The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! having heard this request, and seeing that they were all
distressed, Huri sent forth the ague, which rushed upon Muhadeo’s
fever. On seeing the ague, Muhadeo’s fever fled through fear; and
continuing his flight, came to Sudashivù Jee. The inflammatory fever
then said to Muhadeo, “Afford me an asylum, or the fever of Krishnù
will destroy me.” Muhadeo Jee replied, “There is no one in the three
worlds, except Shree Krishnù Chund, who can drive away the fever he
has sent, it is therefore most advisable for you to go to Shree
Moorari, the friend of his worshippers.” Having heard of Shivù’s
speech, and reflected upon it, the inflammatory fever went into the
presence of Shree Krishnù Chund, the root of joy; and joining his
hands, beseeching in a most submissive manner and making many
entreaties, said, “O sea of compassion, the brother of the poor, the
purifier of sinners and kind to the needy! be pleased to pardon my
fault and save me from your fever. O Krishnù! you are the lord of
Bruhmù and all other divinities. Your power, O lord of the world! is
incomprehensible; it was you who created and arranged the world. All
the delusive power in the universe belongs to you. O Krishnù! I have
found out your compassionate nature, and having obtained knowledge,
look upon you as the creator of the world.” The benignant Huri
replied, “You have come to seek protection from me, and have therefore
escaped, otherwise you would not have escaped with life. I forgive
your present fault; but do not again direct your attacks against my
worshippers and servants, this is my order to you.” The fever said, “O
sea of compassion! whoever shall hear this history, ague, tertian ague
and tertian fever shall never attack him.” After this, Shree Krishnù
Chund said, “Go now to Muhadeo; do not stay here, or else my fever
will harass you.” On receiving this order, the inflammatory fever took
leave, and having made an obeisance, went off to Muhadeo, and the pain
of the fever was entirely subdued.
