Although ĹrÄŤ Advaita Prabhu belongs to the Viᚣášu category, He displays servitorship to Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu as one of His associates. When Lord Viᚣášu appears as a servitor, He is called an incarnation of a devotee of Lord KášášŁáša. ĹrÄŤ Saáš karᚣaáša, who is an incarnation of Viᚣášu in the spiritual sky known as the greater Vaikuášášha, is the chief of the quadruple incarnations and is the original incarnation of a devotee. Lord MahÄ-Viᚣášu, who is lying on the Causal Ocean, is a manifestation of Saáš karᚣaáša. He is the original Personality of Godhead who glances over the material and efficient causes of the cosmic manifestation. Advaita Prabhu is accepted as an incarnation of MahÄ-Viᚣášu. All the plenary manifestations of Saáš karᚣaáša are indirect expansions of Lord KášášŁáša. That consideration also makes Advaita Prabhu an eternal servitor of Gaura KášášŁáša. Therefore He is accepted as a devotee incarnation.
