The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having narrated thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--Raja! When Jamwunt, having recognised Krishnù,
spoke thus, Shree Moorari, the friend of his worshippers, beholding
the attachment of Jamwunt, was delighted; and assuming the appearance
of Ram, appeared to him with a bow and arrows, and Jamwunt, having
prostrated himself so as to touch the ground with the eight principal
parts of his body, stood up; and joining his hands said, with the
greatest humility, “O sea of compassion and brother of the poor! with
your permission, I will explain my wishes.” Krishnù granted
permission. Then Jamwunt said, “O purifier of the guilty and lord of
the poor! it is the wish of my mind to give you this damsel, Jamwutee,
in marriage, and obtain celebrity and greatness in the world by so
doing.” Bhugwan replied, “If such is your desire, it is acceptable to
me.” When Krishnù had thus spoken, Jamwunt took sandal, unbroken
rice, flowers, perfumes, lamps and consecrated food, and worshipped
him; and afterwards married his daughter to him in the manner, and
with the ceremonies prescribed by the Vedas, giving her the jewel as a
part of her dowry.
Having related thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo, the sage,
said,--Raja! Shree Krishnù Chund, the root of joy, taking with him
Jamwutee and the jewel, came forth from the cave. And now be pleased
to listen to what befel the descendants of Judoo, and companions of
Pursen and Shree Krishnù, who were standing at the mouth of the cave.
When twenty-eight days had elapsed and Huri did not return, they went
thence, devoid of all hope; and came to Dwarka, troubled with all
kinds of perplexing thoughts, and shedding tears. The descendants of
Judoo were very much alarmed at the intelligence they brought; and
calling on the name of Shree Krishnù, and suffering great affliction,
they began to weep and lament; and there was mourning in all the
female apartments. At length, all the women being much agitated,
emaciated and in low spirits, went forth from the palace, and weeping
violently came to a temple of Devee, distant about a coss outside the
city. Having worshipped and propitiated Devee, joining their hands and
bowing their heads, they began to say, “O Devee! gods, men and sages,
all meditate upon thee, and receive from thee whatever boon they ask,
tell us, when will Shree Krishnù Chund, the root of joy, come?”
O great king! all the women sat down at the entrance of the temple,
and continued imploring Devee; Oogursen, Basoodeo, Buldeo and the
other descendants of Judoo were sitting in a state of great anxiety,
when Shree Krishnù, the immortal, the dweller in Dwarka, smiling and
bringing Jamwutee with him, came and stood in the royal court; all
were delighted at beholding the moon-like face of Krishnù. And on
hearing the good news of his arrival, all the women having worshipped
Devee, returned home; and began to engage in festive rejoicings.
