From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

While Radha waits for Krishna in her bower, he is flirting with other women of the cowherding community. Like a fickle lover, sometimes god abandons his devotee and showers blessings on others. Radha's companion comes to bring her the news of Krishna's playful, erotic activities. The Yamuna River flows across the bottom of the page.
