The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! Narud Jee having beheld with delight the beautiful
appearance of the forests and groves, saw on going into the city
elegant, golden houses, covered with jewels, and shining brilliantly,
on which flags and banners were waving. Wreaths and garlands of
flowers were fastened upon each gate-way, at the doors were placed
pillars of plantain and water-pots of gold, filled with sprouts. From
the trellis-work, windows and lattices of each house, the smoke of the
perfume, burnt at the time of worshipping, came curling forth, like a
black cloud; in the midst of which the golden spires shone like
lightning; in every dwelling there was worshipping and reading of
prayers, and sacrifice and offering of gifts; and in every place
people were engaged in adoration and meditation, songs and reading,
and hearing the Pooranùs; here and there the descendants of Judoo
were seated, forming a court, similar to that of Indrù, and joy was
diffused throughout the city.
Having recited thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! Narud Jee being highly gratified on
entering the city, began to say, “To what house shall I go first to
find Shree Krishnù Chund?” Saying this, O great king! to himself,
Narud Jee went to Shree Rookmunee’s house, where Shree Krishnù Chund
was reclining at his ease, and who rose and stood up on seeing him;
they brought a ewer of Rookmunee’s filled with water; Krishnù, having
washed Narud Jee’s feet, and given him a seat, placed before him
perfume, lamps and consecrated food, and offering adoration began to
say to him with joined hands, “Happiness and wealth will follow the
man in whose house the feet of good men fall. You have come and paid
me, a householder, a visit in my house, for the sake of my salvation.”
