The Sanskrit text on the painting from Canto XII of the Gita Govinda reads:

nayana kuranga taranga
vikasanira sakare srutimandale
manasi japasavila sadhare
subhavesa nivesaya kundale

"Hang on my ears the jewelled ear-rings,
O accomplished youth,
Whence the antelopes of thine eyes
may run downwards and sport at pleasure."
