Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having recited thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O
great king! Shree Krishnù Chund having thus married Bhudra, I will
now mention how he married Luchmuna. When Luchmuna, the daughter of
the very powerful and renowned Raja of Bhudrades, was marriageable,
she chose a husband for herself, and sent letters of invitation to the
Rajas of all countries; who came with great pomp and splendour, with
their armies arrayed and fully equipped; and sat down in the assembly
in well arranged rows. Shree Krishnù Chund Jee went there also,
accompanied by Urjoon; and as he stood amongst the rest of the party,
Luchmuna, having observed all who were present, came and threw a
garland on the neck of Krishnù. Her father married Luchmuna to him
according to the Vedas. All the Rajas who had come there, were greatly
abashed; and said to one another, “Let us see whether Krishnù will
take away Luchmuna while we are here.”
Having thus spoken, they all arranged their forces, and blocking up
the road, stood ready for battle. As Shree Krishnù Chund and Urjoon
advanced in the chariot with Luchmuna, they came and stopped them, and
began to fight. At length, after some time, Urjoon and Shree Krishnù
destroyed, and put them all to flight with arrows; and reached the
city of Dwarka, happy and rejoicing. On their arrival, there were
songs of congratulation and rejoicing in every house throughout the
city, according to the injunctions of the Vedas.
Having proceeded thus far in the narrative, Shree Shookdeo Jee
said,--O great king! in this manner Shree Krishnù Chund contracted
five marriages, and lived happily at Dwarka with his eight queens, who
were in constant attendance upon him. The queens’ names were Rohnee,
Jamwutee, Sutbhama, Kalindee, Mittrabinda, Sutya, Bhudra and Luchmuna.
