SB 10.55.9
nati-dirghena kalena
 sa karsni rudha-yauvanah
janayam asa narinam
 viksantinam ca vibhramam

Translation:
After a short time, this son of Krsna — Pradyumna — attained His full youth. He enchanted all women who gazed upon Him.


SB 10.55.10
sa tam patim padma-dalayateksanam
 pralamba-bahum nara-loka-sundaram
sa-vrida-hasottabhita-bhruveksati
 prityopatasthe ratir anga saurataih

Translation:
My dear King, with a bashful smile and raised eyebrows, Mayavati exhibited various gestures of conjugal attraction as she lovingly approached her husband, whose eyes were broad like the petals of a lotus, whose arms were very long and who was the most beautiful of men.

Purport:
Mayavati exhibited her conjugal attraction for Pradyumna even before revealing their true identities. Naturally this caused some confusion at first, as described in the following verse.
