Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Shookdeo Jee replied, Raja! once on a time during the age of truth,
Narud Jee went into the world of truth (that is, the world of the
virtuous age) to the place where Nurnarain was sitting engaged with
many other sages in devout religious austerities, and enquired, “O
great king? be pleased to do me the favour to say, how the Vedas
glorify the incorporeal Bruhm.” Nurnarain said, “Hear me Narud! the
perplexity, which you have asked me to explain, is the same as
occurred in the world of mortals, at a place where Sunatun and other
sages were seated, occupied with religious penance. Sunundun, a sage,
then narrated a story, and entirely removed the doubts of all
present.” Narud Jee said, “O great king! I also dwell there, and if
this story had been told, I should have heard it.” Nurnarain said,
“Narud Jee! this story was told, when you had gone to the white island
to visit Bhugwut and, therefore, you did not hear it.” Having heard
this, Narud Jee said, “O great king! kindly inform me what story was
related there,” Nurnarain replied, “Listen! Narud, when the sages
asked this question, Sunundun, the saint, began to say to them,
‘Listen to me! at the time of the general destruction, when fourteen
worlds became the semblance of water, then the complete Bruhm remained
alone asleep, when Bhugwan wished to create the world, the Vedas
having come forth from his breath and joined their hands, sang praises
to him, just as bards, by singing songs of eulogy of his renown very
early in the morning, might awaken a Raja, who was asleep in his own
house; in order, that being awake, he might quickly perform any
business he had to do.’”
