गांधारी का दुर्योधन को समझाना

duryodhan ke sabha se chale jane par bhishm ji kahate haian ki- 'duryodhan lakshy siddhi ke upay ke viparit kary karane vala tatha krodh aur lobh ke vashibhoot rahane vala hai.' tab shrikrishn dhritarashtr ko duryodhan v usake sahayogiyoan ko kaid karane ki salah dete haian ab dhritarashtr gaandhari ko bulate haian aur vah duryodhan ko samajhati haian, jisaka ullekh mahabharat udyog parv mean bhagavadyan parv ke aantargat adhyay 129 mean nimn prakar hua hai-

dhritarashtr ka gaandhari ko sabha mean bulana

vaishampayanaji kahate haian- janamejay! shrikrishn ka yah kathan sunakar raja dhritarashtr ne sampoorn dharmoan ke jnata vidur se shighratapoorvak kaha- 'tat! jao, param buddhimani aur dooradarshini gaandhari devi ko yahaan bula lao! maian usi ke sath is durbuddhi ko samajha bujhakar rah par lane ki cheshta karooanga. yadi vah bhi us dushtachitt duratma ko shaant kar sake to ham log apane suhrid shrikrishn ki ajna ka palan kar sakate haian. duryodhan lobh ke adhin ho raha hai. usaki buddhi dooshit ho gee hai aur usake sahayak dusht svabhav ke hi haian. sanbhav hai, gaandhari shaantisthapan ke lie kuchh kahakar use sanmarg ka darshan kara sake. yadi aisa hua to duryodhan ke dvara upasthit kiya hua hamara mahan evan bhayankar sankat dirghakal ke lie shaant ho jaega aur chirasthayi yogakshem ki prapti sulabh hogi.

dhritarashtr-gaandhari sanvad

raja ki yah bat sunakar vidur dhritarashtr ke adesh se dooradarshini gaandhari devi ko vahaan bula le ae. us samay dhritarashtr ne kaha- gaandhari! tumhara vah duratma putr gurujanoan ki ajna ka ullanghan kar raha hai. vah aishvary ke lobh mean p dakar rajy aur pran donoan ganva dega. maryada ka ullanghan karane vala vah moodh duratma ashisht purush ki bhaanti hitaishi suhridoan ki ajna ko thukarakar apane papi sathiyoan ke sath sabha se bahar nikal gaya hai. vaishampayanaji kahate haian- janamejay! pati ka yah vachan sunakar yashasvini rajaputri gaandhari mahan kalyan ka anusandhan karati huee is prakar boli. gaandhari ne kaha- maharaj! rajy ki kamana se atur hue apane putr ko shighr bulavaeeye. dharm aur arth ka lop karane vala koee bhi ashisht purush rajy nahian pa sakata, tathapi sarvatha uddandata ka parichay dene vale us dusht ne rajy ko prapt kar liya hai. maharaj! apako apana beta bahut priy hai, at: vartaman paristhiti ke lie ap hi atyant niandaniy haian, kyoanki ap usake papapoorn vicharoan ko janate hue bhi sada usi ki buddhi ka anusaran karate haian. rajan! is duryodhan ko kam aur krodh ne apane vash mean kar liya hai, yah lobh mean phans gaya hai; at: aj apaka ise balapoorvak pichhe lautana asanbhav hai. dusht sahayakoan se yukt, moodh, ajnani, lobhi aur duratma putr ko apana rajy sauanp dene ka phal maharaj dhritarashtr svayan bhog rahe haian. koee bhi raja svajanoan mean phailati huee phoot ki upeksha kaise kar sakata hai? rajan! svajanoan mean phoot dalakar unase vilag hone vale apaki sabhi shatru hansi u dayeange. maharaj! jis apatti ko sam athava bhedaniti se par kiya ja sakata hai, usake lie atmiyajanoan par dand ka prayog kaun karega?

