O great king! when Krishnù had thus spoken, Narud Jee giving him this blessing, “May you long live to protect Shree Rookmunee,” went to the abode of Jamwutee, where he saw Huri playing at _choupur_. On seeing Narud Jee, Krishnù rose up; when, having given him a blessing, Narud went away again; after this he went to Sutbhama’s and saw Shree Krishnù Chund seated, and having oil and perfumed paste applied to his body, Narud Jee returned thence in silence, because it is written in the Shastrùs “That at the time of the application of oil, a Raja should not make a salutation, nor a brahmin pronounce a benediction,” Narud Jee then went to Kalindee’s house, and there saw Huri asleep. O great king! Kalindee, on seeing Narud Jee, began to rub Huri’s feet, and awoke him, Krishnù, on awaking, approached the sage; and having made an obeisance, said with joined hands “The feet of holy men are like the waters of places of pilgrimage; wherever they fall they purify.” On hearing this and having given his blessing, Narud Jee rose, and went thence to the residence of Mittrabinda, he there saw brahmins being fed, and Shree Krishnù serving out food to them, Krishnù said, on seeing Narud Jee, “O great king! as you have done me the favour to come here, please partake of this food, and give me your leavings, and make pure my house.” Narud Jee replied, “O great king! I will come again, after having gone round to a few other houses, be pleased to serve out food to the brahmins, and I will take what is left on my return.” With these words, Narud Jee took leave and went to Sutya’s house, and there saw Shree Beharee, the benefactor of his worshippers, sitting pleased, and amusing himself, on beholding this state of affairs, Narud Jee went away thence, and having then gone to Bhudra’s abode, saw Huri eating, he returned thence to the house of Luchmuna, and there saw Krishnù bathing. Having proceeded thus far in the narrative Shree Shookdeo said,--O great king! in this manner the sage, Narud Jee, went about to sixteen thousand one hundred and eight houses, but did not see a single house without Shree Krishnù in it, and wherever he beheld him he saw him engaged in some domestic occupation, having observed this custom Narud was astonished, “That there was not a house without Krishnù in it, wherever I go, there is the beloved Huri; thus has Krishnù spread about his pastimes. In each of the sixteen thousand one hundred and eight houses, the supporter of the hill (Krishnù) remains with one of his wives.” The delighted sage said reflecting, “The deceptive power, which jogees are supposed to possess, belongs to thee, O lord of the Judoos! no one can understand this power; and who can escape from it?”
