Sul dipinto
This painting is one of a series of illustrations to the Bhagavata Purana, a Sanskrit text whose tenth book deals with the life of the god Krishna. Krishna, blue-skinned, is shown with his brother Balarama in the centre. At the end of their tuition their guru Sandipani, shown seated with his wife, asked as his teaching-price the return of his drowned son. Krishna and Balarama drove their chariot to the coast, slew the marine demon who had killed the boy, then went to Yama, the god of death, who returned the child to them.