duryodhan ka sabha mean pun: agaman evan gaandhari ka use samajhana

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- janamejay! pita dhritarashtr ke adesh aur mata gaandhari ki ajna se vidur asahishnu duryodhan ko pun: sabha mean bula le ae. duryodhan ki aankhean krodh se lal ho rahi thian. vah phuphakarate hue sarp ki bhaanti lanbi saansean khianchata hua mata ki bat sunane ki ichchha se sabha bhavan mean pun: pravisht hua. apane kumargagami putr ko pun: sabha ke bhitar aya dekh gaandhari usaki nianda karati huee shaantisthapan ke lie is prakar boli- ‘beta duryodhan! meri yah bat suno. jo sage-sanbandhiyoan sahit tumhare lie hitakarak aur bhavishy mean sukh ki prapti karane vali hai. bharatashreshth duryodhan! tumhare pita, pitamah bhishm, achary dron, kripachary aur vidur tumase jo kuchh kahate haian, apane in suhridoan ki vah bat man lo. yadi tum shaant ho jaoge to tumhare dvara bhishm ki, pita ji ki, meri tatha dron adi any hitaishi suhridoan ki bhi pooja sampann ho jaegi. bharatashreshth! mahamate! koee bhi apani ichchha matr se rajy ki prapti, raksha athava upabhog nahian kar sakata. jisane apani iandriyoan ko vash mean nahian kiya hai, vah dirghakal tak rajy ka upabhog nahian kar sakata. jisane apane man ko jit liya hai, vah medhavi purush hi rajy ki raksha kar sakata hai. kam aur krodh manushy ko dhan se door khianch le jate haian. un donoan shatruoan ko jit lene par raja is prithvi par vijay pata hai. janeshvar! yah mahan prabhutv hi rajy namak abhisht sthan hai. jinaki aantaratma dooshit hai, ve isaki raksha nahian kar sakate. mahatpad ko prapt karane ki ichchha vala purush apani iandriyoan ko arth aur dharm mean niyantrit kare. iandriyoan ko jit lene par buddhi usi prakar badhati hai, jaise eeandhan dalane se ag prajvalit ho uthati hai. jaise uddand gho de kaboo mean n hone par moorkh sarathi ko marg mean hi mar dalate haian, usi prakar yadi in iandriyoan ko kaboo mean n rakha jay to ye manushy ka nash karane ke lie bhi paryapt haian.

jo pahale apane man ko n jitakar mantriyoan ko jitane ki ichchha karata hai athava mantriyoan ko jite bina shatruoan ko jitana chahata hai, vah vivash hokar rajy aur jivan donoan se vanchit ho jata hai. at: pahale apane man ko hi shatru ke sthan par rakhakar ise jitean. tatpashchath mantriyoan aur shatruoan par vijay pane ki ichchha karean. aisa karane se usaki vijay pane ki abhilasha kabhi vyarth nahian hoti hai. jisane apani iandriyoan ko vash mean kar rakha hai, mantriyoan par vijay pa li hai tatha jo aparadhiyoan ko dand pradan karata hai, khoob soch-samajhakar kary karane vale us dhir purush ki lakshmi atyant seva karati hai. chhote chhidr vale jal se dhaki huee do machhaliyoan ki bhaanti ye kam aur krodh bhi sharir ke bhitar hi chhipe hue hai, jo manushy ke jnan ko nasht kar dete haian. inhian donoan kam aur krodh ke dvara devataoan ne svarg mean jane vale purush ke lie us lok ka daravaja band kar rakha hai. vitarag purush se darakar hi devataoan ne svarg prapti ke pratibandhak kam aur krodh ki vriddhi ki hai. jo raja kam, krodh, lobh, danbh aur darp ko achchhi tarah jitane ki kala janata hai, vah is prithvi ka shasan kar sakata hai. at: arth, dharm tatha shatruoan ka parabhav chahane vale raja ko sada apani iandriyoan ko kaboo mean rakhane ka prayatn karana chahie. jo raja kam athava krodh se vashibhoot hokar svajanoan ya doosaroan ke prati mithya bartav karata hai, usake koee sahayak nahian hote haian. tat! paandav paraspar sangathit hone ke karan ekibhoot ho ge haian. ve paramajnani, shooravir tatha shatrusanhar mean samarth haian. tum unake sath milakar sukhapoorvak is prithvi ka rajy bhog sakoge.

