Krishna has been left on the cot beside Yashoda. This juxtaposition highlights the emotional contrast of the scene, with Yashoda seemingly unaware of the separation that is taking place.
On the top right, Yashoda's child is being placed beside Devaki, indicating a transfer of care and responsibility to another figure in the story.
