CHAPTER LXXXVI. Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--Raja! I will now relate how Urjoon carried off Shree Krishnù Chund Jee’s sister, Soobhudra, from Dwarka; and how Shree Krishnù Chund went and abode in Mithila, listen with attention: when Dewukee’s daughter, whose name was Soobhudra, and who was younger than Shree Krishnù Jee, was marriageable; Basoodeo Jee having invited several of the descendants of Judoo, and Shree Krishnù and Bulram said, “The girl is now of a fit age to be married, to whom shall we give her?” Bulram Jee replied, “It is said, ‘That we ought to contract marriage, enmity and friendship with equals;’ one thing occurs to me, that we ought to marry this girl to Doorjodhun, and obtain renown and greatness in the world.” Shree Krishnù Chund said, “In my opinion, we shall obtain a high reputation in the world by giving her to Urjoon.” Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! on Bulram’s speaking, no one uttered a word; but when Shree Krishnù Chund Jee had spoken, all exclaimed, “It is most advisable to marry the girl to Urjoon.” Bulram Jee was offended at hearing this, and rose up and went away; and the party present, observing that he was offended, remained silent; when Urjoon afterwards received information of these circumstances, he assumed the disguise of a religious mendicant; and, taking a staff and wooden pot went to Dwarka; and, having selected a convenient spot spread a deer’s skin, and sat upon it: he remained thus for four months during the whole rains, and no one discovered his secret purpose; looking upon him as a guest, they all paid him attention; and, for the sake of Vishnù, entertained affection for him; Krishnù knew all his secrets, but did not reveal them to any one. O great king! one day Buldeo Jee also invited and brought with him Urjoon to an entertainment at his house, when Urjoon sat down to eat, he beheld Soobhudra, with a body like the moon, and eyes like the deer. On seeing her Urjoon was fascinated; and, avoiding the gaze of all, began to look upon her with averted glance; and thought to himself, “When will Bruhmù accomplish what is destined in my fate?” Whilst on the other hand Soobhudra Jee, pleased with the brilliancy of his countenance, was saying to herself, “He is some prince and not a religious mendicant, why is he sad?” Having thus spoken, Soobhudra Jee went into the house and began to think of obtaining a husband; and on the other hand, Urjoon, after he had finished eating, came to his seat, and was occupied with all kinds of anxieties as to how he should gain possession of his beloved. Some days afterwards, on the occasion of the festival of Shivùrat, all the inhabitants of the city, male and female, went outside the city to worship Shivù. Soobhudra went there also with her female companions and attendants. Having heard of her going, Urjoon mounted his chariot, and taking his bow and arrows, went there and was ready.
