The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! on Krishnù’s departure, Narud, Bamdeo, Byas, Atri,
Purshooram, and many other sages came and accompanied Shree Krishnù
Chund Jee; whatever countries Krishnù passed through, the Rajas of
them came out to meet him, and worshipped him, and gave him presents;
at length, after a journey of some days, Krishnù arrived there; when
they heard of Huri’s arrival, the two worshippers rose up, and came
running hastily to him with presents. During their interview with
Krishnù, they both placed their presents before him; and, making
obeisance, and standing in his presence with joined hands, said, with
the utmost submissiveness, “O sea of compassion and brother of the
poor! you have shown great mercy, in having allowed sinners like us to
see you, and thereby made us pure, and put an end to our being born
and dying.”
Having recited thus much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O
great king! Shree Krishnù Chund, acquainted with the secrets of the
heart, having beheld the sincere faith of those two worshippers,
assumed two bodily forms, and went and dwelt in the houses of both;
they entertained and amused him in an agreeable manner; and Huri made
a stay of some days, and made them exceedingly happy; after this, when
Krishnù having gratified all their wishes, and increased their
knowledge, went to Dwarka; the sages and saints took leave of him on
the road, and Huri went and abode happily at Dwarka.
CHAPTER LXXXVII.
Having heard so much of the narrative, Raja Pureechit said to Shree
Shookdeo Jee, “O great king! you said, on a former occasion, that the
Vedas glorified the supreme deity; explain to me, in order that the
doubts of my mind may be removed, how the Vedas offered praise to the
Bruhm without passions or human qualities?” Shree Shookdeo Jee
replied,--O great king! the lord, who is the author of the intellect,
of the organs of action and perception, of the mind, soul, religious
and moral merit, wealth, desire and salvation, constantly remains in a
passionless form, without human qualities, but when he creates the
world, he is possessed of all qualities, and assumes his own natural
form; for this reason, that one deity is both without, and with
passions and qualities.
Having thus said, Shookdeo, the sage, added, Raja! Narud Jee on one
occasion asked Nurnarain the question you have now asked me. Raja
Pureechit said, “O great king! please explain this subject to me, that
the perplexities of my mind may be removed.”
