- ... that the Yogini with a Mynah Bird has been described as a "Medusa-like" sorceress symbolizing "seductive heresies"?
- Source: Zebrowski, Mark (1983). Deccani painting. p. 104.
In the Dublin picture (82 and col. pl. x11), she appears asa religious mendicant, or yogini, her body smeared with ash, endowed with special powers resulting from severe austerities. Her magical, rather than her saintly qualities are stressed. She is a sorceress, wearing extravagant jewels, secretly communicating with a bird. Her face is strange and exotic, like a ferangi, or European. Fantastic plants undulate beside her. Her gleaming palace beckons to us, but its stony whiteness is like a tomb. Ibrahim Adil Shah, himself immersed in unorthodox rites, must have been intrigued by the picture's dark ambiguities. The Yogini may symbolize the seductive heresies which rivalled Islam for the young king's mind.
