The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having narrated thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O
great king! Muhadeo Jee was angry at hearing Banasoor thus address
him, and began to say to himself, “I granted him a boon, thinking him
a holy man, and now he is ready to fight with me; this fool has become
proud of his strength and shall not escape with life; he who indulges
in pride never lives long.” Muhadeo having these thoughts in his mind,
said, “Banasoor! do not distress yourself, in a short time a fit
antagonist for you, Shree Krishnù, will descend upon the earth in the
family of Judoo, with exception of him there is no one in the three
worlds who can contend with you.” Banasoor was very much pleased when
he heard this, and said, “Lord! when will that man descend upon the
earth, and how shall I know that he has been born?” Raja Shivù
presenting Banasoor with a banner, said to him, “Take this flag and
place it on the top of your house, and when this flag shall fall of
itself and be broken to pieces, then know that your enemy is born.”
When Muhadeo, O great king! had thus explained to him, Banasoor took
the flag and returned home. On arriving there, he fixed the flag upon
his house, and daily offered up prayers that the man might appear,
with whom he could fight. When some time had elapsed, his chief queen,
named Banawutee, became pregnant, and when her time was completed,
brought forth a girl; on that occasion Banasoor having sent for
astrologers, and given them seats, said, “Fix upon the name, and point
out the mental qualities of this girl.” When he had thus spoken, the
astrologers determined quickly upon the year, month, half month, lunar
day, day of the week, hour, division of time equal to forty-eight
minutes and the twenty-seventh division of the zodiack; and, having
considered the proper moment, named the girl “Ookha,” and said, “O
great king! this girl will be a mine of beauty, and good qualities of
mind and disposition; and will be very intelligent; we can discover
this from her planet and other signs.”
