The illustration reflects the poem l??la tum??r?? mural?? nainka vaj??un (“Dear, let me play your Mural?? for a moment”), which bears the signature of S??rd??s but is absent from the N??gar??prac??ri????? Sabh?? edition of the S??rs??gar. The painting’s inscribed poem is drawn from the enormous corpus of devotional poetry ascribed to the poet S??rd??s (1478–1573) and his followers. It was presumably not written by S??rd??s himself, though it bears his characteristic signature — as it first appears in the extended S??rd??s corpus in a manuscript dated 1686 written at Chatsu by a scribe from Gokul.
