专家说明

The Balakanda or 'the book of childhood' is the first book of Valmiki's Ramayana. This folio being the third folio was close to the beginning of the manuscript. It is therefore probable that an image of Ganesha was chosen for this illustration to provide the text with auspicious blessings for the start of the text.
