The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having recited thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O
great king! in this manner Bulram Jee engaged at night in festive
songs and dances with the women of Bruj, during the months of Chuetrù
and Bysakh, and in the day-time made Nund and Jusodha happy by
relating the history of Huri. One night, whilst engaging in
festivities, Bulram Jee having gone and reposed on the banks of the
river, said angrily, “Jumna! flow thou here, and forming a thousand
streams, bathe me with thy waters; if thou obeyest not my command, thy
waters shall be divided into several portions.” When, O great king,
the Jumna through pride would not attend to what Bulram Jee said, he
drew her towards him with his plough and bathed, and from that day the
Jumna has been bent at that spot. Having bathed and got rid of all his
fatigue, Bulram Jee made all the cowherdesses happy; and, taking them
with him, went from the forest to the city; there the cowherdesses
said, “O lord of the Judoos, take us hence with you.”
Having heard this request, Bulram Jee encouraged the hopes of the
cowherdesses; and, having inspired them with confidence, allowed them
to take leave, and went himself to take leave of Nund and Jusodha. He
then explained to them and gave them comfort also; and after a stay of
some days took leave, and set off for Dwarka, where he soon arrived.
CHAPTER LXVII.
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! there was a Raja, named
Pounrik, in the city of Kasee, a very powerful and glorious monarch,
who assumed the appearance of Vishnù and imposed upon all people by
deceit and force; he constantly wore a yellow dress, a necklace
composed of five jewels, produced from the elements of nature, a
garland of pearls, and a garland, composed of various jewels; and
carrying about with him a shell, quoit, club and lotus, he made two
wooden hands for himself; and having placed upon a horse a wooden
sovereign of the feathered race, he went about, mounted upon it. He
called himself Basoodeo Pounrik, and caused himself to be worshipped
by all men; whatsoever Raja did not obey his order, he attacked him;
and, having fought, reduced him to subjection.
