The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Whosoever has obtained mortal form, and
shall not offer adoration and prayers to you, and shall not keep you
in constant remembrance, he shall lose his religion and shall
aggravate his sins. He, who has come into the world, and has not
called upon your name, has abandoned the water of life and drank
poison. In whosesoever’s breast you dwell, he has obtained pardon on
account of his faith by celebrating with songs your good qualities.”
Again, Shree Muhadeo Jee said, “O sea of compassion and brother of the
poor! your greatness is boundless. Who has power to describe it, and
who can understand your actions? Take compassion upon me now, and
forgive this Banasoor’s transgression; and grant him faith in you; he
also possesses a title to be considered your worshipper, because he is
a portion of the lineage of Purhlad, your adorer.” Shree Krishnù
Chund replied, “Shivù Jee! there is no difference between you and me;
and whoever supposes there is a difference, he will fall into the
great hell, and shall never obtain me, (that is, gain my favour;)
whoever has meditated upon you, will, at his latter end, obtain my
favour, this Banasoor called upon your name without deceit; and, for
this reason, I have made him four-armed; I have protected all on whom
you have conferred boons, and will protect those also, to whom you may
in future grant blessings.”
O great king! when Krishnù had uttered these words, Sudashivù Jee
made an obeisance; and, taking leave, went to the mountain Kuelas,
accompanied by his army; and Shree Krishnù remained standing where he
was; Banasoor then joining his hands and bowing his head, said,
submissively,--“O lord of the poor! as you have compassionately
pardoned me, be pleased now to make pure your servant’s house by
coming to it, and take away Unroodrù Jee and Ookha with you.” On
hearing this, Shree Beharee, the benefactor of his worshippers, taking
Purdiyomun Jee with him, went to Banasoor’s abode.
O great king! Banasoor being then highly delighted, conducted
Krishnù, with a warm welcome, to his house, spreading silken cloths
on the road, afterwards he washed his feet and took the water with
which his feet had been washed, and sipping it in his hand put it on
his head. He then began to say, “The water in which his feet have been
washed, so difficult to be obtained by all, I have this day obtained
by the favour of Huri, and obliterated the sins of each birth, he who
has drank of the water of the Ganges will, undoubtedly, obtain heaven;
he who has seen the Bhageruttee has gained the whole world.”
O great king! having thus spoken and brought Unroodrù Jee and Ookha,
he said in the presence of Krishnù, joining his hands, “Be pleased to
forgive my fault; what was predestined has happened, I give this Ookha
as a servant to you.” When he had thus spoken, Banasoor gave his
daughter in marriage, according to the injunctions of the Vedas, and
bestowed upon her a boundless dowry.
