Dandavats. Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

It is used only in Krsna Book (which was dictated) and in a lecture,

therefore I believe it can be a transription mistake. There is a similar

sounding term from Brahma-samhita, nava-yauvana, literally "fresh

youthfulness" (also found in Jaiva-dharma, Gopala-campu, BRS,

Lalita-madhava, Garga-samhita, Brahma-vaivarta Purana). So 'nitya

nava-yauvana' would mean that Lord Krsna is eternally adorned with fresh

youthfulness.

 

Humbly,

Adi Purusha Das
