritual world, but at the present moment they are Caitanya and Nitāi. Therefore the conclusion is that Nityānanda Prabhu is the original Saṅkarṣaṇa, Baladeva.
