कीचक द्वारा द्रौपदी का अपमान

mahabharat virat parv ke kichakavadh parv ke aantargat adhyay 16 mean kichak dvara draupadi ke apaman ka varnan hua hai-

kichak evan draupadi ka sanvad

kichak ne kaha- sundar alakoanvali sairandhri! tumhara svagat hai. aj ki rat ka prabhat mere liye b da mangalamay hai. ab tum meri svamini hokar mera priy kary karo. maian dasiyoan ko ajna deta hooan; ve tumhare liye sone ke har, shankh ki choodi़yaan, vibhinn nagaroan mean bane hue shubhr suvarnamay karnaphool ke jodatre, sundar mani-ratnamay abhooshan, reshami sadi़yaan tatha mrigacharm adi le avean.

draupadi boli- durbuddhe! jaise nishad brahmani ka sparsh nahian kar sakata, usi prakar tum bhi mujhe chhoo nahian sakate. tum mera tiraskar karake bhari se bhari durgati mean n p do. us duravastha mean n jao, jahaan dharmamaryada ka chhedan karane vale bahut se parastrigami manushy bil mean sone vale ki doan ki bhaanti jaya karate haian. rajakumari sudeshna ne mujhe madira lane ke liye tumhare pas bheja hai. unaka kahana hai- ‘mujhe b de jor ki pyas lagi hai; atah shighr mere liye pine yogy ras le ao’.

kichak ne kaha- kalyani! rajaputri sudeshna ki mangayi huee vastu doosari dasiyaan pahuancha deangi. aisa kahakar sootaputr ne draupadi ka dahina hath pak d liyo.

draupadi boli- o papi! yadi meanne aj tak kabhi man se bhi abhimanavash apane patiyoan ke viruddh acharan n kiya ho, to is saty ke prabhav se maian dekhooangi ki too shatru ke adhin hokar prithvi par ghasita ja raha hai.

kichak dvara draupadi ka apaman

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajan! b de-b de netroan vali draupadi ko is prakar phatakarati dekh kichak ne use pak d lene ki ichchha ki; kintu vah sahasa jhataka dekar pichhe ki or hatane lagi; itane mean hi jhapatakar kichak ne usake dupatte ka chhor pak d liya. ab vah b de veg se use kaboo mean lane ka prayatn karane laga. idhar rajakumari draupadi baranbar lanbi saansean bharati huee usase chhootane ka prayatn karane lagi. usane sanbhalakar donoan hathoan se kichak ko b de jor ka dhakka diya. jisase vah papi j d-mool se kate hue vriksh ki bhaanti (dhamm se) jamin par ja gira. is prakar pak d mean ane par kichak ko dharati par girakar bhay se kaanpati huee draupadi ne bhagakar us rajasabha ki sharan li, jahaan raja yudhishthir vidyaman the. kichak ne bhi uthakar bhagati huee draupadi ka pichha kiya aur usaka keshapash pak d liya. phir usane raja ke dekhate-dekhate use prithvi par girakar lat mari.

soory dev dvara draupadi ki raksha

bharat! itane mean hi bhagavan soory ne jis rakshas ko draupadi ki raksha ke liye niyukt kar rakkha tha, usane kichak ko pak dakar aandhi ke saman veg se door pheank diya. rakshas dvara balapoorvak ahat hokar kichak ke sare sharir mean chakkar a gaya aur vah j d se kate hue vriksh ki bhaanti nishchesht hokar prithvi par gir p da. sabha mean mahamana raja virat ke tatha vriddh brahmanoan aur kshatriyoan ke dekhate dekhate kichak ke padaprahar se pi dit huee draupadi ke muanh se rakt bahane laga. use us avastha mean dekhakar samasat sabhasadh sab or se hahakar kar uthe aur sab lok kahane lage- ‘sootaputr kichak! tumhara yah kary uchit nahian hai. yah bechari abala apane bandhu-bandhavoan se rahit hai. ise kyoan pi da de rahe ho?’ us samay bhimasen aur yudhishthir bhi rajasabha mean baithe hue the. unhoanne kichak ke dvara draupadi ka yah apaman apani aankhoan dekha; jise ve sahan n kar sake.

