दमयन्ती का चेदिराज के यहाँ निवास

mahabharat vanaparv ke nalopakhyanaparv ke aantargat adhyay 65 mean jangali hathiyoan dvara vyapariyoan ke dal ka sarvanash tatha duahkhit damayanti ka chediraj ke bhavan mean sukhapoorvak nivas ke bare mean bataya gaya hai jisaka ullekh nimn prakar hai-

tapasviyoan dvara damayanti ko ashvasan diya jata hai tatha unaki vyapariyoan ke dal se bheant hoti hai vyapari gan kahate haian- ‘kalyani! sach batao, tum is van, parvat athava disha ki adhishthatri devi to nahian ho ? ham sab log tumhari sharan mean aye haian. ‘tum yakshi ho ya rakshasi koee shreshth devaangana ho ? isake pashchath damayanti apana parichay deti hai ki vah shooravir raja nal ki arya hai. isake bad ki katha is prakar hai.

brihadashv muni kahate haian- rajan! dalake sanchalan ki vah bat sunakar nirdosh evan sundar aangoan vali damayanti pati dev ke darshan ke liye utsuk ho vyapariyoan ke us dal ke sath hi yatra karane lagi. tadanantar bahut samay ke bad ek bhayankar vishal van mean pahuanchakar un vyapariyoan ne ek mahan sarovar dekha, jisaka nam tha, paghr-saugandhik. vah sab or se kalyanaprad jan p data tha. us ramaniy sarovar ke pas ghas eendhan ki adhikata thi, phool aur phal bhi vahaan prachur matra mean upalabdh hote the. us talab par bahut-se pakshi nivas karate the. sarovar jal svachchh aur svadu tha, vah dekhane mean b da hi manohar aur atyant shital tha. vyapariyoan ke vahan bahut thak gaye the. isaliye unhoanne vahian p dav dalane ka nishchay kiya. samooh adhipati se anumati lekar sab logoan ne us uttam van mean pravesh kiya aur vah mahan jan samuday sarovar ke pashchim tat par thahar gaya.

tatpashchath adhi rat ke samay jab kahian se bhi koee shabd sunayi nahian deta tha aur dal ke sabhi log thakakar so gaye the, us samay gajarajoan ke mad ki dhara se malin jalavali paha di nadi mean pani pine ke liye (jangali) hathiyoan ka ek jhuand a nikala. us jhuand ne vyapariyoan ke soye hue dal ko aur unake sath aye hue bahut se hathiyoan ko bhi dekha. tab van mean rahane vale un sabhi madonmatt gajoan ne un gramin hathiyoan ko dekhakar unhean mar dalane ki ichchha se un par vegaparvook akraman kiya. parvat ki choti se tootakar prithvi par girane vale b de-b de shikharoan ke saman un akramanakari jangali hathiyoan ka vegke liye atyant duahsah tha. gramin hathiyoan par akraman karane ki cheshta vale un vanavasi gajarajoan ke vany marg avaruddh ho gaye the. sarovar ke tat par vyapariyoan ka mahan samuday unaka marg rokakar so raha tha. un hathiyoan ne sahasoan pahuanchakar samooche dal ko kuchal diya.

kitane hi manushy dharati par p de p de chhatapata rahe the. us dal ke kitane hi purush hahakar karate hue bachav ki jagah khojate hue jangal ke paudhoan ke samooh mean bhag gaye. bahut-se manushy to niand ke mare andhe ho rahe the. hathiyoan ne kinhi ko daantoan se, kinhian ko sooandoan se aur kitanoan ko pairoan se ghayal kar diya. unake bahut-se ooant aur gho de mare gaye aur us samuday mean bahut-se paidal bhog bhi the. ve sab log us samay bhay se charoan aur bhagate hue ek doosare se takarakar chot kha jate the. ghor artanad karate hue sabhi log dharati par girane lage. kuchh log b de veg se vrikshoan par chadhate hue niche ki visham bhoomiyoan par gir p date the.

rajan! is prakar daivavash bahutere jangali hathiyoan ne akraman karake (prayah) un sampoorn samriddhishali vyapariyoan ke samuday ko nasht kar diya. us samay vahaan tinoan lokoan ko bhay mean dalane vala mahan artanad evan chitkar ho raha tha. koee kahata- ‘are! idhar b di jor ki ag prajvalit ho uthi hai. yah bhari sankat a gaya (ab) dau do aur bachao. ’ doosara kahata- ‘are! ye dher-ke-dher ratn bikhare p de haian, inhean samhalakar rakh‍khoan. idhar udhar bhagate kyoan ho?

