द्वितीय राजतरङ्गिणी (जोनराज - कल्हणोत्तर मध्यकालीन कश्मीर का प्रामाणिक इतिहास)

KINGS OF KASHMÍRA. 15
habits, subjugated the whole of Kashmíra, with the help
of Kāmasūha. Many people came from various quarters
and resorted to the king for service, even as black bees
resort to the flower tree. Like a second Arjjuna, the king
established his authority on the borders of Pañcha-
gahvara, and his son Vabhruvāhana built the town of
Garbharapura.
Kurushāha was born of noble family, and the
mark of the bow string on his arm, bright as fame,
was beautious as sun rise on the summit of a hill. He
had three eyes; it was as if to proclaim to the people
that his children, the famed Enamukhi and others
would rule in Kashmíra, and that the rulers of that
country were a portion of the three eyed Hara. From
him was born Tāharāja whose quivering bow string
was often pulled to the ear. Then was born Shaha-
mera, the ardour of whose prowess was like the summer
sun, and the fire of whose volour was excited by the
tears of his enemy's wives. Once on a time, Shahmera
was wandering in a wood, and his eyes were at first
intent on game, but was eventually closed in sleep.
In his dream the great goddess told him in words of
nectar that the kingdom of Kashmíra would come to
his progeny. in the year 89, in the shaka year 1235,
he slowly came into Kashmíra. He came with his
relatives, and the king of Kashmíra greatly favoured him
by giving him a salary, even as the mango tree favours
the black bees.
