पालनैं गोपाल झुलावैं । सुर मुनि देव कोटि तैंतीसौ कौतुक अंबर छावैं ॥१॥ जाकौ अन्त न ब्रह्मा जाने, सिव सनकादि न पावैं । सो अब देखो नन्द जसोदा, हरषि हरषि हलरावैं ॥२॥ हुलसत हँसत करत किलकारी मन अभिलाष बढावैं । सूर श्याम भक्तन हित कारन नाना भेष बनावै ॥३॥

Anasuya and the Trimurti as Infants
This profound lithograph captures a moment of supreme cosmic irony and grace from the Puranas. The sage wife Anasuya, renowned for her absolute devotion and purity, is shown presenting the three supreme deities: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, who have been transformed into infants while resting in a swinging cradle. The three goddesses, Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati, stand before her, witnessing the divine play of their husbands. It is a moment that humbles the divine through the power of mortal virtue, illustrating the deep cultural reverence for motherhood and the leveling power of unconditional love.
