Ages of Kṛṣṇa in Bauma- Vṛndavan-līlā

from Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu भकतिरसामृतसिन्धु

tatra vayaḥ -
vayaḥ kaumāra-paugaṇḍa-kaiśoram iti tat tridhā ||2.1.308||

"Kṛṣṇa has three ages: childhood (kumāra), boyhood (paugaṇḍa) and youth (kiśora)."

kaumāraṁ pañcamābdāntaṁ paugaṇḍaṁ daśamāvadhi |
ā-ṣoḍaśāc ca kaiśoraṁ yauvanaṁ syāt tataḥ param ||2.1.309||

"Childhood ends with the fifth year; boyhood ends with the tenth year;
youth ends with the sixteenth year. After that is manhood (yauvana)."

aucityāt tatra kaumāraṁ vaktavyaṁ vatsale rase |
paugaṇḍaṁ preyasi tat-tat-khelādi-yogataḥ ||2.1.310||
śraiṣṭhyam ujjvala evāsya kaiśorasya tathāpy adaḥ |
prāyaḥ sarva-rasaucityād atrodāhriyate kramāt ||2.1.311||

"Considering the suitability for pastimes, the childhood age is most fit for vātsala or parental rasa,
and boyhood is most fit for sakhya-rasa. Youth is most excellent for madhura-rasa.
The majority of examples given in this section are from youth, since it is suitable for all rasas."

ādyaṁ madhyaṁ tathā śeṣaṁ kaiśoraṁ trividhaṁ bhavet ||2.1.312||

"Youth (kaiśora) has three divisions: beginning, middle and end."

tatra ādyam -
varṇasyojjvalatā kāpi netrānte cāruṇa-cchaviḥ |
romāvali-prakaṭatā kaiśore prathame sati ||2.1.313||

"At the beginning of the kaiśora age, Kṛṣṇa's complexion becomes indescribably effulgent,
the edges of His eyes become reddish and fine hairs appear on His body."

tathā -
harati śitimā ko'py aṅgānāṁ mahendra-maṇi-śriyaṁ
praviśati dṛśor ante kāntir manāg iva lohinī |
sakhi tanu-ruhāṁ rājiḥ sūkṣmā darāsya virohate
sphurati suṣamā navyedānīṁ tanau vana-mālinaḥ ||2.1.314||

An example:
"O my friend! Now the body of Kṛṣṇa has taken on a fresh beauty. All His limbs steal the splendor of the dark blue sapphire. A reddish hue has entered the corners of His eyes, and a few very fine hairs have sprung up on His body."

vaijayantī-śikhaṇḍādi-naṭa-pravara-veśatā |
vaṁśī-madhurimā vastra-śobhā cātra paricchadaḥ ||2.1.315||

"His typical accoutrement during this period is the
Vaijayantī garland, peacock feather,
the costume of a dancer,
the sweetness of His flute playing, and the luster of His dress."

yathā śrī-daśame (10.21.5) -
barhāpīḍaṁ naṭa-vara-vapuḥ karṇayoḥ karṇikāraṁ
bibhrad-vāsaḥ kanaka-kapiśaṁ vaijayantīṁ ca mālām |
randhrān veṇor adhara-sudhayā pūrayan gopa-vṛndair
vṛndāraṇyaṁ sva-pada-ramaṇaṁ prāviśad gīta-kīrtiḥ ||2.1.316||

An example from the Tenth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam [10.21.5]:

"Wearing a peacock-feather ornament upon His head, blue karṇikāra flowers on His ears,
a yellow garment as brilliant as gold, and the Vaijayantī garland,
Lord Kṛṣṇa exhibited His transcendental form as the greatest of dancers
as He entered the forest of Vṛndāvana, beautifying it with the marks of His footprints.
He filled the holes of His flute with the nectar of His lips, and the cowherd boys sang His glories."
