tabe nityÄnanda-gosÄñira vyÄsa-pÅ«jana
nityÄnandÄveÅ›e kaila muá¹£ala dhÄraṇa
tabe - thereafter; nityÄnanda - NityÄnanda; gosÄñira - of the Lord; vyÄsa-pÅ«jana - worshiping VyÄsadeva or the spiritual master; nityÄnanda-ÄveÅ›e - in the ecstasy of becoming NityÄnanda; kaila - did; muá¹£ala dhÄraṇa - carrying a plowlike weapon called a muá¹£ala.
NityÄnanda Prabhu then arranged to offer VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ, or worship of the spiritual master, to Lord ÅšrÄ« Gaurasundara. But Lord Caitanya carried the plowlike weapon called muá¹£ala in the ecstasy of being NityÄnanda Prabhu.
By the order of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, NityÄnanda Prabhu arranged for the VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ of the Lord on the night of the full moon. He arranged for the VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ, or guru-pÅ«jÄ, through the agency of VyÄsadeva. Since VyÄsadeva is the original guru (spiritual master) of all who follow the Vedic principles, worship of the spiritual master is called VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ. NityÄnanda Prabhu arranged for the VyÄsa-pÅ«jÄ, and saá¹…kÄ«rtana was going on, but when He tried to put a garland on the shoulder of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, He saw Himself in Lord Caitanya. There is no difference between the spiritual positions of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu and NityÄnanda Prabhu, or Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma. All of Them are but different manifestations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. During this special ceremony, all the devotees of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu could understand that there is no difference between Lord Caitanya and NityÄnanda Prabhu.
