Having narrated thus much, Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! recollecting this circumstance, Shree Krishnù, dragging along the wooden mortar, came to the place in which the trees named Jumlajoorun, were. On going there, having cast the wooden mortar across, between the two great trees, he gave such a sudden jerk, that the two trees fell down, uprooted; and two very handsome human beings, coming forth from them, and joining their hands, began to sing his praises--“O Lord! who, but you, would recollect such great sinners as we are.” Shree Krishnù said, “Narud, the sage, has shown great compassion towards you, in having granted you liberation in Gokool; through his beneficence, you have obtained me--Now ask from me any boon you wish.” Jumlajoorun said, “O lord of the poor! through the favour of Narud Jee, we have touched your feet, and obtained a sight of you; we have now no desire of any thing else; but be pleased to grant this much, that faith in you may always continue in our breasts.” On hearing this, Shree Krishnù, having granted what they asked, and laughing, dismissed them. CHAPTER XII. Shree Shookdeo, the sage, said,--Raja! when those two trees fell, hearing the sound, and being alarmed, the wife of Nund came to the spot where Krishnù had been tied to the wooden mortar; and all the cowherdesses and cowherds came also after her. When she did not find Krishnù there, being agitated in mind, Jusodha went about calling out, and repeating the name of Mohun--“Where has he gone, that was tied down? Has any one seen my boy Kunhya any where?” In the meantime, (or at this time,) a woman of Bruj, having come before Jusodha, said, “Two trees have fallen down, and there Krishnù has escaped.”
