Jayapataka Swami: Baladeva is svayam prakash of Krsna. Nityananda Prabhu is Baladeva. So He is the first expansion of Krsna. He is the full expansion. And then the three incarnations are avatars, who are expansions of expansions, there is Mahavisnu, Garbodakasayi Visnu and Ksirodakasayi Visnu So technically Mahavisnu is the incarnation for the material world, He manifests all the universes, and He puts into the universes the living entities at the beginning of the creation. Hare Krsna.  15-APRIL-2020 SRI MAYAPUR DHAM, INDIA
