Krishna (Hindu deity)
Then Akroor Jee, with joined hands, and bowing his head, said in a
supplicating manner, “O lord of Bruj! come and make my house pure, and
gratify your worshippers with a sight of you?” Huri said in reply to
Akroor, “First acquit yourself of your debt to Kuns, then show me your
house. Present our humble compliments.” Akroor bowed his head at these
words, and departed.
Having descended from his ruth, he arrived after some time at the
place where Kuns was holding a court. On seeing him, Kuns descended
from his throne, and gave him a most friendly reception; and taking
hold of his hand with great respect, seated him on a throne near
himself, and asked him to communicate all the news, and the
occurrences of his late visit.
Akroor replied, “The greatness of Bruj cannot be explained. How shall
I speak in fitting terms of the greatness of Nund. I have accomplished
what you instructed me to do. Bulram and Krishnù have both come here;
and all the inhabitants of Bruj have brought presents. They are
encamped on the banks of the river; great numbers of them have come
with numerous carts.”
Kuns was delighted at these words, and said, “Akroor Jee! you have
executed a most important business for me to-day, in having brought
Bulram and Krishnù; go now to your home, and repose.”
Having narrated thus much, Shree Shookdeo Jee said to the Raja
Pureechit,--O great king! on receiving permission from Kuns, Akroor
Jee went home; and was occupied with many thoughts and reflections.
And Huldhur and Gobind, having gone to where Nund and Oopnund were
sitting, and asked their permission to look at the city, Nund Rae Jee
produced some sweetmeats, which the two brothers ate; and afterwards
he gave them permission to go, and not to delay long.
When Nund, the chief, had thus spoken, the two brothers being greatly
rejoiced, took their companions, the cowherds’ children, with them,
and went forth to see the city. As they proceeded, they saw woods and
orchards on all sides of the city, in full blossom and fruit: and
birds were pouring forth in them all kinds of agreeable melodies.
There were large tanks, filled with pure water. In them, lotuses were
in full flower, on which swarms of bees were humming. And on the bank,
geese and herons, and other birds were sporting. A cool, fragrant
breeze was blowing. And on the margins of the enclosed grounds,
gardens of betel were planted. In the midst, for many koss, beds of
flowers were blooming. At different places, wheels and leather buckets
were in full play at the wells; and the gardeners, singing sweet
songs, were sprinkling water.