bhimasen ka uttejit hona

mahamana bhimasen duratma kichak ko mar dalane ki ichchha se us samay roshavash daantoan se daant pisane lage. unaki aankhoan ki palakean oopar uthakar tan gayian. unamean dhooaan sa chha gaya, lalat mean pasina nikal aya aur bhauanhean tedhi hokar bhayankar pratit hone lagian. shatruhanta bhim hath se mathe ka pasina poanchhane lage. phir turant hi prachand kop mean bhar gaye aur sahasa uthane ki ichchha karane lage. tab raja yudhishthir ne rahasy prakat ho jane ke dar se apane aangoothe se bhim ka aangootha dabaya ar is prakar unhean uttejit hone se roka. bhimasen matavale gajaraj ki bhaanti ek vriksh ki or dekh rahe the.

yudhishthir ka bhimasen ko samajhana

tab yudhishthir ne unhe rokate hue kaha-‘ballav! kya tumhean eeandhan ke liye vriksh ki or dekhate ho? yadi rasoee ke liye sookhi lak di chahiye, to bahar jakar vriksh se le lo ‘jis hare bhare vriksh ki shital chhaya ka aray lekar raha jay, usake kisi ek patte se bhi droh nahian karana chahiye. usake pahale upakaroan ko sada yad rakhakar usaki raksha karani chahiye’. tab bhaee ke sanket ko samajhane vale bhimasen us samay chup ho gaye. bhim ke us krodh ko tatha raja yudhishthir ki shantipoorn cheshta ko dekhakar draupadi adhik kruddh ho uthi.

draupadi ki yaanchana

kichak ke pichha karane se krishna ki aankhean rosh se lal ho rahi thi. vah khij se bar-bar rone lagi. idhar sundar katiprant vali draupadi rajasabha ke dvar par akar apane din hriday vale patiyoan ki or dekhati huee matsyanaresh se boli. us samay vah pratijnaroop dharm se abaddh hone ke karan apane svaroop ko chhipa rahi thi; kintu usake netr mano jala rahe hoan, is prakar bhayankar ho uthe the. draupadi ne kaha - jo svabhav se hi prajajanoan ki raksha mean lage hue haian, sada dharm aur saty ke marg mean sthit haian tatha praja aur apani santan mean koee anatar nahian samajhate, un amit tejasvi rajaoan ko chahiye ki ve sada ashritoan ka palan evan sanrakshan karean. jo priyajanoan tatha dveshapatroan mean bhi saman bhav rakhate haian, prajajanoan mean vivad arambh hone par jo raja dharmasan par baithakar samanabhav se pratyek kary par vichar karate haian, ve donoan lokoan ko jit lete haian.. rajanh! ap dharm ke asan par baithe haian. mujh niraparadh abala ki raksha kijiye. maharaj! maianne koee aparadh nahian kiya hai, to bhi duratma kichak ne apake dekhate-dekhate mujhako lat mari hai; mere sath (kharide hue) das ka sa bartav kiya hai. matsyaraj! jaise pita apane auras putroan ki raksha karata hai, usi prakar ap apane prajajanoan ka sanrakshan kijiye. jo moh mean dooba hua raja adharmayukt kary karata hai, us duratma ko usake shatru shighr hi vashsa mean kar lete haian. ap matsyakul mean utpann hue haian. saty hi matsyanareshoan ka mahan ashray raha hai. ap hi is dharmaparayan kul mean aise hi dharmatma paida hue haian. atah naresh! maian apase sharan dene ke liye rudan karati hooan. rajendr! aj mujhe is papi kichak se bachaiye. purushadham kichak yahaan mujhe asahay janakar mar raha hai. yah nich apane dharm ki or nahian dekhata hai. jo bhoomipal n karane yogy karyoan ka arambh nahian karate, karane yogy kartavyoan ka nirantar palan karate haian aur sada praja ke sath uttam bartav karate haian, ve svargalok mean jate haian.

