8-20 Kriṣṇa’s Bath and veṣa-karana

Verse 8-9
When Krishna approached the snana vedi, the servant named Saranga removes his ornaments and puts on his new thin snana vastra that hangs in elegant folds.
Krishna pleasantly sits on a soft asana above the snana vedi. Then the servant named Patri washes his lotus feet with the scented rose water poured from Patraka's golden lota. Next Krishna's feet are dried with a soft towel.
Verse 10-11
The barber's son named Subandha uses Narayan oil and other substance to ardently massage Krishna's entire body.
Then the handsome servant named Sugandha removes the oil with a yellow udvarttana paste that is softer than butter.

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
Krishna-bhavanamrita mentions that during Krishna's massage, Mother Yashoda stands close by to watch. Then if she notices the servants lacking expertise, she steps in and shows them how to massage Gopala properly. After a while, the servants request Vrajeshwari to let them finish their duty. But Yashoda is so fascinated that she can't stop! Sometimes Yashoda asks Radharani's maidservants like Rupa Manjari and others to massage and bathe Gopala. 

Because Nandarani's mind is innocent with vatsalya affection, she regards Krishna as her breast-fed infant. And she also thinks, Sri Rupa and the others are still very young-"Why, just yesterday I saw them taking birth. What is the harm if they mix with my Gopala?" So when Mother Yashoda is busy, sometimes she even leaves the manjaris alone with Krishna and goes off to perform other work. Then Krishna fulfills his long cherished desires to play with them.

Verse 12-13
The servants named Snigdha and Karpura are expert in hair care. They use cool and refreshing newly squeezed amalaki pulp to massage Krishna's head.
Yashoda's leading servant, Raktak, begins to bathe Krishna with cold water provided by Payoda.
Verse 14-15
Then Krishna's cool lustrous body is rubbed with a fine cloth. Many other servants assist in showering their praneshwar. Using small golden lotas, they pour slightly warm, scented water from large jugs that are kept beside the snana vedi.
The servant named Patri takes a soft towel and dries Krishna's entire body and hair ; then he covers Krishna with a lustrous golden cloth.

Veṣa-karana
Verse 16
Next Krishna steps over to another purified vedi and sits down, and from behind, the servant Kumuda dries and perfumes Krishna's hair with aguru incense. Then, using a comb, he gathers all of Krishna's hair together and ties it in a juti (topknot).

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
This method of drying and perfuming the hair was in vogue amongst rajas and rani's of India even up to the last century.

Verse 17-19
The servant named Makaranda uses gorocan to expertly paint Krishna's tilak named tamala-patra; then he places a black kasturi dot in its center. Next he anoints Krishna's body with catuh-sama (fragrant ointment made from kasturi aguru, kunkum and karpura). Meanwhile, the dasa named Premakanta
puts on Krishna's golden bangles named cankan.
He fastens Krishna's renowned makara-kuntala (dolphin earrings) to his ears.
He puts on Krishna's anklebells, whose jingling surpass the charm of the swan's call.
Then he adorns Krishna's chest with a tara-mani necklace.

As Mother Yashoda watches the servants dress Krishna, she becomes overwhelmed! So she tells them hurry up, and she assists them in the dressing.

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
Seeing the delay in Krishna's shringar, Vrajeshwari contemplates: "My child is famished. How much longer will he have to endure ?" Thus she wants Krishna into the dining room as soon as possible.

Verse 20
Meanwhile, the sakhas return with Baladev and Madhumangal after having their bath and shringar. Krishna looks stunning within their midst!

Rasa-tarangini Tika:
Krishna-bhavanamrita tells that when Krishna's shringar is complete, he sits on a luxurious jeweled vedi with his friends. Then, acting silly, he closes his eyes and says, "I shall meditate on Narayan." Thus Krishna imitates his father's grave behavior during his mealtime prayer. But with this opportunity, Radha rasa-anuragi Madhava meditates on the ecstasy he feels kissing Radha. Thus his body erupts with ashta-sattvic bhavas!
