New History of the Marathas v1.c6.93

v1.c6.93

The God Vishnu asks the Creator,— “I am glad you have executed my commands and created the universe ; but I should like to know what provision you have made for its protection:” The God Brahma replies:— “Yes, I have taken measures for this purpose also, by appointing the Sun and the Moon to look after the concerns of the East and the West. Don’t be anxious, pray, but go to sleep at ease in the milk-ocean.” Vishnu—“Yes, but what about the South and the North ?” Brahma—“That too has been provided for. Raja Shahji is looking after the South and the Emperor Shah Jahan the North.”
