Chaurpanchasika Verse 24
This perticular painting also has elements which are derived from verse 23. This is to prove that the Chaurapanchasika painter keeps going back and forth and derives his imagery accordingly. In verse 24 the poet expresses how he is tormented by the supreme beauty of Champavati's every limb delineated by the painter showing him pointing out the index finger of his right hand (suchi hasta), an indication for uniqueness (equivalent to prathama). He is seated in a complicated squatting posture, his knees are wrapped and supported by a yogapatta, while the four corners of his angarakha dangle from each of the knees. The nayika's delineation picturizes the beautiful source of finest flavour of love-drama, whose heavy breasts are conspicuous. It answer's the metaphor from verse 23 in which the breasts are compared to the kumbha, vessel of nectar which is not to be swallowed but the mere touch of which energizes. In the adjacent pavilion is delineated the bed, over which is hanging the chamara, the whisk, representing the carnal passion provoked by love-god's arrows.
