(218) He constantly chanted the name, “Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.” Even in His dream He would not speak anything else.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu constantly chanted the name, “Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.” Lord Kṛṣṇa personally appeared as Lord Caitanya, and this form of Lord Caitanya is meant to revive the spiritual consciousness of people who are averse to Kṛṣṇa by preaching the teachings of Kṛṣṇa.
Nityānanda Prabhu did not speak any word other than, “Śrī Caitanya,” either while awake or asleep.
