or Durga. It can also refer to His very dear associates; Narahari,<br />

Muräri Gupta 1 writes in his kaòacä:<br />
avatirnau sa-karunyau paricchinnau sad éçvara<br />
çré kåñëa caitanya-nityänandau dvau bhratau bhaje<br />
I worship the two brothers, Çré Kåñëa Caitanya and<br />
Çré Nityänanda, who have descended into this world as<br />
the supreme controllers. Concealing Their true forms,<br />
They have mercifully descended to this world.<br />
sa jayati visuddha-vikramaù kanakäbhaù kamaläyatekñnaù<br />
vara-jänu-vilambi-sad-bhujo bahudhä bhakti-rasäbhinartakaù<br />
All glories to Çré Gaurasundara, whose powerful<br />
activities are supremely pure, whose bodily complexion<br />
is like molten gold, whose eyes are like lotus petals,<br />
whose six beautiful arms extend to His knees, and<br />
whose heart is flooded with loving devotional bliss as<br />
He enjoys dancing in various ways in kértana.<br />
1 Muräri Gupta appeared in a vaidya (physician) family at the<br />
village of Çré Haööa. Later he came to live in Navadvépa. He was a<br />
great devotee of Lord Rämacandra and is considered to be an incarnation<br />
of Hanumän, the foremost devotee of Lord Rämacandra. He was<br />
greatly learned in the medical science. Çré Gauräìgadeva disclosed<br />
the glories of Muräri Gupta on the pretext of enjoying His pastimes.<br />
After hearing the glorification of Çré Räma from his mouth, the Lord<br />
wrote the name “Rämadäsa” on his forehead. Muräri Gupta composed<br />
the pastimes of Çré Gauräìga in Sanskrit, in the form of verses known<br />
as the kaòacä of Muräri Gupta. This is the original Sanskrit literature<br />
describing the pastimes of Lord Caitanya. He composed this kaòacä<br />
in the month of July in the year 1435 Çaka era.<br />
