The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having thus spoken, and ordered the mixture rolee, rice, a rupee and a
cocoanut to be brought, Oogursen marked the brahmin’s forehead; and
presenting him with the rupee and cocoanut allowed him to depart. He
pursued his journey, and arrived at the abode of the Raja Rewut in the
Anurta country. Having betrothed Bulram Jee to his daughter Rewutee,
and fixed upon a favourable moment, he brought the marks for the
forehead by the hands of the Raja’s brahmin, and presented them to
Oogursen at Dwarka; and informed him of all that had occurred, while
he was in the Raja’s country. The Raja Oogursen was very much pleased
with the account; and, giving a festive entertainment, he sent for the
brahmin, who had brought the marks, and received them from him; and
dismissed him with a large present of money, and afterwards went
himself in great splendour and state, accompanied by all the
descendants of Judoo, to the country of Anurta, and celebrated Bulram
Jee’s marriage.
Having proceeded thus far in the narrative, Shree Shookdeo, the sage,
said to the Raja,--O lord of the earth! in this manner the descendants
of Judoo celebrated Bulram’s marriage. And Shree Krishnù Chund Jee,
accompanied by his brother, went to Koondulpore; and having fought
with evil spirits, carried off Rookmunee, the daughter of the Raja
Bheekmuk, who had been betrothed to Sissoopal; and married her at his
own home.
Having heard this, the Raja Pureechit enquired from Shree Shookdeo
Jee, “O sea of compassion! how did Shree Krishnù Chund go to
Koondulpore, and slay the evil spirits, and carry off Bheekmuk’s
daughter, Rookmunee? Please explain these circumstances to me.” Shree
Shookdeo Jee replied, O great king! listen with attention, and I will
give you a full account of all the circumstances.
In the Bidurbh country there was a city, named Koondulpore, the Raja
of which, Bheekmuk, was renowned, and known to fame in all parts of
the world. Shree Seeta Jee descended upon the earth in his house. At
the birth of his daughter, the Raja sent for astrologers, who came,
and having determined upon a fortunate moment, named the child
Rookmunee, and said, “O great king! we are of opinion, that this girl
will possess an excellent disposition, be a receptacle of beauty, and
equal Luchmee in excellent qualities, and be married to the first
male, Vishnù.”
