Arrange My Tresses, My Love!

Plate 14 of 16


This picture illustrates the following verse from Canto XII of the Gita Govinda:

bhramarachayam rachayan tamupari
ruchiram suchiram mama sammukhe
jitakamale vimale parikarmaya
narmajana kamalakam mukhe

"Arrange my tresses, O beloved Krishna, round my temples.
These are purer than the lotus blossom."
