This story reminded me about Krishna and I laughed. Yes, it is very much in the character of Krishna to be so carried away by a new Kanya in Harem, that even the Kingdom is cast away entirely.
The story is very beautiful and lovely. If you belong to Rasika-Bhaktas, the story will entail the enormous number of Bhavas in your soul!

There is an interesting story behind the origin of Bihari's Sat Sai, which finally consisted of 700 couplets.
The Raja of Amber married a young girl and was so enamoured with her that for a year he did not bother with court affairs till the affairs of the kingdom fell into confusion, this worried the prime minister and the Raja's head wife, who summoned Bihari and asked for his help.
Bihari wrote down the famous verse of the Sat Sai commencing with nahin paraga, which, ostensibly praising the beauty of the young queen, alludes to her age and gave a clear hint as to the state of affairs.
"There is no pollen; there is no sweet honey;
nor yet has the blossom opened.
If the bee is enamoured of the bud,
who can tell what will happen
when she is a full-blown flower."
This verse was concealed amongst the flower petals which were sent each day to the harem, to form the bed of the happy spouses.
In the morning the paper remained stiff amidst the withered petals, and bruised the king's body. He drew it out, read it, and at once returned to a sense of his responsibilities.
He went outside, held a public court, and summoned the ingenious writer of the verse.
Bihari Lal appeared, and the king, to show his satisfaction, promised him a gold mohur for every doha he might bring him in this way.
Bihari Lal wrote two or three dohas, and received on each occasion the promised reward, till some seven hundred in all had been composed. These were collected and made into a book.
The verses of the Sat Sai are rich in poetic flavour, elegance, and subtlety of feeling. They have the quality of miniature painting for vividness.
Brevity of expression is combined with richness of content and a power to elicit spiritual sentiment. They excel in refinement and grace.
The dramatic personae in these poems are Radha and Krishna, who are the Nayika and the Nayaka, and the sakhis, the maids of Radha.
The sakhis carry messages between the Lovers, they conciliate them when they quarrel, and among themselves they keep up a running commentary on the course of love.
Prince Azam Shah, third son of the Emperor Aurangzeb, who was a lover of Hindi poetry, called an assembly of poets and had the verses of the Sat Sai arranged.
This was entitled the Azam Shahi.
