The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! the Rajas of all the cities, towns and villages, Bulram
Jee passed through, came out to welcome him, and escorted him with the
greatest politeness; and he offered consolation to each of them. After
some days’ journey, Bulram Jee arrived at the city of Awuntika; he
paid his respects to the spiritual preceptor, who had instructed him
in knowledge, and stayed about ten days with him. On taking leave of
his preceptor, Buldeo Jee went on to Gokool, and beheld the cows every
where in the jungle with their mouths open, not having eaten any
grass, thinking of Shree Krishnù Chund, their minds wrapt up in the
tones of his lute, wandering about lowing and panting; and behind them
the cowherds’ children singing Huri’s praises, and imbued with
affection for him, were going along; and on all sides the inhabitants
of the city were commending Krishnù’s exploits and sports. Seeing
this condition of the inhabitants and of the cows, on arrival at his
birth-place, Bulram took compassion upon them, and his eyes filled
with tears; all the cowherds’ children came running out, when they saw
the flag and banner on the chariot, supposing that Shree Krishnù
Chund and Bulram had come. Bulram descended from his ruth at their
approach, and embraced and began to make the kindest enquiries from
each of them; in the mean while, some one told Nund and Jusodha, “That
Buldeo had arrived.” On hearing the news, Nund and Jusodha, and the
cowherds rose and rushed out. Bulram, when he saw them from a distance
coming towards him, ran and threw himself at the feet of Nund Rae;
then Nund Jee shedding tears of joy, raised Bulram, and embraced him
with the utmost affection, and forgot all the pains of separation;
Bulram then went and laid hold of Jusodha’s feet, who fondly clasped
him to her bosom, she embraced and clung to his neck, tears streaming
from her eyes.