tat! shaantanunandan bhishm tatha maharathi dronachary jaisa kah rahe haian, vah sarvatha saty hai. vastav mean shrikrishn aur arjun ajey haian. at: anayas hi mahan karm karane vale mahabahu bhagavan shrikrishn ki sharan lo, kyoanki bhagavan keshav prasann hone par donoan hi pakshoan ko sukhi bana sakate haian. jo manushy apana bhala chahane vale jnani evan vidvan suhridoan ke shasan mean nahian rahata, unake upadesh ke anusar nahian chalata, vah shatruoan ka anand badhane vala hota hai. tat! yuddh karane mean kalyan nahian hai. usase dharm aur arth ki bhi prapti nahian ho sakati, phir sukh to mil hi kaise sakata hai? yuddh mean sada vijay hi ho, yah bhi nishchit nahian hai; at: usamean man n lagao. shatrudaman! mahaprajn! apas ki phoot ke bhay se hi pitamah bhishm ne tumhare pita ne aur maharaj bahlik ne bhi paandavoan ko rajy ka bhag pradan kiya hai. usi ke dene ka aj tum yah pratyaksh phal dekhate ho ki un shooravir paandavoan dvara nishkantak banaee huee is sampoorn prithvi ka rajy bhog rahe ho. shatruoan ka daman karane vale putr! yadi tum apane mantriyoan sahit rajy bhogana chahate ho to paandavoan ko unaka yathochit bhag (adha rajy) de do. bharat! bhoomandal ka adha rajy mantriyoan sahit tumhare jivan nirvah ke lie paryapt hai. tum suhridoan ki ajna ke anusar chalakar suyash prapt karoge. tat! shriman, manasvi, buddhiman tatha jiteandriy paandavoan ke sath hone vala kalah tumhean mahan sukh se vanchit kar dega. bharatashreshth! tum paandavoan ko unaka rajy bhag dekar suhridoan ke badhate hue krodh ko shaant kar do aur apane rajy ka yathochit riti se shasan karate raho.

beta! paandavoan ko jo terah varshoan ke lie nirvasit kar diya gaya, yahi unaka mahan apakar hua hai. mahamate! tumhare kam aur krodh se is apakar ki aur bhi vriddhi huee hai. ab tum sandhi ke dvara ise shaant kar do. tum jo kuanti ke putroan ka dhan h dap lena chahate ho, aisa karane ki tumhari shakti nahian hai. krodh ko dridhatapoorvak dharan karane vala sootaputr karn tatha tumhara bhaee du:shasan- ye donoan bhi aisa karane mean samarth nahian haian. jis samay bhishm, dron, kripachary, karn tatha bhimasen, arjun aur dhrishtadyumn- ye atyant kupit hokar paraspar yuddh kareange, us samay sari praja ka vinash avashyanbhavi hai. tat! tum krodh ke vashibhoot hokar samast kauravoan ka vadh n karao. tumhare lie is sampoorn bhoomandal ka vinash n ho. moodh! tum jo yah samajh rahe ho ki bhishm, dron aur kripachary adi apani poori shakti lagakar meri or se yuddh kareange, yah is samay kadapi sanbhav nahian hai. kyoanki in atmajnani purushoan ki drishti mean is rajy ka paandavoan athava tum logoan ke pas rahana saman hi hai. inake hriday mean donoan ke lie ek-sa hi prem aur sthan hai tatha rajy se bhi badhakar ye dharm ko mahattv dete haian. is rajy ka inhoanne jo ann khaya hai, usake bhay se yadyapi ye tumhari or se l dakar apane pranoan ka parityag kar deange, tathapi raja yudhishthir ki or kabhi vakr drishti se nahian dekh sakeange. tat bharatashreshth! is sansar mean keval lobh karane se kisi ko dhan ki prapti hoti nahian dikhaee deti, at: lobh se kuchh siddh hone vala nahian hai. tum paandavoan ke sath sandhi kar lo.'
