  • kaumāre — in childhood (the fifth year)
    Locative of kaumāra — the age-stage from five to ten (in some texts). Kṛṣṇa's specific phase when this līlā occurred. Bhāgavatam's careful chronology — līlās are dated by age-stage as much as by event.
  • paugaṇḍe — in late childhood (the sixth year)
    Locative of paugaṇḍa — the subsequent age-stage. The līlā was celebrated only in paugaṇḍa because the boys' awareness of it was māyā-delayed. The verse encodes the temporal trick of brahma-vimohana.
  • hari-kṛtam — performed by Hari
    Compound: Hari + kṛta (done). The līlā is Hari's doing. Hari — 'one who takes away' — is the name pointed at when the message is about māyā being taken away. The right name for the right moment.
  • parikīrtitam — celebrated, glorified
    Past participle of pari-√kīrt. To celebrate thoroughly. The boys' homecoming-song (verse 47–48) is the parikīrtana. Saṅkīrtana of līlā as the līlā's mode of completion.
  • ākhyātam — narrated
    Past participle of ā-√khyā. To recount, narrate. Śuka's first-person notification: 'I have narrated.' The frame of the Bhāgavatam — Śuka to Parīkṣit — is openly acknowledged. The teacher is finishing one block before the next.
Since you inquired from me, I have fully described to you those activities of Lord Hari that were performed in His fifth year but not celebrated until His sixth.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Since you inquired from me, I have fully described to you those activities of Lord Hari that were performed in His fifth year but not celebrated until His sixth.
Commentary

In this way the final object of love has been proved. Only by taking shelter of his lotus feet does one get liberated and finally realize him. The outstanding position of the devotee is thus made clear now. Punya here means attractive. Murari is decorated with all attractive qualities (punya yaso murareh). One who takes shelter completely (sam=samyak asrita) of the devotees (mahatpadam) of Murari, endowed with attractive qualities, who are like a boat (plavam), does not even think of how to cross the material ocean. His goal is the eternal dhama of Vrndavana or vaikuntha. (param padam). He never falls into difficulty (vipadam) as his mind is not attached to anything except the lotus feet of Krsna.

A teacher concludes a story: 'what you asked for, I have now told.' Śuka closes the section on Kṛṣṇa's fifth year (kaumāra) being celebrated only in His sixth (paugaṇḍa) — the līlā outran the calendar. The pastime took place in the kaumāra-age, but the boys themselves did not know about it until paugaṇḍa, because the brahma-vimohana māyā had hidden it from them.
