Description |
Part of a portfolio of sixty-three paintings of deities and daily life. Arjuna, perched on a high platform, aims his arrow at a large boar which rushes towards him. The green-complexioned hero, with his matted hair tied in a topknot and dressed in a deer skin, kneels on a tiger skin. A quiver hangs from his right shoulder and his stance expresses his concentration on aiming at the animal. Behind the platform on which Arjuna kneels is another platform, smaller and covered with fronds. Some diminutive trees in the foreground, among which the dark-complexioned Kirata (a form of Śiva ) appears, suggest the forest. Kirata wears headgear adorned with feathers. He wears sandals and a loose lower garment tied at the waist by a sash. He aims at the boar from behind. To the right of the page, in the background, Śiva emerges from the earth, followed by the green-complexioned Parvati. Śiva carries in his upper right and left hands the damaru (hour glass shaped drum) and the mriga (gazelle). In his lower hands he carries the magical pashupata astra, the weapon which will enable Arjuna to defeat the Kauravas |
