The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! one day Shree Krishnù
Chund, the sea of compassion, the brother of poor and the benefactor
of his worshippers, was sitting in an assembly of wise men, sages,
brahmins and Chuttrees, when the Raja Joodisthur came; and, beseeching
earnestly and bowing his head, said to him, with joined hands, “O lord
of Shivù and Bruhmù! gods, sages, holy men and jogees constantly
meditate on you; you are the unseen, invisible and impenetrable; no
one understands the secrets of your nature; holy men and jogees
meditate on you with profound attention; but you do not for a moment
enter their minds; you appear to us at our home, and have an affection
for your worshippers; the sports you engage in, Mohun, no one can
comprehend; the world has been deceived by your delusive power! you
behave towards us as a mortal; you look upon those as your superiors,
who bear you in remembrance, O lord of the world! you are far from the
proud man, and the root of the life of the speaker of truth.”
O great king! having thus spoken, Raja Joodisthur then said, “O
merciful to the poor! through your compassion, all that I had in view
has been accomplished, but I have still one desire.” Krishnù
enquired, “What is it?” The Raja said, “O great king! it is my wish to
perform a royal sacrifice, and present it as an offering to you, and
thereby cross over the sea of the world.” On hearing these words Shree
Krishnù Chund was delighted, and said, “Raja! you have formed a good
wish, by this gods, men, saints and sages will all be gratified; this
will be agreeable to all, and it is not at all difficult for you to do
this; because your four brothers, Urjoon, Bheem, Nukool and Suhdeo are
very renowned and powerful; there is not any one in the world now who
can oppose them; first send them forth to conquer, and bring under
subjection the Rajas of the ten quarters of the world, and after that
perform the sacrifice at your ease.”
