This is an illustration from Canto XII of the Gita Govinda. Krishna ties the tresses of Radha on the River Bank. The painting is unique in the sense that for the first time we see a cypress tree in a Kangra painting. Gita Govinda thus concludes:

rachaya kuchayoschitram
patram kurushva kapolayor
ghataya jaghane kanchim
mugdhasraja kabari bharam

kalaya valayasrenim panau
pade maninupura
viti nigaditah pritah
pitambaropi tatha karot

yadgandharva kalasu kausala
manu dhyanam cha yad vaishnavam
yachchrin garavivek atatt
vamapi yat kavyeshu lilayitam

tatsarvam jayadeva panditkaveh
krishnaikatan atmanah
sanandah parisodhayantu
sudhiyah srigita govindatah

"While she spoke, Krishna triumphed; and obeying her sportful behests, he placed musky spots on her bosom and forehead, dyed her temples with radiant hues, embellished her eyes with kajal, decked her braided hair and her neck with fresh garlands, and tied on her wrists loosened bracelets, on her ankles the beamy rings, and around her waist the zone of bells, that sounded with ravishing melody.

Whatever is delightful in the modes of music, whatever is divine in meditations on Vishnu, whatever is exquisite in the sweet art of love, whatever is graceful in the fine strains of poetry, all that let the happy and wise learn from the songs of Jayadeva whose soul is united with the foot of Narayana."
