The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! Huri, having heard this,
fastened his girdle; and, having assumed seven different forms, went
and stood where the bulls were; no one saw what was done invisibly,
and Krishnù put strings in the noses of the seven at once. The bulls
stood as quietly as wooden bulls, whilst the strings were being
fastened in their noses; and when this was done, Krishnù led them
all, with one rope, to the court of the Raja. When the inhabitants of
the city beheld this exploit, they were all, both male and female,
astonished, and began to pour forth loud exclamations of praise. The
Raja Nugnujjit then sent for the family priest, and gave his daughter
in marriage according to the prescribed injunctions of the Vedas. Her
dowry consisted of ten thousand cows, nine lakhs of elephants, ten
lakhs of horses, seventy-three lakhs of chariots, and male and female
servants without number. When Shree Krishnù Chund departed thence,
taking the dowry with him, the Rajas of the country were greatly
enraged; and came and surrounded him on his way back. Urjoon destroyed
and put them to flight, with arrows; and Huri returned with them all
to Dwarka, happy and rejoicing. The inhabitants of the city, coming
out to meet him, and spreading silken cloths, brought Krishnù, in
musical procession, to the royal palace, and were amazed at seeing the
dowry. The people extolled Nugnujjit, and said, “This is a great
alliance. The Raja of Kuosul has done well in marrying his daughter to
Krishnù, and giving such a large dowry.”
O great king! the inhabitants of the city discoursed thus amongst
themselves, when Shree Krishnù Chund and Bulram arrived there; and
gave all Raja Nugnujjit’s dowry to Urjoon, and acquired a great
reputation in the world by the act.
I will now mention the circumstances, attending the marriage of Shree
Krishnù Jee with Bhudra: listen attentively, and at your ease.
Bhudra, the daughter of the Raja of Kykye, chose a husband for
herself, and wrote letters to all the neighbouring Rajas, who all
came, and were assembled together. Shree Krishnù Chund went also,
accompanied by Urjoon, and stood in the court amongst the rest of the
party. When the Raja’s daughter, looking at and observing the
different chiefs with a garland in her hand, came to the sea of
beauty, the light of the world, Shree Krishnù Chund, she was
fascinated, and threw the garland upon his neck. When her mother and
father saw this, they were delighted, and married their daughter to
Huri according to the Vedas; bestowing upon her an unbounded marriage
portion.
