This folio is the first in the series. The composition is set in a geometrical palatial setting with four chambers. In one room, a man dressed in royal garb holds a scale in front of Madhava. A woman curiously observes the scene from the chamber above. In the middle, a priest sits reading a text, and a warrior occupies the space at the right, holding his shield.- {{cite web|title=Madhava Faces a Man Holding a Scale, from a Madhavanala Kamakandala|url=false|author=|year=c. 1720|access-date=24 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
