The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing the names of the two brothers, Raja Sissoopal looking back
upon the exploits and history of Huri became low-spirited, and began
to be very thoughtful, and Joorasindhoo said, “Wherever these two come
they commit some violence or other, they are very powerful, and
treacherous. In Bruj they have slain with ease Kuns and other mighty
demons; do not look upon them as children, they have never been
defeated in any encounter. Shree Krishnù destroyed my army seventeen
times; when I attacked the eighteenth time, he ran away, and climbed
up a mountain, which I set on fire, and he, by some trick, escaped to
Dwarka. No one understands Krishnù’s nature, he has come here to
commit violence. He is very deceitful, and will practise great deceit,
and no one will be able to understand him. Arrange, therefore, your
plans, so that our characters may be preserved.” When Joorasindhoo had
thus spoken Rookum replied, “What things are they, that you are so
apprehensive about them? I know them well; they wander about the
jungles, singing and dancing, and playing the flute, and tending
herds. What do those village children know of the science of war?
Banish all anxiety from your mind, I will in a second repel and slay
Shree Krishnù and Bulram, and all the descendants of Judoo.”
Shree Shookdeo Jee said, O great king! Rookum returned home that day
after having entered into explanations with Joorasindhoo and
Sissoopal, and inspired them with confidence, and they spent the night
in uneasiness.
In the morning Rajas Sissoopal and Joorasindhoo, considering it the
marriage-day, were engaged in all the bustle and preparation of
bringing forth the marriage procession: and there were festive
rejoicings also at the palace of the Raja Bheekmuk. In the mean while
Rookmunee Jee sent a message to Shree Krishnù Chund by a brahmin,
saying, “O abode of kindness! this is the marriage-day; when two
ghurees of the day are left, I will go to perform poojah at a temple
of Dewee, eastward of the city. My modesty and good name have been
entrusted to you; act, so that they may be preserved.”