parantu rajan! jo raja kartavy aur akartavy ke antar ko janate hue bhi svechchhacharitavash prajavarg ke sath papachar karate haian, ve adhomukh ho narak mean jate haian.. raja log yajn, dan athava guruseva se bhi vaisa dharm (puny) nahian hota hai, jaisa ki apane kartavy ka thik-thik palan karane se prapt karate haian. poorvakal mean srishti ki rachana ke samay brahma ji ne kriya karane aur n karane ki sthiti mean puny or pap ki prapti ke vishay mean is prakar kaha tha- ‘manushyoan! tum logoan ko is prithvi lok meean dvandvaroop mean prapt dharm aur adharm ke vishay mean bhali-bhaanti samajhakar karm karana chahiye; kyoanki achchhi ya buri jaisi niyat se kam kiya jata hai, vaisa hi karmajanit phal milata hai. ‘kalyanakari manushy kalyan ka aur papachari purush pap ke phalasvaroop duahkh ka bhagi hota hai. jo inake sansarg mean ata hai, vah bhi (karmanusar) svarg ya narak mean jata hai. ‘manushy mohapoorvak satkarm ya dushkarm karake mrityu ke bad bhi man-hi-man pashchatap karata rahata hai’. is prakar uttam vachan kahakar brahma ji ne indr ko vida kar diya. indr bhi brahma ji se poochhakar devalok mean aye aur devasamrajy ka palan karane lage. rajenadr! devadhidev parameshthi brahma ji ne jaisa upadesh diya hai, usake anusar ap bhi kartavy aur akartavy ke nirnay mean dridhata poorvak lage rahiye.

virat ka kichak par shasan karane mean asamarth hona

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajan! panchalarajakumari draupadi ke is prakar vilap karane par bhi matsyaraj virat balabhimani kichak par shasan karane mean asamarth hi rahe. unhoanne shantipoorvak samajha-bujhakar hi soot ko vaisa karane se mana kiya. yadyapi kichak ne bhari aparadh kiya tha, to bhi matsyaraj ne use aparadh ke anusar dand nahian diya.

draupadi ka vilap

yah dekh devakanya ke saman sundari evan vyavahar dharm ko janane vali sadhvi draupadi uttam dharm ka smaran karati huee raja virat tatha samast sabhasadoan ki or dekhakar dukhi hriday se is prakar boli- ‘jin mere patiyoan ke vairi ko paanch deshoan ko par karake chhathe desh mean rahane par bhi bhay ke mare niand nahian ati, aj unhian ki manini patni mujh asahay abala ko ek sootaputr ne lat se mari hai. ‘jo sada doosaroan ko dete haian, kintu kisi se yachana nahian karate, jo brahman bhakt tatha satyavadi haian, unhian ki mujh manini patni ko sootaputr ne lat mari hai. ‘jinake dhanush ki tankar sada dev-dundubhiyoan ki gambhir dhvani ke saman sunayi p dati hai, unhian ki mujh manini patni ko sootaputr ne lat se mara hai. ‘jo tapasvi, jitenidray, balavanh aur atyant mani haian, unhian ki mujh manini patni par sutaputr ne pair se aghat kiya hai. ‘mere pati is sampoorn sansar ko mar sakate haian; kiantu ve dharm ke bandhan mean bandhe haian, isi se aj unaki manini patni par sootaputr ne pair se prahar kiya. ‘jo sharan chahane vale athava sharan mean aye hue sab logoan ko sharan dete haian, ve mere maharathi pati apane svaroop ko chhipakar a jagat mean kahaan vichar rahe haian ? jo amitatejasvi aur balavan haian, ve (mere pati) ek sootaputr dvara mari jati huee apani sati-sadhvi priy patni ka apaman kayaroan aur napuansakoan ki bhaanti kaise sahan kar rahe haian ? ‘aj unaka amarsh, parakram aur tej kahaan hai , jo ek durachari ki mar khati huee apani patni ki raksha nahian karate haian. yahaan ka raja virat bhi dharm ko kalankit karane vala hai; jo mujh niraparadh abala ko apane samane mar khati dekhakar bhi sahan kiye jata hai. bhala, isake rahate maian is apaman ka badala chukane ke liye kya kar sakati hooan ?

‘yah raja hokar bhi kichak ke prati kuchh bhi rajochit nyay nahian kar raha hai. matsrooraj! tumhara yah luteroan ka sa dharm is rajasabha mean shobha nahian deta. tumhare nikat is kichak dvara mujh par mar p di, yah kadapi uchit nahian kaha ja sakata. yahaan jo sabhasad baithe haian, ve bhi kichak ka yah atyachar dekhean. ‘kichak ko dharm ka jnan nahian hai aur matsyaraj bhi kisi prakar dharmajn nahian haian tatha jo is adharmi raja ke pas baithate haian, ve sabhasad bhi dharm ke jnata nahian haian’.

