介绍（中）	这两个大幅面对开本来自一系列重要的绘画作品，描绘了年轻的克里希纳的功绩中的开创性时刻，正如印度教史诗《薄伽梵书》第十卷所描述的那样。这种大幅面是尼泊尔绘画的特点，可以归因于印度，可能是拉吉普特，宫廷绘画风格的影响。18世纪尼泊尔的统治者声称拥有拉吉普特人的祖先，他们的宫廷文化模仿了许多被理解为拉吉普特的东西。这幅画是一个雄心勃勃的系列的一部分，该系列编号约为100对开本，现已分散，所有开本都显示了相同的尺寸、独特的红色边界和复杂建筑结构的空中视角，这些特征与后来的乌代浦宫廷画共有对开本一场景描绘了克利须那和鲁克米尼的儿子普拉德尤姆纳（nee Kama，爱神），他出生后不久就被一个恶魔绑架了。作为一个年轻人，普拉迪尤姆娜最终在拉蒂和她的魔力的帮助下击败了恶魔。他们结婚了，一起回到了他的祖居Dwarka，这就是故事的背景 Folio II这一场景描绘了克里希纳与阿诸那一起乘坐马车开始狩猎探险，离开潘达瓦部族的家园Indraprastha宫殿，即将进入一个充满野生动物的森林景观。
介绍（英）	These two large format folios are from an important series of paintings illustrating seminal moments in the exploits of the young Krishna, as described in Book Ten of the Hindu epic the Bhagavata Purana. The large format is uncharacteristic of Nepali painting and can be attributed to the influence of Indian, probably Rajput, court painting styles. The rulers of 18th century Nepal claimed Rajput ancestry and their court culture emulated much that was understood as Rajput. This painting is part of an ambitious series numbering around 100 folios, now dispersed, which all display the same dimensions, the distinctive red border and the aerial perspectives onto complex architectural constructions, features shared with the later court painting of Udaipur. Folio I. Scene depicts Pradyumna (nee Kama, god of love), the son of Krishna and Rukmini, who had been kidnapped by a demon soon after his birth. As a young man Pradyumna finally defeats the demon with the assistance of Rati and her magical powers. They marry and together return to his ancestral palace of Dwarka, the setting of this narrative. Folio II This scene depict Krishna setting off by carriage on a hunting expedition with Arjuna, having departed Indraprastha palace, the home of the Pandava clan, and about to enter a wondrous forested mountain landscape populated by wild animals.
