Thank you perhaps you can help me understand Bharata’s age of renunciation.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 5.7.8 says it happened after 10 million years and

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 5.14.43 says it happened in yuva, youth.

Śrīla Prabhupāda mentions in a lecture, at the age of 24.

This means he lived for a long time without becoming old; that's one of the remarkable points of the story. Even after such a long life, his senses were strong, like a 24-year-old, but still, he renounced everything to serve Krsna.
