PURPORT
This text is from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (11.5.32). Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī has explained this verse in his commentary on the  Bhāgavatam  known as the  Krama-sandarbha , wherein he says that Lord Kṛṣṇa also appears with a golden complexion. That golden Lord Kṛṣṇa is Lord Caitanya, who is worshiped by intelligent men in this age. That is confirmed in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  by Gargamuni, who said that although the child Kṛṣṇa was blackish, He also appears in three other colors—red, white and yellow. He exhibited His white and red complexions in the Satya and Tretā ages respectively. He did not exhibit the remaining color, yellow-gold, until He appeared as Lord Caitanya, who is known as Gaurahari.
Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī explains that  kṛṣṇa-varṇam  means Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.  Kṛṣṇa-varṇa  and Kṛṣṇa Caitanya are equivalent. The name Kṛṣṇa appears with both Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya Kṛṣṇa. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but He always engages in describing Kṛṣṇa and thus enjoying transcendental bliss by chanting and remembering His name and form. Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself appears as Lord Caitanya to preach the highest gospel.