tisara kahata tha-‘bhaee! is dhan par sabaka saman adhikar hai, meri yah bat jhoothi nahian hai’. koee kahata- ‘ai kayaro! maian phir tumase bat karooanga, abhi apani raksha ki chianta karo. is tarah ki bate karate hue sab log bhay se bhag rahe the. is prakar jab vahaan bhayanak nar-sanhar ho raha tha, usi samay damayanti bhi jag uthi. usaka hriday bhay se santrast ho utha. vahaan usane vah mahasanhar apani aankhoan dekha, jo sab logoan ke liye bhayankar tha. usane aisi durghatana pahale kabhi nahian dekhi thi. vah sab dekhakar vah kamalanayani bala bhay se vyakul ho uthi. usako kahian se koee santvana nahian mil rahi thi. vah is prakar stabdh ho rahi thi, mano dharati se sat gayi ho. tadanantar vah kisi prakar uthakar kh di huee. dal ke jo log sankat se mukt ho aghat se bache hue the, ve sab ekatr ho kahane lage ki ‘yah hamare kis karm ka phal hai ? nishchay hi hamane mahayashasvi madibhadr ka poojan nahian kiya hai. isi prakar hamane shrimahan yaksharaj kuber ki bhi pooja nahian ki hai athava vighnakarta vinayakoan ki bhi pahale pooja nahian kar li thi. athava hamane pahale jo-jo shagun dekhe the, usaka viparit phal hai. yadi hamare grah viparit n hote to aur kis hetu se yah sankat hamare oopar kaise a sakata hai ?

doosare log jo apane kutumbijanoan aur dhan ke vinash se din ho rahe the, ve is prakar kahane lage- ‘aj hamare vishal jan samooh ke sath vah jo unmatt jaisi dikhayi dene vali nari a gayi thi, vah vikaral akar vali rakshasi thi to bhi alaukik sundar roop dharan karake hamare dal mean ghus gayi thi. usi ne pahale se hi yah atyant bhayankar maya phaila rakkhi thi. ‘nishchay hi vah rakshasi, yakshi athava bhayankar pishachi thi- isamean vichar karane ki koee avashyakata nahian ki vah sara pap poorn krity usi ka kiya hua hai. usane hamean anek prakar ka duahkh diya aur prayah sare dal ka vinash kar diya. vah papini samooche sarth ke liye avashy hi kritya banakar ayi thi. yadi ham use dekh leange to dheloan se, dhool aur tilakoan se, lakadi़ya aur mukkoan se bhi avashy mar daleange.

unaka vah atyant bhayankar vachan sunakar damayanti lajja se g d gayi bhay se vyakul ho uthi. unake papapoorn sankalp ke sanghatit hone ki ashanka karake vah usi or bhag gayi, jahaan ghana jangal tha. vahaan jakar apani is paristhitiyoan par vichar karake vah vilap karane lagi- ‘aho! mujh par vidhata ka atyant bhayanak aur mahan kop hai, jisase mujhe kahian bhi kushal-kshem ki prapti nahian hoti. n jane, yah hamare kis karm ka phal hai ? ‘maianne man, vani aur kriya dvara kabhi kisi ka tho da-sa bhi amangal kiya ho, isaki yad nahian ati, phir yah mere kis karm ka phal mil raha hai ? ‘nishchay hi yah mere doosare janmoan ke kiye hue pap ka mahan phal prapt hua hai, jisase maian is anant kasht mean p d gayi hooan. ‘mere svami ke rajy ka apaharan hua, unhean atmiy jan se hi parajit hona p da, mera apane pati dev se viyog hua aur apani santanoan ke darshan se bhi vanchit ho gayi hooan.‘itana hi nahian, asankhy sarp adi jantuoan se bhare hue is van mean mujhe anath ki-si dasha mean rahana p data haian,. tadanantar doosara din prarambh hone par marane se bache hue log us sthan se nikalakar us vikat sanhar ke liye shok karane lage. rajan koee bhaee ke liye dukhi tha, koee pita ke liye ; kisi ko putr ka shok tha aur kisi ko mitr ka. vidarbharajakumari damayanti bhi isake liye shok karane lagi ki ‘maianne kaun sa pap kiya hai, jisase in nirjan van mean mujhe jo yah samudr ke saman janasamuday prapt ho gaya tha, vah bhi mere hi dubhagy ke jhuand dvara mara gaya. nishchay hi mujhe abhi dirghakal tak duahkh-hi-duahkh bhogana hai.

‘jinaki mrityu samay nahian aya hai, vah ichchha hote hue bhi mar nahian sakata. vriddh purushoan ka yah jo upadesh maianne sun rakkha hai, yah thik hi jan p data hai, tabhi to aj maian duahkhit hone par bhi hathiyoan ke jhuand se kuchal kar mar n saki. manushyoan ko is jagat mean koee bhi sukh ya duahkh aisa nahian milata, jo vidhata ka diya hua n ho. maianne bachapan mean bhi man, vani athava kriyaoan aisa pap nahian kiya hai, jisase mujhe yah duahkh prapt hota. ‘maian samajhati hooan, svayanvar ke liye jo lokapal devagan padhare the, nal ke karan maianne usaka tiraskar kar diya tha. avashy unhian devataoan ke prabhav se aj mujhe viyog ka kasht prapt hua hai.’ is prakar duahkh se atur huee sundari pativrata damayanti ne us samay anek prakar se vilap evan pralap kiye.

