The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
One day whilst engaged in worship, beholding the beauty and brilliancy
of the jewel, he thought to himself,--“It will be a good act to take
this jewel and show it to Shree Krishnù Chund.” Having come to this
resolution, and fastening the jewel on his arm, Suttrajeet went to the
court of the descendants of Judoo. On seeing the brilliancy of the
jewel from a distance, the descendants of Judoo stood still with
admiration, and began to say to Shree Krishnù Jee, “O great king! the
sun is coming here from a longing desire to see you. Bruhmù, Roodrù,
Indrù and all the gods worship you; and meditating upon you during
the eight puhurs, sing of your celebrity. You are the immortal first
male, Vishnù, Luchmee has become your servant, and constantly waits
upon you. You are the god of all the gods. No one knows your nature.
Your attributes and qualities of mind are limitless; now, O lord! will
you be concealed, having come into the world?”
O great king! when the descendants of Judoo began to discourse thus,
on seeing Suttrajeet approach, Huri said, “This is not the sun; it is
Suttrajeet, one of the family of Judoo, who has obtained a jewel for
having performed an act of penance in honour of the sun. Its splendour
is equal to that of the sun. He is coming with that jewel, fastened on
his arm.”
O great king! whilst Shree Krishnù Jee was thus speaking, Suttrajeet
came and sat down in the court, where the descendants of Judoo were
playing at “_choupur_” and dice. The minds of all were fascinated by
beholding the brilliant lustre of the jewels, and Shree Krishnù Chund
remained also looking at it. Suttrajeet, then, upon something
occurring to his mind, took leave, and returned home; and afterwards
used constantly to come to the court with the jewel fastened about his
neck. One day, the descendants of Judoo said to Huri, “O great king!
take the jewel from Suttrajeet, and give it to Raja Oogursen and
obtain celebrity in the world. This jewel does not suit him, but is
fit for a Raja.”