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajanh! uttam varnavali draupadi ne us samay aankhean mean aansoo bharakar aise vachanoan dvara matsyaraj ko bahut phatakara aur ulahana diya.

virat ka sanvad

tab virat bole- sairandhri! hamare paroksh tum donoan mean kis prakar kali hua hai; ise maian nahian janata aur vastavik bat ko jane bina nyay karane mean mera kya kaushal prakat hoga ?

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajanh! tadanantar sabhasadoan ne sara rahasy janakar draupadi ki bar-bar sarahana ki. anek bar sadhuvad diya aur kichak ki ninda karate hue use bahut dhikkara.

sabhasadoan ka sanvad

sabhasad bole- sampoorn manohar aangoan se sushobhit yah b de-b de netroan vali sadhvi jisaki dharmapatni hai, use jivan mean bahut b da labh mila hai. vah kisi prakar shok nahian kar sakata. jisaka sharir shubh aur hrisht-pusht hai, jisaka mukh apane saundary se kamal ko parajit kar raha hai tatha jisaki mand mand gati hans ko aur muskan kundapushpoan ki shobha ko tiraskrit kar rahi hai, vahi yah nari padaprahar ke yogy nahian hai. jisake battisoan daant masoo doan mean dridhata poorvak abaddh aur ujjval haian, jisake kesh chikane aur komal haian, vaisi yah nari lat marane yogy kadapi nahian hai. jisaki hatheli mean kamal, chakr, dhvaja, shankh, mandir aur magar ke chihn haian, vah shubhalakshana nari pairoan se thukarayi jay, yah kadapi uchit nahian hai. jisake sharir mean char avart haian aur v sab pradakshinabhav se sushobhit haian, jisak aang saman (sudaul), shubh lakshanoan sak sampann aur skindh haian, vah lat mane yogy nahian hai. jisake hathoan, pairoan aur daantoan mean chhidr dikhayi dete haian, vah kamaladalalochana kanya pairoan se thokar marane yogy kaise ho sakati hai ? yah samasat shubh lakshnoan se sampann haian. isaka mukh poornachand ke saman manohar hai. yah sundar roopavali sumukhi nari pairoan se thukarane yogy nahian hai. yah devaangana ke saman saubhagyashalini, indrani ke saman shobhasampann tatha apsara ke saman sundar roop dharan karane vali hai. yah lat marane yogy kadapi nahian hai. manushy-jati mean to aisi sati-sadhvi stri sulabh hi nahian hoti. isake sampoorn aang nirdosh haian. ham to ise manavi nahian; devi maranate haian. vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajan! jab is prakar draupadi ko dekhakar sabhasad usaki prashansa kar rahe the, us samay kichak ke prati krodh ke karan yudhishthir ke lalat par pasina a gaya.

yudhishthir ka sanvad

tadanantar sundari draupadi lanbi saans khianchakar nicha mukh kiye bhoomi par kh di ho gayi aur raja yudhishthir ko kuchh kahane ke liye udyat dekh vah svayan maun rah gayi. tab un kurunandan ne apani pyari rani se is prakar kaha- ‘sairandhri! ab too yahaan n thahar. rani sudeshna ke mahan mean chali ja. ‘pati ka anusaran karane vali virapatniyaan sab klesh chupachap uthati haian, ve sadhvi deniyaan patilok par vijay pa leti haian. ‘maian samajhata hooan, tumhare soory ke saman tejasvi pati gandharvagan abhi krodh karane ka avasar nahian dekhate; isiliye tumhare pas dau dakar nahian a rahe haian.‘sundar keshaprant vali sairandhri! tum mokshadharm se sambandh rakhane vali batean suno. dharmashastr ke anusar kulavati striayoan ka dharm is prakar dekha gaya hai. ‘stri ke liye n koee yajn hai, n shraddh hai aur n upavas ka hi vidhan hai. striyoan ke dvara jo pati ki seva hoti hai, vahi unhean svarg ki prapti karane vali hai. ‘kumaravastha mean pita, yuvavastha mean pati aur vriddhavastha mean putr nari ki raksha karata hai. stri ko kabhi svatantr nahian rahana chahiye. ‘pativrata striyaan nana prakar ke klesh sahakar tatha shatruoan dvara apamanit hokar bhi apane patiyoan par kabhi krodh nahian karatian. ‘is prakar anantabhav se pati ki shushrusha karane vali striyaan punyalokoan ko prapt kar leti hai. sairandhri! tumhare patiyoan ke kupit hone par to vritrahanata indr bhi yuddh mean unaka samana nahian kar sakate. ‘vishalalochane! yadi unake sath teri koee shart huee ho, to use yad kar le. kshamashile! kshama sabase uttam dharm hai. ‘kshama saty hai, kshama dan hai, kshama dharm hai aur kshama hi tap hai. kshamashil manushyoan ke liye hi yah lok aur palok hai. jisake do (uttarayan aur dakshinayan) aansh haian, barah (mas) aang haian, chaubis (paksh) parv haian aur taran sau sath (din) are haian, us kalachakr ko poorn hone mean yadi ek mas ki kami rah gayi ho; to kaun usaki praticha n karake kshama ka tyag kar sakata hai ?’

