"Friend give up your waywardness of mind. O dear friend do not torture me with your shyness. For a moment, the lord Kama forgive me, be steadfast in your gaze. May the handsome Krishna wearing peacock feathers on his head, putting lotus in his ears and holding the flute on his hand reveal himself to me now." (translated by Moti Chandra and Anand Krishna)" Inscriptions: (on left border) number 135; (above) sakshat darshana -"Seeing the lover face to face"; (reverse) Sanskrit text - see W. G. Archer, 1973, 1: 39.
