The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
On hearing these words from the mouth of Shree Krishnù, Indrù having
risen, performed poojah according to the injunctions of the Vedas; and
having pronounced the name of Gobind, took the water, in which his
feet had been washed, and circled to the right hand by way of
adoration of Krishnù. At this time the heavenly musicians, playing
upon instruments of different kinds, began to celebrate the praises of
Shree Krishnù; and the gods, seated in their chariots, to rain down
flowers from the sky. And the crisis appeared the same, as if Shree
Krishnù had been born for the second time.
When Indrù had finished the poojah, he stood before Krishnù with
hands joined: and Shree Krishnù gave him the order to return to his
own city with the cow Ramdhenoo. On receiving the order, Ramdhenoo and
Indrù taking their departures, after having made obeisance, went to
the region of Indrù. And Shree Krishnù Chund having allowed the cows
to graze, returned, in the evening with all the cowherds’ children to
Brindabun. They having gone to their homes, related that they had that
day seen Indrù in the jungle, through the glory of Huri.
Having related so much of the history, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to the
Raja Pureechit,--Raja! by hearing and reciting this account of Shree
Gobind, which I have narrated to you, the four blessings of religion,
substance, desire and deliverance are obtained in the world.
CHAPTER XXIX.
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! one day Nund Jee abstaining
from food, observed the fast of the eleventh day of the lunar
fortnight. He spent the day in bathing, meditation, worship and
prayer, and the night in vigil. When six ghurees of the night
remained, and the twelfth day of the lunar fortnight had begun, having
got up, and purified his body, and perceiving that it was day-break,
he took a bathing cloth and ewer, and went to the Jumna to bathe: many
cowherds followed him. Having gone upon the bank, made a salutation
and taken off his clothes, as Nund Jee went into the water, the
servants of Varoonù, who were guarding the stream, that no one might
bathe at night, went to Varoonù, and said, “O great king! some one is
now bathing in the Jumna: what are your orders to us on the subject?”
Varoonù replied, “Lay hold of him, and bring him here.” On receiving
this order, the servants returned to the spot where Nund Jee having
performed his ablutions was standing in the water, muttering prayers.
The servants coming, and having quickly thrown a noose over Nund Jee,
took him to Varoonù. Then the cowherds, who accompanied Nund Jee,
came to Krishnù and said, “O great king! the attendants of Varoonù
have carried off Nund Rae Jee from the banks of the Jumna to the
region of Varoonù.” On hearing this, Shree Krishnù got up enraged,
and went off, and arrived in a second at the abode of Varoonù. On
beholding him, Varoonù rose and stood up, and joining his hands, said
in a supplicating manner, “My birth has this day been propitious,