vaiyampayan ji kahate haian- rajanh! itana kahane par bhi jab draupadi vahaan kh di hi rah gayi, tab dharmaraj ne punah usase kaha- ‘sairandhri! too avasar ko nahian pahachanati; isiliye nati ki bhaanti rajasabha mean ro rahi hai aur dyootakri da mean lage hue matsyarajakumaroan ke khelane mean vighan dalati hai.‘sairandhri! jao, gandharv tumhara priy kareange. jisane tumhara apakar kiya hai, use marakar tumhara duahkh door kar deange’.

sairandhri ka sanvad

sairandhri boli- jinake b de bhaee sada jooa khela karate haian, un dayalu gandharvoan ke liye maian atyant dharmaparayana rahooangi. mera apakar karane vale duratma un sabake liye vadhy hoan.

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajanh! yoan kahakar sundar katipradesh vali draupadi tivr gati se rani sudeshna ke mahal ko chali gayi. usake kesh khule hue the aur krodh se usaki aankhean lal ho rahi thian. us samay roti huee draupadi ka mukh is prakar sushobhit ho raha tha, mano akash mean meghamala ke avaran se mukt chandrabimb shobha pa raha ho. samasat aangoan mean dhooli se dhoosarit gajarajavadhoo ki bhaanti shobha pane vali tatha hathi ki sooand ke samanajaanghoan vali draupadi svami ki ajna shirodhary karake rajasabha se antahpur mean chali gayi. usake stan ek doosare se sate hue the, tatha netr mrigashavakoan ke saman chanchal ho rahe the. vah kichak ke hath se chhootakar shok aur du:kh se is prakar malin ho rahi thi, mano chandrama ki prabha varshakal ke meghoan se achchhadit ho gayi ho. jisake liye samast pandav apane pran tak de sakate the, usi krishna ko us dasha mean dekhakar bhi dharmatma pandav kshama dharan kiye baithe the. jaise samudr apane tat ki sima ka ullanghan nahian karata, usi prakar ve ajnatavas ke liye svikrit samay ka atikraman nahian kar rahe the.

sudeshna dvara draupadi se vilap ka karan poochhana

sudeshna ne poochha- vararohe! tumhean kisane mara hai ? shobhane! too kyoe roti hai ? bhadre! aj kisaka sucha samapt ho gaya hai? kisane tumhara aparadh kiya hai ? kamal ke saman kamaniy, sundar daant, oth, netr aur nasika se sushobhit tatha poornachandr ke saman kantiman tumhara yah manohar mukh aisa (malin) kyoan ho raha hai ? tum roti huee apane mukh par bahe hue ashruoan ko poanchh rahi ho. kali putali vale saral netroan se sushobhit, bimbaphal ke saman arun adharoan se upalakshit aur atyant manohar prabha se prakashit tumhara mukh is samay aansoo kyoan gira raha hai ?

krishna evan sudeshna ka vartalap

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- janamejay! tab krishna ne lanbi saansean khianchakar kaha- ‘tum sab kuchh janati huee bhi mujhase kya poochh rahi ho ? svayan hi mujhe apane bhaee ke pas bhejakar ab is prakar ki batean kyoan bana rahi ho ? draupadi phir boli- maian tumhare liye madira lene gayi thi. vahaan kichak ne rajasabha mean maharaj ke dekhate-dekhate mujh par prahar kiya hai; thik usi tarah, jaise koee nirjan van mean kisi asahay abala par aghat karata ho.

