The Prem sagur
Caturbhujamisra, active 17th century
Krishna (Hindu deity)
(that is, all the objects of my present birth have been gained
to-day,) by my having obtained a sight of you, O lord of the Judoos!
Put away far from me all my crimes, I have circumvented Nund, your
father, with this object in view. You are celebrated as the father of
all. We know not your father. Seeing Nund bathing at night, my
attendants through ignorance laid hold of him. Well, by stratagem, I
have obtained a sight of you; be pleased now to have mercy on me, and
do not think of my crime.” Being thus humble, and having brought many
presents, which he placed before Nund Jee and Shree Krishnú, when
Varoonù with hands joined, and having bowed his head, stood before
them, Shree Krishnù, having taken the presents, returned thence to
Brindabun, accompanied by his father. On seeing them, all the
inhabitants of Bruj came crowding together. The cowherds enquired from
Nund Rae, “Where did the attendants of Varoonù carry you to?” Nund
Jee replied, “Shree Krishnù arrived just as they had laid hold of me,
and taken me to Varoonù’s. On seeing him, Varoonù having descended
from his throne, and fallen at his feet, said with the greatest
supplication of manner, Lord! pardon my offence, I have committed this
crime through ignorance, which be pleased not to cast a thought upon.”
Hearing this speech of Nund Jee’s, the cowherds said to each other,
“Brother! when Shree Krishnù Chund by supporting the hill protected
Bruj, we knew that Vishnù had descended on the earth in the house of
Nund, our chief.”
Conversing thus amongst themselves, all the cowherds with hands
joined, said to Shree Krishnù, “O great king! you have deceived us
for a long time, but now we have found out all your secrets, you are
the creator of the world, and the remover of all affliction. O lord of
the three worlds! be so kind as to show us the paradise of Vishnù.”
On hearing this, Shree Krishnù Jee, having in a second made a
paradise, exhibited it to them in Bruj. On beholding it, the
inhabitants of Bruj became possessed of knowledge; and they said with
hands joined, and bended heads, “Lord! your greatness is infinite; we
cannot speak of it, but through your goodness we have this day
discovered, that you are Narayun, and have been born in the world to
remove the burthens of the earth.”
Shree Shookdeo Jee said,--O great king! when the inhabitants of Bruj
had thus spoken, Shree Krishnù Chund, having brought them all under
the influence of charms and fascination, carried off the paradise
which he had just created for their inspection, and made his own
deceptive power vanish. All the cowherds thought what had happened a
dream; and Nund Jee, being under the power of delusion, regarded Shree
Krishnù as his own son.
CHAPTER XXX.
Having narrated thus much, Shree Shookdeo said,--I will relate, in
five sections, according to the light of my understanding, the manner
in which Huri engaged in pleasures and festive songs and dances with
the cowherdesses.
