The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing these words, O great king! Basoodeo Jee taking compassion
on her, said, his eyes being filled with tears, “Sister! what dost
thou say to me? I have had no control in these matters, the condition
or circumstances of fate are not known. The will of Huri is very
powerful, behold! what griefs I endured at the hands of Kuns; the
whole world has become subservient to Krishnù; behold! whatever
griefs one may suffer, the universe is put into circular motion.”
O great king! having thus spoken, and having entered into explanations
with his sister, Basoodeo Jee went to the place, where all the Rajas
were seated in the court of Raja Oogursen and Raja Doorjodhun and
other great Rajas, and the Panduvùs were doing honour to Oogursen:
“Raja! you are very fortunate in constantly beholding Shree Krishnù
Chund, and obliterating the sins of each birth; the lord, whom Shivù,
Bruhmù and all the other gods wander about seeking, continually
protects you; the Huri, whose mysteries jogees and sages, or whose
passions are under complete subjection, and saints and wise men cannot
discover, comes to receive your orders; and he, who is god of the
whole world, bows his head to you.”
Having related thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O
great king! all the Rajas having come were thus applauding Raja
Oogursen, and he, with great propriety, pleased and satisfied them
all. In the mean while, having heard of the arrival of Shree Krishnù
and Bulram Jee, Nund and Oopnund came, accompanied by their relations
and all the cowherdesses and cowherds, and their children. When they
were at leisure after bathing and offering gifts, Nund Jee went to the
place, where Basoodeo and Dewukee were living with their son, in a
state of ease and enjoyment. On seeing them, Basoodeo Jee rose and met
them; and mutually expressing and feeling affection they were as happy
as a man would be, who had found a lost thing. Basoodeo Jee then
mentioned to Nund Rae all that had transpired at Bruj formerly, how
Nund Rae Jee had brought up Shree Krishnù and Bulram.
On hearing this account, O great king! Nund Rae Jee’s eyes filled with
tears, and he remained gazing on the face of Basoodeo. At that time,
Shree Krishnù and Buldeo, having, with all becoming propriety,
performed obeisance and salutation, first to Nund and Jusodha Jee,
went afterwards and had a meeting with the cowherds’ children. The
cowherdesses came there, and gazed upon the moon-like countenance of
Huri, and delighted their partridge-like eyes (that is, their eyes,
which gazed at Krishnù, in the same manner as the eyes of the
Chukoor, or Greek partridge, gazes at the moon, of which the bird is
said to be enamoured) and received the fruit, or the greatest
enjoyment of their lives.