sudeshna ne kaha- sundar latoan vali sundari! yadi tumhari sammati ho, to maian kichak ko marava dalooan; jo kam se unmatt hokar tum jaisi durlabh devi ka apaman kar raha hai.

sairandhri boli - maharani! use doosare hi log mar daleange, jinaka ki aparadh vah kar raha hai. maian to samajhati hooan, ab vah nishchay hi yamalok ki yatra karega. rani! aj tum apane bhaee ke liye shighr hi jivit shraddh kar lo. usake liye avashyak dan le lo. sath hi use aankh bharakar dekh lo. mera vishvas hai ki ab usake pran nahian raheange. mere paanch dharmatma patiyoan mean se ek atyant duahsah evan amarshashil vir hai. ve kupit hone par is rat mean hi is sansar ko manushyoan se shoony kar sakate haian. parantu ichchhanusar roop dharan karane vale ve gandharv n jane kyoan abhi tak krodh nahian kar rahe haian. vaishampayan ji kahate haian- janamejay! rani sudeshna se aisa kahakar duahkh se mohit huee sairandhri ne kichak ke vadh ke liye vrat ki diksha grahan ki. doosari striyoan ne usase prarthana ki. rani sudeshna ne bhi use bahut manaya; tathapi n vah snan karati, n bhojan karati aur n apane sharir ki dhool hi jha dati thi. usaka muanh rakt se bhianga hua tha, aankhoan mean rulaee ke aansoo bhare hue the. use is prakar shok se santapt hokar roti dekh sab striyaan man-hi-man kichak ke vadh ki ichchha karane lagi.

janamejay bole- vipravar! sansar ki yuvatiyoan mean shreshth evan pativrata mahabhaga draupadi ko kichak ne lat mar di; isase vah mahanh duahkh mean doob gayi. aho! yah kitane kasht ki bat hai. jis samay sindhuraj jayadrath ne balapoorvak usaka apaharan kiya tha, us samay usane apane patiyoan ki bahin dahshala ka samman karate hue vah kasht sah liya aur shubhalakshna sindhuraj ko koee shap nahian diya. parantu jab duratma kichak ne usaka tiraskar kiya aur use lat se mara, us samay mahabhaga krishna ne us dusht ko shap kyoan nahian de diya ? devi draupadi tej ki rashi thi.
vah dharmajna aur satyavadini thi. usake jaisi tejasvini stri apane kesh pak d liye jane par asamarth ki bhaanti chupachap sah legi, yah sambhav nahian hai. yadi usane sah liya, to isaka koee chhota karan nahian hoga. sadhushiromane! maian vah karan sunana chahata hooan.

kichak ki utpatti ka varnan

krishna ke klesh ki bat sunakar mera man atyant vyathit ho raha hai. mune matsyaraj ka sala dusht kichak kisake kul mean utpann hua tha ? asaia vah bal se unmatt kyoan ho gaya tha? vaishampayan ji ne kaha - kurukul ki kirti badhane vala 1893 naresh! tumhara uthaya hua yah prashn thik hai. maian yah sab vistar poorvak bataooanga. rajanh! kshatriy pita aur brahmani mata se utpann hua balak ‘soot’ kahalata hai. pratilomasankar jatiyoan mean akeli yah soot jati hi dvij kahi gayi hai. dvijochit karmoan se yukt us soot ko hi rathakar bhi kahate haian. ise kshatriy se hin aur vaishy se shreshth batate haian. rajanh! pahale ke nareshoan ne sootajati ke sath bhi vaivahik sambandh sthapit kiya hai, parantu unhean raja ki upadhi nahian prapt hoti thi. unake liye sootoan ke nam se sootarajy hi niyat kar diya gaya tha. vah rajy sootajati ke ek purush ne kisi kshatriy raja ki seva karake hi prapt kiya tha. suprasiddh kekay namak raja sootoan ke hi adhipati the. unaka janm kisi kshatriy kanya ke garbh se hua tha. ve sarathi karm mean anupam the. kurushreshth! unake malavi ke garbh ke garbh se kee putr utpann hue. prabho! un putroan mean kichak hi sabase b da tha. raja kekay ki doosari rani bhi malavakanya hi thi. usake garbh se chitra nam vali kanya utpann huee, jo samasat kichakabandhuoan ki chhoti bahin thi.

