The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! Bulram Jee, having thus spoken, gave a command to the
women of Bruj, “As this is the night of the full moon of Chuetrù,
adorn yourselves, and go into the forest; and I will engage in festive
songs and dance with you.” Having thus said, Bulram Jee went in the
evening to the forest, and all the women of Bruj followed him, wearing
elegant dresses, and ornaments? and adorned from head to foot, came to
Buldeo, they all remained bending their heads. The beauty of Buldeo
cannot be described; of the colour of gold, he was dressed in a blue
dress; his moon-like countenance and lotus eyes captivated all hearts;
a ear-ring shone with lustrous beauty in one of his ears; as though
the sun and moon dwelt together; the other ear had drank of the
flavour of the celebrity of Huri; and he did not fasten an ear-ring in
it. Jewels in profusion were fastened on all parts of his body, the
splendour of which baffles description. The women fell at his feet,
saying, “Engage in sports and delightful festive songs and dances with
us.”
O great king! on hearing this request, Bulram Jee made the mystical
sound of “_hoon_,” on uttering which, all the materials necessary for
the festival were immediately produced. The cowherdesses then
abandoning all care and modesty, giving themselves up to the passion
of love, began to sing and play upon lutes, drums, cymbals, pipes and
other musical instruments of all kinds, and gratify Bulram by their
merry-making and dancing, and blandishments.
On hearing them play and sing, and seeing them dance, Buldeo Jee was
delighted; and, having drank some spirituous liquor, began to sing and
dance, and engage in every kind of sport, and enjoy mutual pleasure;
at that time the gods, celestial musicians and choristers, and the
demi-gods, accompanied by their wives, and sitting in chariots,
singing the praises of Bulram, rained flowers from the sky. The moon
and the assembly of the stars, beholding the happiness of the festive
assembly, poured down nectar from their rays, the air became still,
and the course of water was stopped.
