The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having thus spoken, and having had Krishnù comfortably housed, Raja
Bheekmuk returned to his own palace, and reflecting began to say,
“Every one knows the exploits of Huri; who can say, how his arrival
here has been brought about?” And all the inhabitants of the city,
male and female, came to where Shree Krishnù and Buldeo were, and
sung of their renowned actions, and celebrated their praises, saying
to each other, “Rookmunee is a fit bride for Shree Krishnù. Bruhmù
grant that this match may take place, and last long.” In the mean
while, upon a sudden thought the two brothers went to look at the
city; crowds of men and women were collected at every market, road and
cross-road, to which the two brothers went; who sprinkling perfumes
and sandal, and rose-water, and raining down flowers on them stretched
out their hands, and pointed out the two brothers to each other:
“Bulram is dressed in blue, and Krishnù in yellow silk, they have
crowns on their heads, and tremulous ear-rings; their lotus eyes, wish
to steal away our hearts.” The two brothers went on viewing the city;
at length, having seen all the city and the forces of Raja Sissoopal,
they returned to their own army.
On hearing of their arrival, Raja Bheekmuk’s eldest son was
exceedingly wroth, and going to his father began to say, “Say, truly,
at whose invitation has Shree Krishnù come here? I cannot understand
how he can have come, without being invited. A marriage is an occasion
and affair of pleasure, what business has he here? Wherever these two
deceitful, perverse creatures go, they occasion injury. If you value
your own welfare, tell me, truly, by whom were they invited?”
O great king! Rookum having thus endeavoured to terrify his father,
rose and went thence, uneasy and disturbed in mind, to the court of
Sissoopal and Joorasindhoo, and said to them, “Bulram and Krishnù
have come here; inform all your people of this, that they may be on
their guard.”
