The order refers to the wish of Indra to transfer the foetus of Devānandā to the womb of Triśalā. In the centre of the miniature the four-handed Indra is seated on the throne. In the upper right hand he holds the thunderbolt; with the lower right hand he seems to be taking something from the *chaurī*-bearer; both the left hands are free. On the right stands Harinaigamesha with folded hands. The patterns on the costumes of the three figures are different.
