The painting depicts the life story of a beautiful Tibetan woman, Nangsa Wöbum, depicted here as Sitatara, of whom she is considered an emanation. This story is a popular subject often re-enacted in Tibetan opera. Nanga Wöbum suffered in an unhappy marriage and was abused by her husband and her husband's family, only to die from grief. Due to her good karma, she was returned to life by the Lord of Death, wherein she became a nun and devoted her life to sharing the Buddhist teachings with those same people who had earlier wronged her.

本唐卡紀載一名美麗藏族婦女Nangsa Wöbum的一生,她被認為是白度母原身。這則家喻戶曉的故事常在西藏戲曲重新演繹。Nangsa Wöbum在不幸福的婚姻中受盡折磨,被丈夫和親家虐待,最後因悲痛而死。由於她的善業,她被死亡之神送回人間並成為了一名尼姑,將其一生奉獻給那些早先虐待過她的人,分享佛教教義。
