VAISHAMPAYNA said:—In this way, Krishna and Sangkarshana passed their childhood in Vraja and became seven years old (1).
They used to put on dark-blue and yellow raiments, paste their persons with yellow and white paints and used to wear feathers of crows while tending kine (2).
While gone to the forest those two beautiful boys used to play on Panāvas, the music of which is sweet to the ears, and shone there like three-hooded serpents (3).
Sometimes putting peacok feathers on their ears, crowns of leaves on their heads and garlands of wild flowers on their breast they shone there like two growing trees (4).
Sometimes placing a crown of lotuses on their heads, converting a rope into a sacred thread and gourds with a string suspended, in their hands, they used to play on flutes (5).
Sometimes sporting with one another, laughing and lying down on a bed of leaves they used to enjoy sleep (6).
Thus leading the life of a cow-herd boy and moving about delightedly hither and thither like two young horses they beautified that forest (7).
