| Description | This work presents the devotional vision of Amar Singh II, who sits in the upper left. An inscription along the top, drawn from the devotional text of the Bivamangalastava, states: On earth there are in all probability only three hitching posts for the elephant called Murari (a name for Krishna): the wooden mortar, the mind of the ascetics, and the budlike breasts of milkmaids. The central elements of this passage appear in the image: the blue figure of Krishna, dragging a mortar, approaches his foster mother, Yashoda, while below, an ascetic sits on the riverbank near the elephant Murari. |
