The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing these words, the abode of mercy, Shree Krishnù,
compassionately placed his hand on Soobhugdunt’s head, and caused him
to be free from all fear of him. Then Bhogawuttee, the wife of
Bhomasoor, having brought many gifts to Huri, standing before him with
joined hands, and bowing her head, said with the greatest humility, “O
kind to the poor compassionate being, as you have fulfilled all our
desires by showing yourself to us, be pleased now to make our houses
pure by going to them.”
On hearing this request, Shree Moorari, acquainted with the secrets of
the heart, the friend of his worshippers, went to the house of
Bhomasoor. The mother and sons, having spread silken cloths for
Krishnù to walk upon; and having accompanied him into the house,
seated him upon a throne; and having given him an oblation with eight
ingredients, and taken the water with which his feet had been washed,
said, with the greatest submissiveness, “O lord of the three worlds!
you have done well, in having destroyed this great demon; who that has
done acts of enmity towards Krishnù, has ever obtained happiness in
the world? Rawun, Kanbhkurun, Kuns and others, who were your enemies,
have lost their lives; and whatsoever persons have borne malice toward
you, have none in the world to perform the commonest offices for
them.” Bhomawutee proceeded to say, “O lord! listen to my
supplication; and, looking upon Soobhugdunt as your servant, be
pleased to marry the sixteen thousand one hundred young unmarried
daughters of Rajas, whom his father kept confined.”
Having thus spoken, she, O great king! brought out all the young
daughters of Rajas into the presence of Krishnù, and arranged them in
rows. On seeing the light of the world, the sea of beauty, Shree
Krishnù Chund, the root of joy, they were fascinated; and imploring
him earnestly, and with expressions of deep grief, they said, joining
their hands, “O lord! as you have come and released us, poor, weak
creatures, from the bonds of this great affliction, be pleased now to
show us favour, and take us with you, and permit us, your servants, to
attend upon you.”
