Hearing them arrive, the moonfaced Sri Krishna eagerly sprang from bed and rubbed His lotus eyes. He then changed into fresh clothing suitable for tending the cows and sporting happily in the forest. (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.17)

Then the joyful servant boys, who were very expert in their duties, affectionately decorated their master with sandalwood paste, garlands, garments and ornaments. (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 4.73)

They applied beautiful two-lined tilaka upon Sri Krishna’s forehead and adorned His body with a paste of sandalwood and saffron, as well as with mineral powders of different colors. They dressed Him in fresh clothing, a crown bedecked with peacock feathers, seal-rings, earrings, a necklace of red and black gunja berries, a necklace of brilliant jewels with the kaustubha gem as its centerpiece and a garland of multicolored flowers. They placed a bracelet upon each of His wrists and upper arms, and upon His lotus feet, golden anklets and chains with tiny bells. (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 4.74)

On Sri Krishna’s chest they placed a beautiful necklace in whose large pearls He alone would be able to see Sri Radha’s reflection. (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 4.75)

( I think this means that when they were, for example, in the company of their elders and couldn’t look directly at each other, Krishna could still look at Radha’s reflection in the pearls without anyone knowing.)

On the left side of His abdomen they placed within His belt an animal horn for blowing, and on the right side, His jeweled murali flute. In His left hand He held a straight yellow staff, and with His right He playfully twirled a lotus flower. (Govinda-LIlAmRtam 4.76)

The tuft of hair upon Krishna’s head was adorned with a string of beautiful gunja berries holding a radiant peacock feather. On His ears they placed clusters of punnaga flowers and makara-shaped earrings inlaid with diamonds. His powerful chest was decorated with charming necklaces of pearl and gunja. The yellow-clad Sri Krishna beamed with eagerness to begin His walk to the pleasure groves. (KRSNAhnika-KaumudI 3.18)
