Dear Jaganath: Among the three caregories
of Jivans(Bhaddha, Mukta and Nitya),
Nitya or Nitya Suri or Divya Suri
or Sadhya Deva: is the one , who never ever
was subject to karmas or held in its Bondage
like Bhaddha or Muktha Jivan.Nityas
are the fortunate ones , who exist forever as
free souls inn the eternal transcendental
realm of Sri Vaikuntam. Garuda , Anantha
and Vishvaksena are three examples. Brahma Tantra
Swatnatra Swami includes Azhwaaras and Acharyaals in the
Divya Suri stotram . In his first sloka ,he
describes Sriman Narayana in the company
of Nitya Suris this way :
SRIMADH VEDANTHA STHAPANAA NITYA DIKSHITAM
SRIMAN nARAAYANMA VANDEH BHANTHAM SURI GURU UTTAMAI:
( I SLAUTE SRIMAN NARAYANA ,WHO IS FOREVER
DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH THE GEUINE PRINCIPLES
OF VEDANTHA ON EARTH AND WHO SHINES IN THE MIDST
OF LIBERATED SOULS AND WORTHY PERCEPTORS)
tHEN HE GOES ON TO SALUTE FROM POIGAI AZHWAAR
TO THIRUMANGAI.
IN THE SECOND SLOKA , HE STATES IN THE LATTER HALF:
DWAAPAREH PANCHAJANYAAMSAM SAROYOGINAMAASRAYEH (POYGAI)
NITYA SURIS AND MUKTAS COME DOWN ON SPECIFIC
MISIONS OF THE LORD , BUT ARE NOT BOUND TO
KARMAS LIKE A BHADDHA JIVAN DURING THEIR
STAY ON EARTH.

In reply to Sreekrishna's answer to my question about Balarama, then
what is the definition of a Nitya Suri?
Jaganath.
