The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Raja! when Krishnù had thus spoken, the Raja Joodisthur sent for his
four brothers, and giving them armies, sent them in four different
directions; Suhdeo Jee went to the South, Nukool to the West, Urjoon
to the North, and Bheemsen to the East. Some time after this, O great
king! the four brothers, by the glorious favour of Huri, having
conquered the seven islands and nine divisions of the earth, and
subjugated the Rajas of the ten quarters, brought them back with them,
at that time Raja Joodisthur, having joined his hands, said to Shree
Krishnù Chund Jee, “O great king! through your aid this business has
been accomplished; what are your orders now?” Upon this, Oodho Jee
said, “O incarnation of justice! the kings of all countries have come,
with exception of the Raja Joorasindhoo, of the Mugudh country, who is
not under your authority; and until he shall be made subject to you,
it will not be of advantage to perform the sacrifice. The Raja
Joorasindhoo, the son of Jydruth, is very mighty and renowned, and
liberal and just; not every one has power to oppose him.” When the
Raja Joodisthur having heard this was sad; Shree Krishnù Chund said,
“O great king! be not at all anxious, but give the order to my
brothers, Bheem and Urjoon, and to me, and we will, either by force or
stratagem, bring him here bound, or kill him.” On hearing these words,
Raja Joodisthur gave the order to the two brothers; and then Huri,
accompanied by the two brothers, took the road to the Mugudh country;
when they had advanced some distance on their journey, Shree Krishnù
Chund Jee said to Urjoon and Bheem, “Travel as brahmins, and let us
kill our enemy by stratagem or force.”
O great king! having thus spoken, Shree Krishnù Chund Jee assumed the
appearance of a brahmin, and Bheem and Urjoon did the same also. The
three having drawn three horizontal lines across their foreheads, and
taking each a book under his arm, went along assuming the same bright,
handsome, elegant and well-arranged appearance, as the three
properties of humanity, truth, passion and ignorance, would assume, if
they put on corporeal form, or as the three times, present, past and
future, would assume. At length, after some days’ journey, they
arrived in the Mugudh country, and at mid-day stood at the gate of the
Raja Joorasindhoo. On seeing their appearance, the gate-keepers went,
and said to the Raja, “O great king! three brahmin guests (or beggars)
of very splendid appearance, great pundits, and very intelligent are
standing at the gate, desirous of some thing. What are your orders to
us?”
