The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having obtained this order, all made their obeisance and departed, and
after coming to the city, searching for and seizing the members of the
family of Judoo, they began to bind them,--and whether they were
eating, drinking, standing, sitting, asleep, awake, or going to and
fro from place to place, they did not let go a single one; and having
surrounded them, they brought them into one place, and put them all to
death by burning, drowning, dashing them against stones, and other
tortures.--In this manner, all the devils both great and small,
assuming various frightful shapes, began to search every city,
village, lane, and house for the members of the family of Judoo, and
to destroy them; and the family of Judoo being distressed, and
abandoning their country, fled, taking only their lives with them. All
this time, all the other wives of Basoodeo came with Rohnee from
Muttra to Gokool, where Basoodeo’s chief friend, Nund Jee was
dwelling, who received them with great affection, and restored them to
confidence, and they dwelt in his house with great delight. When Kuns
began thus to vex the gods, and to commit great crimes, Vishnù
created an illusive form from his eyes, which, joining its hands, came
before him. Vishnù said to it, “Go thou now, and make a descent into
the city of Muttra, where the demon Kuns is causing distress to my
worshippers, and Kusyp and Adit, that is, Jusodha and Dewukee, have
gone; Kuns has closely confined them, and put six of their children to
death; the seventh in the womb now is Luchman Jee, whom having taken
from the womb of Dewukee, and carried to Gokool, place in such a
manner in the womb of Rohnee, that no devil may know of it, and all
the people of that part of the country will celebrate your praises.”
Having thus instructed the illusive form, Shree Narayun said, “Having
first gone, and completed this work, be born in the house of Nund, and
afterwards in that of Basoodeo; I also will come to Nund’s house.” On
hearing this, the illusive form came quickly to Muttra, and entered
the house of Basoodeo, in the form of Mohnee. The fœtus she took away
secretly, she went and gave to Rohnee; all people thought it her first
pregnancy--Bhugwan was born from Rohnee.
