So by the ''śāstra ''indication, especially in the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', Caitanya Mahāprabhu's incarnation is described:

:''kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ''
:''saṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam''
:''yajñair saṅkīrtanair prāyair''
:''yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ''
:([[vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]])

This is the most important verse indicating Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Kṛṣṇa. ''Kṛṣṇa-varṇam''. He is in the same category. And another meaning, ''kṛṣṇa-varṇayati'': "The incarnation of Kṛṣṇa who is always describing Kṛṣṇa or chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa." ''Varṇayati''. But ''tviṣa akṛṣṇam'': "But by complexion, ''akṛṣṇa'', not black." So "not black," that may be many other colors. Then which of them I shall take? That is also stated in the ''śāstra''. While making the horoscope of Kṛṣṇa, Gargamuni, he said, ''idānīṁ kṛṣṇataṁ gataḥ''. ''Śukla-raktas tathā pītam idānīṁ kṛṣṇataṁ gataḥ ''([[vanisource:SB 10.8.13|SB 10.8.13]]): "Nanda Mahārāja, your son, this child, has now appeared as ''kṛṣṇa'', blackish." ''Idānīṁ kṛṣṇataṁ gataḥ''. "Otherwise this very child appeared in previous ages." ''Śukla-raktas tathā pīta'': "He . . . Sometimes He appeared in white color, sometimes red, sometimes yellow." This yellow color refers to Caitanya Mahāprabhu, golden color. So this is also confirmed. Not . . . If somebody says that "He is Kṛṣṇa. Why He is not blackish?" No. He appears as the devotee of Kṛṣṇa in golden color. We say, therefore, "golden ''avatāra''."

So ''kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣa akṛṣṇam saṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam ''([[vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]). He is with His soldiers, ''saṅga'', ''upāṅga'', part of the part: Advaita Prabhu, Nityānanda Prabhu. Nityānanda Prabhu is directly part; Advaita Prabhu is part of the part. And ''astra''. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also has His ''astra'', weapon. The ''astra ''means to, I mean to say, ''paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtam ''([[vanisource:BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]]). So this ''astra'', what is that? ''Saṅkīrtana''. ''Saṅkīrtanaiḥ''. ''Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtanaiḥ prāyair yajanti hi ''([[vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]). This Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is also ''astra ''of Kṛṣṇa for killing the demons, but it is not like a . . . like a sword. It is not active. But it is ''astra''. It is killing the demons, but in a different way. The demonic habits are being killed, demonic habits. Everyone, we can understand it how our demonic activities are being killed by this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement.
