The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing these words Krishnù went eagerly into the sea; on
beholding Sunkhasoor, he killed him, and splitting his belly, cast out
his entrails. He did not find his spiritual preceptor’s son; and in
consequence thereof, expressed regret to Bulbhudrù, saying, “Brother!
I have destroyed Sunkhasoor to no purpose.” Bulram Jee replied, “It
does not matter, carry him now about with you.” On hearing this Huri
made that shell his weapon. The two brothers proceeding thence reached
the city of Jum, the region of the dead, the name of which is
Sunjumnee, and Dhurm Raj, the Raja thereof. On beholding them, Dhurm
Raj descended from his throne, and advancing to meet them, gave them a
most welcome reception. Having seated them on a throne, washed their
feet, and taken the water with which their feet had been washed, he
said, “Happy is this place! fortunate this city! which Krishnù has
visited, and fulfilled the supplications of his worshippers. Give me
some business to perform for you, that your servant may execute it.”
Krishnù replied, “Bring the son of my spiritual preceptor.”
When Huri had thus spoken, Dhurm Raj went off immediately and brought
the child, and joining his hands said in a tone of submission, “O lord
of compassion! through your favour I knew, beforehand, that you would
come to fetch the child, and have therefore taken the greatest care of
him; and have not yet restored him to life.” O great king! with these
words Dhurm Raj, presented the child to Huri, who immediately placed
him upon his ruth, and proceeding thence conveyed him in a short time
to the presence of his spiritual preceptor. The two brothers, joining
their hands said, “O divine preceptor! what further orders have you
for us?”
On hearing these words, and seeing his son, Sandeepun, the sage, was
highly delighted, and bestowing many benedictions on Shree Krishnù
and Bulram Jee said, “What more shall I ask, O Krishnù! you have
conferred the greatest happiness on me by restoring my son. Great will
be my renown from having had such pupils as you. Return home now; and
may you have a safe and pleasant journey.”
When the spiritual preceptor had given them this injunction, the two
brothers departed, after the usual ceremonies of obtaining permission
to go, and salutation; and ascending their ruth proceeded on their
journey, and arrived at Muttra. On hearing of their arrival, the Raja
Oogursen, together with Basoodeo and the inhabitants of the city, both
male and female, came forth to meet them. They met them outside the
city, and being greatly pleased brought Krishnù into the city in
musical procession, spreading silken cloths on the road for him to
walk upon. There were rejoicings and festivities in every house.
