seeing through the eyes of scriptures

question about Pancatattvamakam sloka, plus my answer

Dear Payonidhi prabhu

Hare Krsna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. PAMFO I hope your sadhana and bhajan are going well.

In this verse, panca tattvatmakam krsnam bhakta rupa svarupakam bhaktavataram bhaktakhyam namai bhakta saktikam, what is the EXACT "difference" between "bhakta rupa," and bhakta SVArupa". (I KNOW that bhakta rupa refers to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and bhakta SVArupa refers to Nityananda Prabhu, the DIRECT expansion.) So in terms of the actual Sanskrit meanings of (bhakta) rupa and (bhakta) SVArupa, what is the difference in meaning of the two words?

I hope all is going well.

TEXT 14
panca-tattvatmakam krsnam
bhakta-rupa-svarupakam
bhaktavataram bhaktakhyam
namami bhakta-saktikam
SYNONYMS
panca-tattva-atmakam--comprehending the five transcendental subject matters; krsnam--unto Lord Krsna; bhakta-rupa--in the form of a devotee; sva-rupakam--in the expansion of a devotee; bhakta-avataram--in the incarnation of a devotee; bhakta-akhyam--known as a devotee; namami--I offer my obeisances; bhakta-saktikam--the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who supplies energy to the devotee.
TRANSLATION
I offer my obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Krsna, who is nondifferent from His features as a devotee, devotional incarnation, devotional manifestation, pure devotee, and devotional energy

Lord Nityananda and Balarama is Vilasa rupa of Sri Krsna and Mahaprabhu, there is hardly any difference between Krsna and Balarama ,but he is the first expansion Vilasa rupa, very similar in power potency opulence etc of Sri Krsna..so my understanding it that Lord Nityananda is sva rupakam , the Vilasa manifestation that becomes a devotee,and Svayam rupa ,Mahaprabhu is Bhakta rupakam .
Ete camsa-kalah pumsah krsnas tu bhagavan svayam [SB 1.3.28].
I hope this is helpful to you
your servant
