O great king! when the Raja would not acquiesce in his opinion, his younger son, whose name was Rookumkesh, said, “Father! give Rookmunee to Krishnù, and betroth her through Basoodeo.” Bheekmuk was highly delighted at these words, and commended his son’s speech: “You, although only a child, are more intelligent than the rest, I approve entirely of what you have said; there is a saying, enquire from persons of high and low degree, in order to give confidence to your own judgment; seize upon what is valuable in the discourse of each; this is the custom of the world.” After this the Raja again said, “Rookumkesh has given good counsel; amongst the descendants of Judoo, the Raja Soorsen is very celebrated and of great renown, whose son Basoodeo Jee is; and in his house the immortal Vishnù, the god of gods, Shree Krishnù Chund Jee, has been born, and destroyed the mighty Kuns, and all evil spirits; and, having removed the burthens of the earth, has shed splendour on the family of Judoo, and conferred happiness on all the descendants of Judoo, and other subjects; we shall acquire fame and greatness in the world by bestowing Rookmunee on such a personage as Shree Krishnù Chund Jee, the lord of Dwarka.” At these words, all the people of the court were highly delighted, and said, “O great king! you have determined well, and will not meet with such a bridegroom, and of so good a family any where else. It is, therefore, most advisable to give Rookmunee in marriage to Shree Krishnù Chund Jee.”
