He was Halayudha in Krsnalila. According to Premavilasa 24, #Nityananda was a disciple of Isvara Puri. Sri Jiva states that Nityananda was a disciple of Sankarsana Puri who was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri.
But Bhakti Ratnakara states that Nityananda took initiation from Laksmipati who was the guru of Madhavendra Puri. If this were the case then Nityananda would have been the great-guru of Lord Caitanya and a friendly relationship could not have existed between the two. According to Caitanya Bhagavata. Madhavendra Puri dealt with Nityananda as a friend, while the latter showed guru-like reverence to the former.
