The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having narrated thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O king! after some delay, Bulram killed Rookum in
the sight of all present: and having thrown Kuling down, knocked out
all his teeth with blows, and said to him, “You also showed your teeth
and laughed.” After this, having slain and put to flight all the
Rajas, Bulram came to the place of reception at the bride’s house, and
mentioned all that had occurred to Shree Krishnù Chund. On hearing
the account, Huri departed thence with all his party, and had a safe
and pleasant journey to Dwarka; joy was diffused throughout the city
on his arrival, and there were festivities in every house. Shree
Krishnù Jee and Buldeo Jee went into the presence of Raja Oogursen,
and said, “O great king! through your excellence and glory, we have
celebrated Unroodrù’s marriage, and have destroyed the very wicked
Rookum.”
CHAPTER LXIII.
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! if I could obtain the power
of the lord of Dwarka, I would relate the whole history of the taking
away of Ookha; listen with attention, and I will explain, how she saw
Unroodrù in a dream at night, and lost her strength through sorrow;
and how Chitrekha brought about a meeting between Unroodrù, and
Ookha. In the generation of Bruhmù was first Kusyp, whose son
Hirunkusyp was very mighty and renowned; and became immortal. His son
Hurijun, a worshipper of Krishnù, was named Purladh, whose son was
Raja Biroochun, and Biroochun’s son the Raja Bul, whose fame and
excellence are still spread abroad on the earth. When Krishnù
descended upon the earth in the form of a dwarf, he having practised a
stratagem sent Raja Bul to the infernal regions. The eldest son of
that Bul was Banasoor; a very potent and splendid monarch, he dwelt in
Shronitpore, and went constantly to the mountain Kuelas to perform
adoration to Shivù; he cherished the profession of brahmins, spoke
the truth, and lived with his passions in complete subjection.
O great king! Banasoor having gone to the hill Kuelas, and performed
adoration to Huri; and being absorbed in an intense feeling of
affection, began in a state of ecstacy to play upon the hand-drum and
dance and sing. Hearing him sing and play, Shree Muhadeo Bholanath was
delighted, and began to dance with Parbutee, and play upon a
hand-drum. After dancing for some time, Muhadeo was highly pleased;
and having called Banasoor to him said, “Son! I have been highly
gratified with your singing and dancing, ask a boon from me, and I
will grant whatever you ask; you have played most agreeably, and my
mind has been rejoiced at hearing you.”
