Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
listen to my supplications, and save me from Fire.”
O great king! when the demon Mye had thus spoken, the deity of fire
laid hold of his fiery arrows; and even Urjoon started with amazement.
At length, they both took Mye with them to Shree Krishnù Chund, the
root of joy, and said, “O great king! this demon Mye will be of use,
and will build a place of abode for you. Take thought now of Mye; and,
having extinguished the fire, banish all his fears.” Having thus
spoken, Urjoon placed his bow, Gandeeb, and arrows upon the ground;
and Krishnù, looking towards the deity of fire, made a sign by
winking his eye, and the fire was put out immediately; and the whole
forest became cool. Shree Krishnù Chund then went on with Urjoon and
Mye. There Mye erected, in a second, a most beautiful, elegant and
fascinating house of gold, studded with gems; a description of the
beauty of which is impossible; whoever came to see it, stood gazing
like a picture with astonishment. Shree Krishnù Jee remained there
four months, and came thence to the royal court of Joodisthur; and, on
arrival, he solicited the Raja’s permission to go to Dwarka; when they
heard this request, Raja Joodisthur and his whole court were very sad,
and there was great anxiety amongst the women in the female
apartments. At length Krishnù having entered into suitable
explanations with them all, and inspired them with confidence, took
leave of Joodisthur, accompanied by Urjoon. Having left Hustinapoor,
he arrived in a few days, after a very pleasant trip, at Dwarka. Joy
was spread through the city on the news of his arrival; and the pangs
of separation, which they had all endured, were felt no longer. His
mother and father, on seeing their son’s face were delighted; and
forgot all their sorrows. Shree Krishnù Jee went, on a subsequent
day, to the Raja Oogursen, and explained the history of Kalindee, “O
great king! I have brought Kalindee, the daughter of the sun, marry
her to me in the manner prescribed by the Vedas.” On hearing this,
Oogursen gave an order to one of his ministers “To go immediately and
prepare all things necessary for the marriage.” On receipt of the
order, the minister immediately procured all that was required.
Oogursen and Basoodeo then sent for an astrologer, and having fixed
upon a lucky day, united Shree Krishnù Jee in marriage to Kalindee,
according to the forms and ceremonies prescribed by the Vedas.
