PLATE ONE
“After taking bath at Govinda-kuṇḍa, Mādhavendra Purī sat beneath a tree to take his evening rest. While he was sitting beneath the tree, an unknown cowherd boy came with a pot of milk, placed it before Mādhavendra Purī, and, smiling, addressed him as follows. ‘Please drink the milk I have brought. Why don’t you beg some food to eat? What kind of meditation are you undergoing?’ When he saw the beauty of that boy, Mādhavendra Purī became very satisfied. Hearing His sweet words, he forgot all hunger and thirst.” ( pp.12-13 )