usi ko sudeshna bhi kahate haian. vahi age chalakar maharaj virat ki pyari patarani huee. virat ki b di rani kosaladesh ki rajakumari suratha, jo shvet ki janani thi, usaki mrityu ho jane par kekay naresh ne apani kanya sudeshna ka vivah matsyaraj virat ke sath prasannatapoorvak kar diya. sudeshna ko maharani ke roop mean pakar raja virat ka driahkh door ho gaya. janamejay! kekayakumari rani sudeshna ne raja virat se apane kul ki vriddhi ke liye uttar aur uttara namak do santanoan ko utpann kiya. rajan! kichak apani mausi ki beti sati-sadhvi sudeshna ki premapoorvak paricharya karata hua virat ke yahaan sukhapoorvak rahane laga. usake sabhi parakrami bhaee kichak ke hi premi bhakt the; atah ve bhi virat ke hi bal aur kosh ko badhate hue prasannatapoorvak vahaan rahane lage. rajan! kaley namak daity hi, jo prayah is bhoomandal mean vikhyat the, kichakoan ke roop mean utpann hue the. kateyoan mean ban sabase b da tha. vahi sampoorn astr-shastroan se sampann, bhayankar parakrami aur mahabali kichak hua, jo dharm ki maryada to dane aur manushyoan ke bhay ko badhane vala tha.. us balonmatt kichak ki sahayata pakar, jaise indr danavoan par sahayata pate the, usi prakar raja virat ne bhi samasat shatruoan par vijay prapt ki. 1894 mekhal, trigart, dasharn, kasheruk, malav, yavan, pulind, kashi, kosal, aang, vang, kaliang, tangan, paratang, malad, nishadh, tundiker, koankan, karad, nishiddh, shiv, dushchhillik tatha any nana janapadoan ke svami anek shooravir naresh ranabhoomi mean kichak se parajit ho dasoan dishaoan mean bhag gaye. aise parakramasampann kichak ko, jo sangram mean das hajar hathiyo ka bal rachata tha, raja virat ne apana senapati bana liya. virat ke das bhaee aise the jo dasharathanandan shriram ke saman shaktishali samajhe jate the. ve bhi in prabalatar kichak bandhuoan ka anusaran karane lage. aise bal sampann kichak, jo raja virat ke sale lagate the, shaury mean apana sani nahian rakhate the. ve mahamana virat ke b de hitaishi the. janamejay! is prakar maianne tumase kichak ke parakram ki sari batean bata dian.

draupadi dvara shap n dene ka karan

ab yah sun lo ki draupadi ne us shap kyoan nahian diya ? krodh se tapasya nasht hoti hai, isiliye rrishi bhi sahasa kisi ko shap nahian dete haian. draupadi is bat ko achchhi tarah janati thi; isiliye usane use shap nahian diya. kshama dharm hai, kshama dan hai, kshama yajn hai, kshama yash hai, kshama saty hai, kshama shil hai, kshama kirti hai, kshama sabase utkrisht tattv hai, kshama puny hai, kshama tirth hai, kshama sab kuchh hai; aisa shruti kathan hai. yah lok kshamavano ka hi hai. paralok bhi kshamavanoan ka hi hai. draupadi yah sab kuchh janati thi, isaliye usane kshama ka hi ashray liya. bharatanandan! kshamashil evan dharmatma patiyoan ka mat jaranakar vishal netroan vali sati sadhvi draupadi ne samarth hote hue bhi kichak ko shap nahian diya. samast pandav bhi draupadi ki duravastha dekhakar duchai ho samay ki praticha karate hue krodhagni mean jalate rahe. mahabahu bhimasen to kichak ko tatkal mar dalane ke liye udyat the; parantu jaise vela (tat ki sima) mahasagar ke veg ko roke rakhati hai, usi prakar dharmaputr yudhishthir ne unhean rok diya. ve man mean krodh ko rokakar din-rat lanbi saansean khianchate rahate the. us din pakashala mean jakar ve rat mean b de kasht se soye.
