The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Shookdeo Jee said,--Raja! Shree Krishnù Chund, having thus inspired
the brahmin with confidence, said, “As a burning flame comes forth
from wood by rubbing it, so will I bring away the beauteous Rookmunee,
having destroyed the army of wicked demons.”
Having thus spoken, and arrayed himself in an elegant and handsome
dress, covered with jewels, Krishnù went to the Raja Oogursen, and
said with joined hands, “O great king! Bheekmuk, the Raja of
Koondulpore, has written me a letter, offering his daughter, which he
has sent by the hand of his family priest, and has invited me to come
alone; with your permission I will go, and, having married his
daughter, bring her here.” Oogursen said in reply, “Why have you fixed
your affections in so distant a country? You are going there alone,
Moorari; avoid entering into quarrels, or wrangling with any one; who
will send us intelligence here of you?” Oogursen afterwards added,
“Well, if you must go there, take all your army with you, and go
accompanied by your brother, and return quickly after the marriage; do
not fight or quarrel with any one there; because you will live long
and will be able to obtain many very beautiful women.” On receiving
his permission, Shree Krishnù Chund said to Oogursen, “O great king!
you have spoken truly, but I will proceed in advance; and please send
Bulram Jee after me with the army.” With these words, Huri took leave
of Oogursen and Basoodeo; and, having gone to the brahmin, sent for
his ruth, and Daruk, his charioteer. On receiving Krishnù’s order, he
immediately harnessed a chariot with four horses, on which Shree
Krishnù ascended; and, having seated the brahmin by his side,
proceeded from Dwarka to Koondulpore. On emerging from the city, he
saw herds of deer running on his right hand; and lions and lionesses,
rushing roaring from opposite him, with their food.
