The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! the councillor having thus expostulated, returned home
with Joorasindhoo, and all the demons, who had fled from the battle;
and there began to assemble another army. Shree Krishnù and Bulram
saw blood flowing in a stream on the battle-field, in which chariots
without their charioteers were carried along like boats; in different
places the dead elephants appeared like hills, from whose wounds blood
spouted forth like springs. There Muhadeo, accompanied by goblins and
spirits, and wearing a necklace of human heads, was dancing and
singing in the greatest glee; and female spirits and goblins, and the
attendants of Devee were drinking blood out of skulls; vultures,
jackalls and crows were devouring the bodies, and contending with each
other for the flesh.
Having recited thus much, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! the
regent of the winds collected all the chariots, elephants, horses and
demons together, and fire burnt them to ashes in a second. The five
elements were re-united with each other, all saw them come but no one
saw where they departed. Having thus put the demons to death, and
removed the burthens of the earth, Shree Krishnù and Bulram, the
benefactors of their worshippers, came to Oogursen, and, making a
salutation, said with joined hands, “O great king! through your
excellence and majesty, we have destroyed and routed the army of the
demons, rule now without fear, and promote the happiness of your
subjects.” The Raja Oogursen was very much pleased at these words, and
made great rejoicings, and began to rule with justice.
After some time, Joorasindhoo came forth to attack with another army
as large as the former one, which Shree Krishnù and Buldeo destroyed
and dispersed as before. In this manner, Joorasindhoo attacked
seventeen times with his twenty-three armies, which Krishnù drove
back, after having inflicted great slaughter on them.
After reciting thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo, the sage,
said to the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! at this time upon a sudden
thought Narud Jee rose, and went off to the abode of Kaljumun. On
seeing him, he stood up with all his court, and making a salutation,
enquired in a respectful manner, and with joined hands, the reason of
his coming. At these words Narud, after a little thought, said,
“Bulbhuddrù and Krishnù are at Muttra, no one, except you, can drive
them away, Joorasindhoo has not met with any success. You are immortal
and very powerful, Buldeo and Huri are children.” Narud Jee added, “Do
not cease to follow him, whom you observe of the colour of the clouds,
with lotus eyes, a very elegant person dressed in yellow silk, and
with a yellow scarf.”
