Who's Lord Balram?

Hare Krsna dear devotees, accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

As per my little knowledge I know that Balrama is the 1st expansion of the Supreme. But I found the following info in this regard:

"It can be observed that no two Avatars are in action simultaneously, with the exception of Parasurama who is considered as a Chiramjeevi. Even Parasuram has withdrawn from action when he realised that Sri Rama is an Avatar of the Lord Vishnu. So Balrama cannot be an avatar when Sri Krishna is one.

Balrama is believed as the incarnation of the great serpent Sesha Naga on whom Lord Vishnu reclines.

In Ramayana, brother Lakshman (incarnation of the Serpent King Adishesha) desires to be born as elder to the Lord and Sri Rama assures him the same in future. So in the next Avatar as Sri Krishna, Lord has taken birth as the younger brother of Balrama, who is thus considered as the incarnation of Adisesha (rebirth of Lakshman).

But according to some school of thought Balrama was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu."

Pls put down ur valuable knowlege and enlighten me about the exact truth.

Your servant
