Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 20.384
Kṛṣṇa Remains Eternally in Pre-youth
“Lord Kṛṣṇa exhibits His pastimes of childhood, boyhood and pre-youth. When He reaches pre-youth, He continues to exist eternally to perform His rāsa dance and other pastimes.
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa exhibits pastimes of childhood, boyhood and pre-youth, but He does not grow like an ordinary human being.
- When He reaches pre-youth, called kaiśora, He does not grow any older.
- He remains eternally in this age to perform His rāsa dance and other pastimes. He is therefore described as nava-yauvana.
