Catalogue Note

The inscription in verso reads “Krishna’s body is getting colder by the minute. A lot of remedies have been tried. Do what you like with this body but he does not find happiness. He does not listen to anyone nor does he understand anything. Who shall I ask? Who will treat his malady? Has he renounced the world, is he estranged from someone? What does he know of this condition?” Rasikapriya. 8.51
