dispatched some servants to look for them, and in one hour they 

 were all brought to Creeshna, who, taking them under his arm, 

 and kindly accepting all Rajah Bali had set before him, came up

 for the express purpose of exhibiting the marks of his divine favour 

 to Bhoolamen, the rajah of that place, and also to one Mhooret- 

 Deva, a poor Brahmin inhabitant of the same city, both of whom 

 where his most zealous devotees. When he arrived there, knowing
