The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing these words, a stream of milk came forth from the breast of
Rookmunee Jee, and her left arm began to shake; and her mind was in a
state of fear and agitation for the meeting; but without her husband’s
permission, she could not meet him. At that time, Narud Jee came
there, and related all the preceding history, and tranquillized the
minds of them all; then Rookmunee Jee ran forward, and kissing her
son’s head, clasped him to her bosom; and having his marriage
celebrated with all due forms and ceremonies, received her son and
daughter-in-law into her house. At that time, all the descendants of
Judoo, men and women, came and joined in festive rejoicings, and were
highly delighted. Songs of congratulation resounded in every house,
and happiness was diffused throughout the city of Dwarka.
Having recited thus much of the narrative, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! Purdiyomun having thus been born,
having spent his childhood in another place, killed his enemy, and
came with Ruti to the city of Dwarka, there was joy and festivity in
every house.
CHAPTER LVII.
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! Suttrajeet charged Shree
Krishnù Chund first with the theft of a jewel; and afterwards,
finding his accusation to be false, he was ashamed, and gave his
daughter Sutbhama in marriage to Huri. Raja Pureechit enquired from
Shree Shookdeo Jee, “O abode of compassion! who was Suttrajeet, where
did he obtain the jewel, and how did he accuse Huri of theft, and
afterwards finding the charge false, in what manner did he give his
daughter in marriage; explain these circumstances to me?” Shree
Shookdeo Jee replied,--O great king! be pleased to listen, and I will
explain all the circumstances. Suttrajeet belonged to the family of
Judoo, who for a long time was engaged in an act of very difficult
religious penance in honour of the sun. The sun-god was highly
gratified, called him and having given him a jewel, said, “This
jewel’s name is Soomuntka, it contains an unbounded power of
conferring happiness and wealth; worship it continually, and look upon
it as equal to me in power and splendour; if you meditate upon it,
having offered up prayers, and performed acts of penance, abstinence
and fasting, you shall obtain whatever you ask for; into whatever
country, city and house this jewel shall enter, there misery, poverty
and death shall not have access. There shall be constant plenty and
increase, and prosperity.”
O great king! having thus spoken the sun-god allowed Suttrajeet to
take leave; who went home with the jewel. After this, rising, early
and performing his morning ablutions, and finishing his religious
meditations and libations, he was in the habit of offering adoration
to the jewel, with unbroken rice, flowers, sandal, perfumes, lamps and
consecrated food; and taking away the eight loads of gold, which came
from the jewel, he was delighted.
