Text
On verso in Sanskrit : "The bracelet on her hand is making no sound; the garment on her bosom does not stir; the gaze of her pupils is fixed; and her ear-rings dance no more. There is no difference between her and a painting on canvas, unless the ripple of a thrill is awakened in her on her hearing your name."
Paratext
On recto in Takri: "She who lies dazed or stupefied."
