by Fattu. Bhagwat Puran Series
Kangra School. Mid-18th century AD.
Once Krishna's family was worshiping the Devi at night, when suddenly a python came a bit Nanda who was sleeping. While some Gopas rushed to Nanda's rescue, Krishna stepped on the snake. The snake was relieved of his curse. Sudarshan, a Vidhyadar, emerged from the snake and bowed to Krishna.
Fattu has caught the commotion of the scene and contrasted it with the stillness of a starry night. On one side, the musicians play the drum and the horns; on the other side, the Gopas try to shoo away the python with the fire. The group of women sit and sing the hymns to the goddess; Krishna gently steps on the snake, releasing the young Vidhyadhar from his eternal curse. Interestingly, the men and women sit in segregation much as we do even today.
God not only saves us from our troubles, but also redeems us of our sins. He reforms us and gives us a new lease of life. He is the saviour.
