On Gauras 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
Srivasas 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.

Srivasa and Srinivasa have the same meaning - the abode (vasa/nivasa) of Sri (Laksmi).
