Childhood and youth are face to face,

Krishna:
Childhood and youth are face to face,--
She stands uncertain, in the hold of rival factions:
Sometimes she binds her hair, sometimes she lets it fall,
Sometimes she hides her body, sometimes she leaves it bare.

Her tranquil eyes are somewhat troubled,
There where the breasts arise are purple stains,
Her restless feet reflect her heart's unrest:
Madan awakes, whose eyes were shut.

Hearken, Murāri, saith Vidyāpati:
Sustain with patience till I bring her.
