The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O lord of the earth! I will give an
account now how Shree Krishnù Chund brought Brindabun to mind; listen
attentively. One day Huri said to Bulram Jee, “Brother! all the
inhabitants of Brindabun must be very much grieved on thinking of me,
because the time has elapsed, in which I promised to return. We ought
therefore, to send some one there, to console them for my absence.”
Having thus advised his brother, Huri sent for Oodho, and said to him,
“Oodho! you are a great friend of mine; and are wise and intelligent,
and resolute. I therefore wish to send you to Brindabun to offer
explanations and consolation to Nund and Jusodha, and the
cowherdesses, and to bring my mother Rohnee here.” Oodho expressed an
immediate readiness to comply with this request. Shree Krishnù Chund
again said, “First of all, inform Nund and Jusodha, and cheer up their
spirits, and suggest to them to abandon all grief, and to look upon my
arrival as near at hand; and not to regard me as their son, but
worship me as a deity. Afterwards explain to those cowherdesses, who
for my sake have given up all respect for the world and for the Vedas,
and day and night sing of my sports, and are ready to die, if I do not
fulfil their expectation of my returning, that they must no longer
consider me as their lord, but worship me as Bhugwan, and lay aside
all the anxiety they now suffer in consequence of my separation from
them.”
O great king! having thus instructed Oodho, the two brothers wrote a
letter, in which they expressed to Nund and Jusodha, and the cowherds
and their children their respects and compliments, and blessing in due
form: and advised all the women of Bruj to perform penance, and
delivered the letter to Oodho, and told him to read it to them; and
after having made the necessary explanations to return quickly. Having
given him this message, Krishnù dressed Oodho in his own clothes, and
gave him his own jewels and crown, and seating him on his own ruth,
allowed him to depart to Brindabun. Proceeding on his journey, Oodho
reached the neighbourhood of Brindabun after a short time, and on
arrival there, heard birds singing melodiously in the thickly stocked
arbours, and cows of all colours, scattered like clouds in every
direction--and the cowherdesses and cowherds, with their children,
singing the praises of Shree Krishnù.
He was delighted at the beauty of the scene, and making obeisance to
the site of Krishnù’s sports, arrived at the outskirts of the
village, when some one having recognized the ruth of Huri from a
distance came and having enquired his name, went to Nund and said, “O
great king! a person, named Oodho, has arrived from Muttra, in the
appearance and ruth of Shree Krishnù.”
