vrindavan mean kuchh yajnik brahman yajn kar rahe the. bhagavan shrikrishn ne apane sakhaoan ko bhookha jan kar unake pas ann ke liye bheja. yajnikoan ne unhean phatakar kar khade d diya. tab bhagavan ne yajnik brahmanoan ki patniyoan ke pas unako bheja. ve shrikrishn ka madhur nam sunate hi vividh bhojanoan ke thal ko sajakar chal dian. jab yajnashala se sabhi yajniyoan ki patniyaan shyamasundar ke samip jane lagian, tab ek yajnik-patni ke pati bhojan kar rahe the. ve b de hi krodhi aur kripan the. brahman patni ne jab sabhi ko jate dekha, tab usaka hriday bhar aya. shyamasundari saloni soorat ko dekhane ki kitane samay ki usaki sadh thi. manamohan ki manjul moortika dhyan karate-karate hi usane anekoan din tatha ratriyoan ko bitaya tha. ve hi ghanashyam aj samip hi a gaye haian aur sang ki sabhi saheliyaan un manoharini moorti ke darshan se apane netroan ko sarthak banayeangi. is bat ke smaran se use eershya-si hone lagi. usane bhi jaldi se ek thal sajaya.

usake pati ne poochha- "kyoan, kahaan ki taiyari ho rahi hai?" usane saralata ke svar mean kaha- "sundarata ke sagar shyamasundar ke darshan ke liye maian saheliyoan ke sath jaooangi." usake pati ne kaha- "maian bhojan jo kar raha hooan?" usane atyant vinay aur sneh ke svar mean kaha- "ap bhojan to kar hi chuke haian, ab mujhe ane ki ajna dijiye. dekhiye, meri sab saheliyaan age nikali ja rahi haian?" krodhi brahman ekadam agshirma ban gaye aur kathor svar mean bole- "b di utavali lagi hai. kya dhara hai vahaan?" usane kaha- "vahaan tribhuvanamohan shyam ki jhaanki hai, mera man bina gaye nahian manata." brahman- "tab kya too bina gaye n manegi?" brahman ki patni ne kaha- "haan, maian un madanamohan ke darshan ke liye avashy jaooangi." krodh ke svar mean brahman ne kaha- "n jay tab?" usane dridhata se kaha- "n kaise jaooangi? jaroor jaooangi aur sabase age jaooangi. bhala, jo maree pranoan ke pran haian, man ke man haian aur atma ke atma haian, un sachche svami ke pas n jaooangi, to kya jagat ke jhuthe-banavati sambandhoan mean phansi rahooangi?" brahmani ne kaha- "ap mere sharir ke svami hai, atma ke prabhu to ve sare jagat ke samast praniyoan ke adhishvar-sarvalokamaheshvar paramatma shrimadanamohan hi haian. unhian sachche svami ke darshan se aj in netroan ko sarthak karooangi."

brahman khana-pina bhool gaye, unhean patni par b da krodh aya. mujhe svami n manakar aur meri upeksha karake yah doosare ke pas jati hai, isase ve abhimani brahman jal uthe. atyant hi hath ke sath krodh aur dridhata ke svar mean kaha- "achchhi bat hai, dekhata hooan, too meri ajna ke bina kaise jati hai." usane kaha- "ap vyarth hi krodh karate haian. mera-unaka aisa sambangh hai ki koee lakh prayatn kare, mujhe unake darshan karane se rok nahian sakata." brahman ne usi svar mean kaha- "hath kangan ko arasi kya. dekhana hai, too kaise madanamohan ke darshan karati hai." yah kahakar us krodhi brahman ne patni ke hath-pairoan ko kasakar baandh diya aur svayan unake pas hi baith gaya. yajnapatni ne dridhata ke svar mean kaha- "bas, itana hi kareange ya aur bhi kuchh?"

usane kaha- "aur yah karooanga ki jab tak ve sab lautakar nahian ayeangi, tab tak yahian baitha-baitha pahara deta rahooanga." usane sookhi hansi hansakar kaha- "pahare ki ab kya avashyakata hai. sharir par apaka adhikar hai, use apane baandh hi liya. pran aur atma to unhian paramatma shrinandanandan ke haian, un par to unhian ka ekamatr adhikar hai. sharir se n sahi, to mere pranoan ke aur atma ke sath unaka mel hoga." yah kahakar usane aankhe mooand lian. jis sundari malin ko manamohan ne apanakar nikal diya tha, apana yatharth svaroop-jnan karavakar kritarth kar diya tha, vahi malin mathura mean in brahmanoan ke gharoan mean phool-mala dene jaya karati thi. vahi pratidin ja-jakar in viprapatniyoan ke samane shyamasundar ke svaroop-saundary ka bakhan karati thi. usi ke mukh se isane yashodanandan ke svaroop ki vyakhya aur prashansa suni thi. usane jis prakar brajendranandan ke svaroop ka varnan suna tha, usi roop ka vah aankhean mooand dhire-dhire dhyan karane lagi. dhyan mean usane dekha, nilamani ke saman sharir ki sundar abha hai, bhare hue gol-gol mukh ke oopar kali-kali ghughanrali latean latak rahi haian. gale mean sundar phooloan ki mala tatha kanthe adi abhooshan p de hue haian. kamar mean sundar pili dhoti bandhi hai. kandhoan par jari ka dupatta phahara raha hai. hath mean chhoti-si murali shobhayaman hai. aise mand-mand muskarate hue shyamasundar atyant hi mamata ke sath dekhate hue meri or a rahe haian. unhean dekhate hi brahmani ka shvas ruk gaya. usake netroan ke donoan karoan mean se ashru chhalak p de. mukhy pran usake sharir se nikalakar priyatam ke sharir mean sama gaye. brahmani ka vachan saty hua. usaki atma sabase pahale shyamasundar ke pas pahuanch gayi. brahman ne dekha usaki patni ka pranahin sharir usake pas p da hai. vah hay-hay karake apane bhagy ko kosane laga. he pranoan ke pran! he sabhi ke priy svamin! is brahmani ki-si utkat abhilasha aur aisi ekagrata kabhi is premahin jivan mean bhi ek-adh kshan ke liye ho sakegi kya?
