O great king! having thus spoken, all the Rajas seizing their weapons, rose up and rushed towards Sissoopal to kill him. Shree Krishnù Chund, the root of joy, then prevented them, and said, “Do not use your arms against him, stand here and look on, he will bring destruction on himself presently, I will tolerate a hundred offences in him, because I have agreed to do so; but I will not tolerate more than a hundred, and therefore I have been drawing these lines.” O great king! on hearing this speech, all, having joined their hands, enquired from Shree Krishnù Chund, “O lord of compassion! what is the reason that you will pardon a hundred faults on his part, be pleased kindly to explain to us, that the doubts of our minds may be removed?” Krishnù said, “When he (Sissoopal) was born, he had three eyes and four arms, when his father, Raja Dumadhok, was informed of this he sent for astrologers and great pundits and enquired, ‘What sort of child will this be, consider and give me your answer?’ On hearing what the Raja said, the pundits and astrologers, having consulted the Shastrùs, replied, ‘O great king! this child will be possessed of great strength, and will be highly renowned, and we are also of opinion that this child will be destroyed by him, at meeting with whom one of his eyes and two of his arms shall fall down.’ Having heard this, his mother, Muhadewee, the daughter of Soorsen, the sister of Basoodeo, my maternal aunt, was very sad, and passed day and night in anxious thought about her child; after some days, she came on one occasion with her son to her father’s house at Dwarka, and presented her son to every one; when the child and I met, one of its eyes, and two of its arms fell upon the ground, then my aunt having bound me by a promise, said, ‘The child’s death is in your hands, please do not kill it, I ask this as an alms from you.’ I replied, ‘Very good, I will not reckon a hundred faults he may commit, should he commit any in excess of this number, I will destroy him.’ Having received this promise from me, my aunt took leave of us all with these words, ‘How can the child commit a hundred offences against Krishnù and perish by his hand,’ and returned home with her son.” O great king! having mentioned this account of Sissoopal, and obliterated the doubts of all the Rajas’ minds, Shree Krishnù Jee counted the lines he had drawn separately for each offence, which amounted to more than a hundred. Krishnù then gave an order to the quoit, Soodursen, who instantly cut off Sissoopal’s head. The brilliant light, which came forth from his body, went at once to the sky, and returning thence settled in the sight of all, on the mouth of Shree Krishnù Chund. On beholding this exploit, gods, men and sages began to raise cries of exultation and rain flowers. On that occasion, Shree Moorari, the benefactor of his worshippers, gave him a third deliverance, and performed his funeral obsequies.
