Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrī Gaurahari is an ocean of mercy. Śrī Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja has described Him in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Ādi 8.15) as follows: “If you are indeed interested in logic and argument, kindly apply it to the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If you do so, you will find it to be strikingly wonderful.” Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhu has also offered his obeisances to the Lord and glorified Him as mahā-vadānyā, the most magnanimous, and kṛṣṇa-prema-pradā, the bestower of love of Kṛṣṇa. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the personification of mādhurya-līlā, or sweet pastimes, has displayed audārya-līlā, or magnanamous pastimes, in His Gaura pastimes.

Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu is the personification of service. Being a servant of Śrī Gaurasundara, who is the supreme worshipable Lord, Śrī Nityānanda personally worships Gaura and is the worshipable Lord of the pure devotees. Although Śrī Nityānanda Rāma, the Lord of lords, is Viṣṇu Himself, He is the servant and assistant in svayaṃ-rūpa Gaura’s magnanimous pastimes. Lord Nityānanda serves His Lord in ten forms.

Even today the Deity of Nityānanda is seen in Navadvīpa and Jagannātha Purī.
