svinnāṅguliviniveśo rekhāprānteṣu dṛśyate malinaḥ /
aśru ca kapolapatitaṃ dṛśyam idaṃ varṇikocchvāsāt //
caturike ardhalikhitam etad vinodasthānam / gaccha / vartikāṃ tāvad ānaya /
caturikā ārya mādhavya avalambasva citraphalakaṃ yāvad āgacchāmi /
See where discolorations faint
Of loving handling tell;
And here the swelling of the paint
Shows where my sad tears fell.
[paragraph continues] Chaturika, I have not finished the background. Go, get the brushes.
Maid. Please hold the picture, Madhavya, while I am gone.
