(Fig. 34) Folio 39 B: The minister Sumati persuading queen Guņāvali to give the cock as a gift to the actors and dancers.
King Canda, the husband of Gunāvali, was magically transformed into a cock by his wicked stepmother Viramati. Guņāvalī carefully looked after the cock. A band of actors and pole-dancers who came to the city had in their troupe a woman who understood the speech of birds and animals. The cock made this lady understand the situation and advised her that her troupe should ask for a gift of the cock so as to keep it away from the dangerous Vīramati. The minister Sumati who came to know this persuaded the queen Guņāvali to part with her dear cock in the interest of its life.
The painting shows Gunavali with the cock perched on her hand and the minister sitting in front persuading her. In the foreground is standing the leader of the actors and looking at the two with eagerness. Carmine background. Size : 8 x 10.5 cm.
