Chaurpanchasika Verse 20
The illustrations of such explicit verses of Chaurapanchasika were probably never painted. This perticular painting is the illustration of verse no. 20.
This painting is quite complicated compositionally as well as in terms of symbolic imagery. Against the dark night, indicated by black colour, is placed a masonary structure in a vast horizontal arrangement, supporting a blank entrance on the left and a horizontal lotus pond behind which is situated the pavilion. This provides the space for positioning the nayika and her maid who carries a fly whisk over her mistress. The nayika bowed by the weight of her breasts, is a frequent utterence by the poet. Thus, the painter consistently delineates the breasts as a globular pair in overlapping three-quarter view in each painting. The angular corners of the odhanis are made conspicuous to entrance the curvaceous bodies of the female figures. This entire ensemble is the painter's pictorial para-phrase for the nayika, who signifies the shining flag on the Mandora Hill, which is the figure of speech coined by the poet in this stanza.
