The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O great king! when Parbutee Jee had cooled the anger of Shivù by her
explanations, Bhrigoo, having seen Muhadeo Jee, absorbed in the
property of darkness, rose up and went away. He then went to Indrù’s
heaven, where Bhugwan was sleeping with Luchmee on a bed of flowers,
spread on a bedstead of gold, with curtains and covered with jewels.
On going there Bhrigoo gave Bhugwan such a kick in the breast that he
started up from sleep, when Huri saw the sage, he left Luchmee, and
came down from his couch; and fixing his eyes upon the head and feet
of Bhrigoo Jee began to rub them, and thus address him, “O chief of
the sages! be pleased to forgive my fault, I have unintentionally hurt
your soft lotus-like feet with my hard breast, be pleased not to think
of this offence of mine.” When Vishnù (the lord) had thus spoken,
Bhrigoo Jee was highly delighted, and having glorified Bhugwan took
leave and came thence to the banks of the Suruswutee, where all the
saints and sages were sitting. On his arrival Bhrigoo Jee related
every circumstance exactly as it had occurred, in his visits to the
three deities:--“Bruhmù clings to the property of passion; Muhadeo is
impregnated with the property of darkness; Vishnù is chief amongst
the virtuous; no other god is greater than he.” The doubts of the
sages disappeared on hearing this; and joy was in the minds of all.
All applauded Vishnù and established in their breasts a faith in him
not to be shaken.
Having proceeded thus far in the narrative, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to
the Raja Pureechit,--O great king! I will relate an intermediate
story, listen with attention: Raja Oogursen ruled justly and
virtuously in the city of Dwarka, and Shree Krishnù Chund and Bulram
were obedient to his orders; under the government of the Raja all were
attentive to their own duty, and carried on business with
intelligence, and lived happily and agreeably; a brahmin dwelt there
also, who was a very well disposed and virtuous man; it so happened
that one of his sons died, and he took his dead son and went to the
gate of Raja Oogursen, and began to say whatever came uppermost: “Your
subjects are oppressed by the acts of your government, and my son has
also died through your sin.”
