The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Having narrated thus much, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! I
cannot describe the love displayed by Nund, Oopnund, Jusodha, the
cowherdesses, the cowherds and their children on meeting with
Basoodeo, Dewukee, Rohnee, Shree Krishnù and Bulram; it must have
been witnessed to be understood. At length, seeing that they were all
greatly agitated by their affection, Shree Krishnù Chund Jee said,
“Listen! whatever mortal shall have faith in me, shall be fearlessly
carried across the sea of existence; you have made an offering of your
bodies, minds and wealth, and have looked upon me with a never ending
affection; no one is equal to you in good fortune; not Bruhmù,
Roodrù, Indrù or any one else, whoever he be, I have not come into
the meditations of Shivù, but have dwelt with you, and constantly
increased my affection. I dwell in the body of each individual: what I
now say is incomprehensible and unfathomable, as light, water, fire,
earth and air abide in the body, so also my splendour dwells in the
human form.”
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! when Shree Krishnù Chund had
mentioned all these mysteries, all the inhabitants of Bruj recovered
their confidence.
CHAPTER LXXXIII.
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! listen, whilst I give an
account of the conversations which passed between Dropudee and the
wives of Shree Krishnù Chund Jee. One day the wives of the Kouruvùs
and Panduvùs were sitting with the wives of Shree Krishnù Chund Jee,
and were celebrating the exploits and good qualities of Krishnù; upon
something being said in conversation, Dropudee said to Shree Rookmunee
Jee, “Say, O beautiful Rookmunee! how didst thou obtain Shree Krishnù
Chund Jee?” Shree Rookmunee replied, “Listen attentively, O Dropudee!
how Krishnù carried his scheme into execution: my father’s wish was
to give his daughter to Shree Krishnù Chund, and my brother had set
his mind upon giving me to Raja Sissoopal, who came with a marriage
procession to celebrate the marriage; and I sent a brahmin and invited
Shree Krishnù Chund Jee. On the marriage day, as I returned home
after having offered adoration to Devee, Shree Krishnù Chund Jee
having carried me off from the midst of the army of the demons, seated
me on his chariot, and pursued his journey homewards. Having
afterwards received intelligence of this event, the whole army of
demons came and made a violent attack upon Huri, who easily slew and
put them to flight, he then set out for Dwarka, taking me with him. On
our arrival there, Rajas Oogursen, Soorsen and Basoodeo Jee married me
to Shree Krishnù Chund, according to the prescribed injunctions of
the Vedas; and, having heard the news of the marriage, my father gave
me a most liberal dowry.”
