Madhava is depicted in an emaciated form unlike his other representations in the manuscript.
Madhava sits in a tent with King Bikramaditya, who sits against a big bolster and is attended by a fly whisk bearer and two warriors. One man on the left fetches water from the river while another man wearing a lilac garment is fixing the tent.
