शाम बन्सीवाला कन्हैया। मैं ना बोलूं तुजसेरे॥ध्रु०॥ घर मेरा दूर घगरी मोरी भारी। पतली कमर लचकायरे॥१॥ सास नंनदके लाजसे मरत हूं। हमसे करत बलजोरी॥२॥ मीरा तुमसो बिगरी। चरणकमलकी उपासीरे॥३॥

Paired Painting
Arjuna and Ulupi
This captivating illustration immortalizes a wondrous encounter from the Mahabharata, where the heroic Pandava prince Arjuna descends into the mystical watery realm and meets Ulupi, the luminous naga princess. Warwick Goble captures the ethereal grace of the serpent queen as she emerges from the lotus-strewn depths to greet the valiant warrior, whose bow and quiver rest ready upon his shoulder. The artwork serves as a profound bridge between Eastern epic storytelling and Western illustrative mastery, evoking a timeless realm where mortals and celestial beings entwine in destiny.
