Shree Shookdeo, the sage, said,--O great king! one day the sportive
Krishnù, the benefactor of his worshippers, thinking of the affection
of Koobja, went to her house, with the view of performing the promise
he had made her. When Koobja knew that Huri had come, she had cloths
of silk spread for him to walk on. She advanced to meet him with the
greatest joy; and all the good acts she had done in former births then
received their reward. Having given Oodho a seat outside, Krishnù
entered the house of Koobja; he there saw a splendid carpet spread in
a picture gallery, on which was arranged a beautiful couch of flowers.
Huri repaired to the couch, and Koobja, having withdrawn to another
room, bathed and perfumed herself, and having combed her braided hair,
wearing a most elegant dress and handsome jewels, adorned from head to
foot, having eaten pawn, and being sweetly scented, approached Shree
Krishnù Chund with the gaiety and endearment, with which Ruttee, (the
wife of Ramudevù,) approaches her husband. Having veiled herself from
a feeling of modesty, she remained apart and silent, having a great
dread of the first interview. On seeing her, Shree Krishnù Chund, the
root of joy, took her by the hand; and placing her near him, satisfied
her desires. He then arose, and came to Oodho; blushing and smiling,
and with downcast looks. O great king! having thus made Koobja happy,
Shree Krishnù Chund returned home with Oodho Jee, and said to Bulram,
“I promised Akroor that I would pay him a visit, so let us go to his
house first and afterwards send him to Hustinapoor, to bring us the
news of that quarter.” Upon this both brothers went to Akroor’s house;
he was much pleased at seeing Krishnù; and making a salutation, and
putting the dust of his feet on his head, said with joined hands, and
with great humility of manner, “O lord of compassion! you have shown
me great favour by coming here, and making my house pure.” Shree
Krishnù replied, “Uncle! why do you exalt me so highly? I am your
son;” and added, “through your kindness, uncle! all the demons have
been destroyed, but there is one subject, which occasions me anxiety,
as I have heard that Pandoo has gone to heaven, and that Doorjodhun
tyrannizes over my five brothers. My aunt, Koontee, is greatly
distressed; unless you go, who can afford her relief by explanations?”
Akroor Jee, on hearing these words, said in reply to Huri, “Be not
anxious on that subject, I will go to Hustinapoor and explain matters,
and bring back all the news.”
