The cover depicts the final scene in the confrontation between Krishna and Narkasura. The uncertainty in the eyes of the huge elephant, as it teeters in front of the spinning Sudarshan Chakra, wielded by a smiling Krishna are beautifully depicted by the brush of the artist M. N. Nangare. The rich brocade on the elephant and the majestic howdah which seats the asura add another layer of detail.
