कहावत ऐसे दानी दानि। चारि पदारथ दिये सुदामहिं, अरु गुरु को सुत आनि॥ रावन के दस मस्तक छेद, सर हति सारंगपानि। लंका राज बिभीषन दीनों पूरबली पहिचानि। मित्र सुदामा कियो अचानक प्रीति पुरातन जानि। सूरदास सों कहा निठुरई, नैननि हूं की हानि॥

Krishna welcoming Sudama, from a Bhagavata Purana
This exquisite miniature folio captures one of the most tender and emotionally stirring episodes from the Bhagavata Purana, illustrating the profound reunion between Lord Krishna and his childhood friend Sudama. Sudama, impoverished and humble, approaches the opulent palace of Dwarka, carrying only a modest bundle of beaten rice as a gift for his divine friend. Upon seeing him, Lord Krishna abandons all royal protocol, rushing barefoot to embrace Sudama with tears of unconditional love. In this painted moment, the barriers of wealth and status dissolve entirely, revealing the eternal power of true devotion and spiritual kinship. The delicate brushwork and soft color palette reflect the lyrical grace of Indian miniature painting traditions, where divine affection is rendered with deeply human warmth and reverence.
