The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having proceeded thus far in the narrative, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! on hearing this story, all the
descendants of Judoo were delighted, and said to Shree Krishnù Chund
Jee, “O great king! be pleased to go quickly to Koorchetrù, and do
not now delay, because it is necessary to arrive there in time for the
festival.” On hearing this, Shree Krishnù Chund and Bulram Jee
enquired from the Raja Oogursen, “Who, O great king! will remain here
to guard the city if all go to Koorchetrù?” Raja Oogursen said,
“Leave Unroodrù Jee and go.” Having received the Raja’s order, and
having sent for and explained to Unroodrù, Krishnù said, “Son!
remain here, defend the cow and the brahmin and protect the subject, I
and the Raja Jee, and all the descendants of Judoo will return, after
having bathed at Koorchetrù.” Unroodrù Jee replied, “I will act
according to your order.”
Having, O great king! left Unroodrù Jee only to guard the city,
Soorsen, Basoodeo, Oodho, Akroor, Kritbruma, and all the high and low
descendants of Judoo with their wives prepared to set out for
Koorchetrù. When the Raja Oogursen encamped outside the city with his
army, the whole party assembled together; and afterwards Shree
Krishnù Chund Jee joined them, accompanied by his brother’s wife,
eight queens, sixteen thousand eight hundred wives, and their sons and
grandsons, Raja Oogursen decamped thence on Krishnù’s arrival; and
advanced with great pomp and bustle, like Raja Indrù.
Having narrated thus much, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king!
after a pleasant and safe journey of some days, Shree Krishnù Chund
and all the descendants of Judoo arrived at Koorchetrù; and having
gone there, they all bathed during the festival; and, each, to the
utmost of his means, offered elephants, horses, ruths, palkees,
dresses, jewels, ornaments, grain or money, and afterwards they all
encamped there.
O great king! having heard of the journey of Shree Krishnù Chund and
Bulram Jee to Koorchetrù, Rajas from the four quarters came with
their families and armies, and met them. Then all the Kouruvùs and
Panduvùs came there with their relatives and their troops; at that
time Koontee and Dropudee went into the female apartments of the
descendants of Judoo, and had interviews with their wives; after this
Koontee having gone into her brother’s presence, said, “Brother! I am
very unfortunate, from the very day I was betrothed I have been
suffering affliction, you have not thought of me from the time you
gave me in marriage; and Ram Krishnù, who is the bestower of
happiness upon all, has not shown any kindness towards me.”
