Youth (kiśora – age 11-16 ) of Krishna

kharatātra nakhāgrāṇāṁ dhanur āndolitā bhruvoḥ |
radānāṁ rañjanaṁ rāga-cūrṇair ity ādi ceṣṭitam ||2.1.317||

"At the beginning of youth, the activities consist of sharpening His nails,
quivering of His bow-like eyebrows and staining the teeth with dyes."

yathā-
navaṁ dhanur ivātanor naṭad-agha-dviṣor bhrū-yugaṁ
śarālir iva śāṇitā nakhara-rājir agre kharā |
virājati śarīriṇī rucira-danta-lekhāruṇā
na kā sakhi samīkṣaṇād yuvatir asya vitrasyati ||2.1.318||

An example:

"The two eyebrows of the enemy of Agha are dancing like new bows of Cupid.
The tips of His rows of fingernails are so sharp that they shine like a line of arrows.
The glistening rows of His attractive teeth embody the redness of dawn.
What young woman would not be afraid of being attracted by seeing Him?"

tan-mohanatā, yathā -
kartuṁ mugdhāḥ svayam acaṭunā na kṣamante'bhiyogaṁ
na vyādātuṁ kvacid api jane vaktram apy utsahante |
dṛṣṭvā tās te nava-madhurima-smeratāṁ mādhavārtāḥ
sva-prāṇebhyas trayam udasṛjann adya toyāñjalīnām ||2.1.319||

The attractiveness of the first part of youth:

"O Mādhava! Gazing upon the new sweetness of Your smile, the bewildered, immobilized gopīs
are not able to reveal spontaneously the sentiments in their minds.
And they are not able to confide in any person. What more can be said?
They are so pained that today they have offered three handfuls of water to their life airs."

atha madhyamam -
ūru-dvayasya bāhvoś ca kāpi śrīr urasas tathā |
mūrter mādhurimādyaṁ ca kaiśore sati madhyame ||2.1.320||

"During the middle of His kaiśora period, Kṛṣṇa displays indescribable beauty
in His two thighs, His two arms and His chest, and sweetness in His whole form."

yathā -
spṛhayati kari-śuṇḍā-daṇḍanāyoru-yugmaṁ
garuḍa-maṇi-kavāṭī-sakhyam icchaty uraś ca |
bhuja-yugam api dhitsaty argalāvarga-nindām
abhinava-taruṇimnaḥ prakrame keśavasya ||2.1.321||

An example:
"In the course of Kṛṣṇa's fresh youth, His thighs desired to punish the trunks of elephants,
His chest desired to make friends with door panels made of sapphire, and His arms scolded door bolts."

mukhaṁ smita-vilāsāḍhyaṁ vibhramottarale dṛśau |
tri-jagan-mohanaṁ gītam ity ādir iha mādhurī ||2.1.322||

"The sweetness of His middle youth consists of
His face brilliant with soft smile,
His eyes restless with flirtation, and
His singing which enchants the three words."

yathā -
anaṅga-naya-cāturī-paricayottaraṅge dṛśau
mukhāmbujam udañcita-smita-vilāsa-ramyādharam |
acañcala-kulāṅganā-vrata-viḍambi-saṅgītakaṁ
hares taruṇimāṅkure sphurati mādhurī kāpy abhūt ||2.1.323||

An example:
"What sweetness became visible at the sprouting of Hari's youth!
His two restless eyes made friendship with the crafty conduct of Cupid.
His lotus face became most radiant with attractive lips embellished with smiles.
His singing made even the chaste women break their marriage vows."

vaidagdhī-sāra-vistāraḥ kuñja-keli-mahotsavaḥ |
ārambho rāsa-līlāder iha ceṣṭādi-sauṣṭhavam ||2.1.324||

"The excellence of His behavior during the middle of His youth consists of
a profuse concentration of charming but cunning actions,
a great festival of pastimes in the groves and the beginning of the rāsa dance."

yathā -
vyaktālakta-padaiḥ kvacit pariluṭhat-piñchāvataṁsaiḥ kvacit
talpair vicyuta-kāñcibhiḥ kvacid asau vyākīrṇa-kuñjotkarā |
prodyan-maṇḍala-bandha-tāṇḍava-ghaṭālakṣmollasat-saikatā
govindasya vilāsa-vṛndam adhikaṁ vṛndāṭavī śaṁsati ||2.1.325||

An example:
"In some places, by His clearly visible lac-stained footprints,
in other places by the peacock feathers plundered from His headdress,
in other places by beds strewn with discarded belts,
by a multitude of disheveled groves and sand glowing with the evident marks of dancing in a circle
Vṛndāvan announces the manifold pastimes of Govinda."

tan-mohanatā, yathā -
vidūrān mārāgniṁ hṛdaya-ravi-kānte prakaṭayann
udasyan dharmenduṁ vidadhad abhito rāga-paṭalam |
kathaṁ hā nas trāṇaṁ sakhi mukulayan bodha-kumudaṁ
tarasvī kṛṣṇābabhre madhurima-bharārko'bhyudayate ||2.1.326||

The attractiveness of the middle period of Kṛṣṇa's youth:

"O friend! Has an energetic sun full of sweetness arisen in the black sky called Kṛṣṇa?
From a distance He has ignited the fire of passion in the sūrya-kānta jewel of my heart
and produced a mass of red clouds in every direction.
He had made the moon of dharma set,
and transformed the blooming night lotus of discrimination into a mere bud.
How can we be delivered from this condition?"
