The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing of this circumstance, the two brothers were greatly grieved
and perplexed; and ordered the charioteer, Daruk, to bring their
chariot, mounting which, they went to Hustinapoor, and descending
entered the court of the Roroos, and there beheld them all sitting,
emaciated and low-spirited; Doorjodhun was thoughtful; Bheekmuk was
shedding tears; Dritrasht was in great affliction, and tears were even
falling from the eyes of Dronacharuj; Bidooruth Jee was greatly
dispirited, and Gundharee was sitting near him. And the other wives of
the Roroos, thinking of the Pandoos, continued to weep and the whole
court was sad.
O great king! seeing this state of affairs, Shree Krishnù and Bulram
Jee went and sat near them, and made enquiries regarding the Pandoos:
but all remained silent, and would not divulge any thing.
Having narrated thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! Shree Krishnù and Bulram Jee,
having heard of the burning of the Pandoos went to Hustinapoor; and
there was in Dwarka a member of the family of Judoo, named Sutdhunwa,
to whom Sutbhama had been first betrothed. Akroor and Krutbruma went
together to him and both said to him, “Shree Krishnù and Bulram have
gone to Hustinapoor; now is your opportunity, take your revenge upon
Suttrajeet; because he has acted very wrongly towards you, in having
given a girl, who was betrothed to you, to Shree Krishnù; and, in
having abused you; there is no one here now to assist him.”
On hearing these words, Sutdhunwa rose in great wrath; and, having
gone in the night to the house of Suttrajeet, called out; and at
length, having by stratagem and force, put him to death, carried away
the jewel. After this Sutdhunwa, sitting alone in his house, began to
reflect, and to say to himself with regret, “By listening to Akroor’s
counsel, I have made an enemy of Krishnù; Krutbruma and Akroor both
came here, and advised me. If a good man speaks deceitfully, what
control can any one have over him?”
O great king! whilst Sutdhunwa, thus regretting, repeatedly exclaimed,
“No one has power over the future; the events of fate are not known by
any one;” the wife of Suttrajeet, on beholding her husband lying dead,
embraced his corpse, and wept and poured forth lamentations.
