Summary
[edit]DescriptionKrishna Brings the Messenger Akrura Inside Nanda’s House.jpg |
English: Akrura was dispatched by the evil king Kamsa to invite Krishna and Balarama to a function at his palace. While traveling to reach the gods, Akrura becomes a fervent devotee and therefore reveals the evil king’s plan to have them killed. As with many of the pages in this manuscript, inscriptions on the painted surface identify the characters represented; this feature, coupled with the simplified compositions, might suggest that this manuscript was commissioned by a non-royal patron |
