कैसी होरी खिलाई। आग तन-मन में लगाई॥ पानी की बूँदी से पिंड प्रकट कियो सुंदर रूप बनाई। पेट अधम के कारन मोहन घर-घर नाच नचाई॥ तबौ नहिं हबस बुझाई। भूँजी भाँग नहीं घर भीतर, का पहिनी का खाई। टिकस पिया मोरी लाज का रखल्यो, ऐसे बनो न कसाई॥ तुम्हें कैसर दोहाई। कर जोरत हौं बिनती करत हूँ छाँड़ो टिकस कन्हाई। आन लगी ऐसे फाग के ऊपर भूखन जान गँवाई॥ तुन्हें कछु लाज न आई।

Paired Painting
Kaliya's Wives and Krishna
This exquisite painting captures a profound moment of divine grace and cosmic reconciliation from the Bhagavata Purana. Lord Krishna dances victoriously upon the hoods of the venomous serpent king Kaliya, whose poisonous waters once terrorized the Yamuna riverbank. Yet, in this breathtaking Pahari masterpiece, the terrifying spectacle of subjugation transforms into a scene of sublime compassion. Kaliya's devoted wives emerge from the swirling river currents, their lower bodies adorned in radiant serpent tails, pressing their palms together in desperate, pleading prayer. They implore the divine child to spare their husband's life, and their heartfelt devotion melts the sternness of justice into mercy. The lush forests of Vrindavana and the swirling, gentle waves of the Yamuna frame the encounter, evoking an eternal realm where nature itself bows to the divine play of love and redemption.
