who is Srinivasa in the song "nikathe adwaita, s'rînivâsa chatra-dhara?"
-
does it refer to Srivas Pandita from the Pancattatva or Srinivas acarya?
-
On Gaura's right is Nityananda, Left is Gadadhara, Nearby is Advaita, and then Srinivasa?
I researched online and found this from another song of Bhaktivinode Thakur in same Gitavali where Gaura Arati is from:
Sriman Mahaprabhura cata-nama
A Hundred Names of Lord Caitanya
Text 9
adwaita-bandhaba Srinibasa-grha-dhana
nityananda-prana gadadharera jibana
O friend of Advaita (Advaita-bandhava), O wealth of
Srivasa's home (Srinivasa-grha-dhana), O life of Nityananda
(Nityananda-prana), O life of Gadadhara (Gadadhara-jivana)!
So translation of Srinivasa-grha is Srivas.
So definitely Gaura Arati is referring to Srivas Pandit. That is Panchatattva picture being drawn for us. -
we can also refer to Caitanya Caritamrta
Adi Lila 4.TEXTS 227–228
where in the verse it comes Srinivas and Srila Prabhupada had translated as Srivas..
Amalagaura prabhu your answer is correct -
Srivasa and Srinivasa have the same meaning - the abode (vasa/nivasa) of Sri (Laksmi).
