The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Kouruvùs are very unjust and tyrannical, their tyranny is beyond
description, they first, at the suggestion of Doosasun, Shugoon and
Bhugdunt, cheated at play, and won every thing belonging to Raja
Joodisthur. Doosasun laid hold of Dropudee by the hand, and for that
reason Bheemsen pulled his arm out of the socket. Dhoorjodhun, in the
midst of the court, told Dropudee to sit upon his thigh; and for this
reason his thigh was wounded.” Shree Krishnù Chund proceeded to say,
“Brother! you do not know what injustice the Kouruvùs have shown
towards the Panduvùs, and I cannot describe it; the fire of this war
will not, therefore, be now extinguished, do not attempt any remedy.”
When Krishnù, O great king! had thus spoken, Bulram Jee came from the
country in the neighbourhood of Delhi to the city of Dwarka; and,
having an interview with Rajas Oogursen and Soorsen, began to say to
them with joined hands, “O great kings! through your excellence and
glory I have made a pilgrimage to all holy places; but I have been
guilty of a fault.” Raja Oogursen said, “What fault?” Bulram Jee
replied, “O great king! having gone to Neemkhar, I killed Soot Jee,
the sin of whose murder attaches to me, with your permission I will
now go again to Neemkhar; and, having seen the sacrifice, and bathed
at the holy place, will obliterate the sin of the murder; after that I
will give food to brahmins and give an entertainment to all persons of
my own caste, in order that I may obtain renown in the world.” Raja
Oogursen consented, and told him to proceed on his journey, and return
to him.
O great king! having obtained the Raja’s leave, Bulram Jee,
accompanied by several of the descendants of Judoo, went to Neemkhar;
and having bathed and offered gifts, was purified, and returned.
Afterwards, having sent for his family priest, and caused burnt
offerings to be offered up to the gods, he fed and entertained
brahmins, and his own caste; and, having observed all the customs
usual in the world, was made clean.
Having recited thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said, O
great king! whoever shall hear this history with attention; all his
sins shall be annihilated.
