The mood changes and once again the poet reminds us that the mysterious love
play of Krsna is wondrous and divine. The benedictory verses of each of the
prabandhas serve this purpose of taking the reader to the mood of devotion and
prayer. The artist manifests a keen perception of this change of dimension and
mood.
Radha and the sakhi sit as elsewhere in one corner. Hari is again seen many
times, embracing gopis. Jayadeva sits with other poets recitng the poem (whoever
hears this poem attains perfection). The tiny boat, with a solitary figure, is
the pictorial motif for this perfection, attained through repeating the name of
Hari. The domestic scene with a man, woman and child portrays the phrase
'kalyana ... vistaro' of the Hindi text. An aura of peace, calm, and fulfilment
permeates the painting. The colors are soft and delicate. The expression of all
figures devout and the mystery of the song reverberates in line and color.
