  • yad advaitaṁ brahmopaniṣadi tad apy asya tanu-bhā
    ya ātmāntaryāmī puruṣa iti so’syāṁśa-vibhavaḥ |
    ṣaḍ-aiśvaryaiḥ pūrṇo ya iha bhagavān sa svayam ayaṁ
    na caitanyāt krṣṇāj jagati para-tattvaṁ param iha ||
    (Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 1.1.3)

    “That which is [known as] nondual Brahman in the Upaniṣads is indeed the luster of his figure. The Puruṣa, [known in the yoga-śāstras as] the indwelling regulator of the ātmā, is a manifestion of his aṁśa [i.e., a manifestation of Mahāviṣṇu, who is a partial manifestation of him]. He who is Bhagavān replete with the six aiśvaryas [i.e., Nārāyaṇa of Vaikuṇṭha, the source of the Puruṣa-avatāras] is in this regard [i.e., in the context of deliberation upon and experience of essential nature] also he himself [i.e., also a partial manifestation of him]. There is [thus] no supreme entity in this regard [i.e., in the domain of deliberation and experience] other than Kṛṣṇa Caitanya [i.e., Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is verily Svayam Bhagavān and nondiffernet from Śrī Kṛṣṇa himself].”