nripashreshth! tadanantar marane se bache hue vedoan ke parangat vidvan brahmanoan ke sath yatra karati huee sharatkal ke chandrama ki kala ke saman vah sundari tho de hi samay mean sandhya hote hote satyadarshi chediraj subahu hi rajadhani mean ja pahuanchi. sharir mean adhi sa di ko lapete hue hi usane us uttam nagar mean pravesh kiya. vah vihril, din aur durbal ho rahi thi. usake sir ke bal khule hue the. usane snan nahian kiya tha. puravasiyoan ne use unmatta ki bhaanti jate dekha. chedinaresh ki rajadhani mean use pravesh karate dekh us samay bahut-se gramin balak kautoohalavash usake sath ho liye the. unase ghiri huee damayanti rajamahal ke samip gayi. us samay rajamata ne use mahal par se dekha. vah janasadharan se ghiri huee thi. rajamata ne dhay se kaha ‘jao, is yuvati ko mere pas le ao.

‘ise log tang kar rahe haian. vah duahkhini yuvati koee ashram chahati hai. mujhe isaka roop aisa dikhayi deta hai, jo mere ghar ko prakashit kar lega. ‘isaka vesh to unmatt ke saman hai, parantu yah vishal netroan vali yuvati kalyanamayi lakshmi ke saman jan p dati haian.’ dhay un sab logoan ko hatakar use uttam rajamahal ki attalika par chadha le ayi. rajan! tatpashchath vismit hokar rajamata ne damayanti se poochha- ‘aho! tum is prakar duahkh se dabi hone par bhi itana sundar roop kaise dharan karati ho ?

‘meghamala ke prakashit hone vali bijali ki bhaanti tum is duahkh mean bhi kaisi tejasvini dikhayi deti ho. mujhase batao, tum kaun ho? kisaki stri ho,? yadyapi tumhare sharir par koee abhooshan nahian hai to bhi tumhara yah roop manav-jagat ka nahian jan p data. devata ki-si divy kaanti dharan karane vali vatse! tum asahay-avastha mean ho kar bhi logoan se darati kyoan nahian ho ?’ usaki vah bat sunakar bhimakumari ne kaha- ‘mataji! ap mujhe manav-kanya hi samajhiye. maian apane pati ke charanoan mean anurag rakhane vali ek nari hooan. meri antahpur mean kam karane vali sairandhri jati hai. maian sevika hooan aur jahaan ichchha hoti hai, vahian rahati hooan. ‘maian akeli hooan phal-mool khakar jivan nirvah karati hooan aur jahaan saanjh hoti hai, vahian tik jati hooan.

mere svami mean asankhy gun haian, unaka mere prati sada atyant anurag hai. ‘jaise chhaya rah chalane vale pathik ke pichhe-pichhe chalati hai, usi prakar maian bhi apane vir patidev mean bhakti bhav rakhakar sada unhian ka anusaran karati hooan. rdubhagyavash ek din mere patidev jooa khelane mean atyant asakt ho gaye. ‘aur usi mean apana sab kuchh har kar ve akele hi van ki or chale diye. ek vastr dharan kiye unmatt aur vihril hue apane vir svami ko santvana deti huee maian bhi unake sath van mean chali gayi. ek din ki bat haian, mere vir svami kisi karanavash van mean gaye. ‘uttam samay ve bhookh se pi dit aur anamane ho rahe the. atah unhoanne apane us ek vastr ko bhi kahian van mean chho d diya. mere sharir par bhi ek hi vastr tha. ve nagn, unmatt-jaise aur achet ho rahe the. usi dasha mean sada unaka anusaran karati huee anek ratriyoan tak kabhi so n saki! tadanantar bahut samay ke pashchath ek din jab maian so gayi thi, unhoanne meri adhi sa di pha d li aur mujh niraparadhini patni ko vahian chho dakar ve kahian chal diye. maian din-rat viyogagni mean jalati huee nirantar unhian patidev ko dhooandhati phirati hooan. ‘mere priyatam ki kaanti kamal ke bhitari bhag ke saman hai. ve devataoan ke saman tejasvi, mere pranoan ke svami aur shaktishali haian. bahut khojane par bhi maian apane priy ko n to dekh saki hooan aur n unaka pata hi pa rahian hooan’.

bhimakumari damayanti ke netroan mean aansoo bhare hue the evan vah artasvar se bahut vilap kar rahi thi. rajamata svayan bhi unake duahkh se dukhi ho boli-‘kalyani! tum mere pas raho. tum par mera bahut prem hai. bhadre! mere sevak tumhare pati ki khoj kareange. ‘athava yah bhi sambhav hai, ve idhar-udhar bhatakate hue svayan hi idhar a nikalean. bhadre tum yahian rahakar apane pati ko prapt kar logi’. rajamata ki yah bat sunakar damayanti ne kaha- ‘viramatah maian ek niyam ke sath apake yahaan rah sakati hooan. ‘maian kisi ka jootha nahian khaooangi, kisi ke pair nahian dhoooangi aur kisi bhi doosare purush se kisi tarah bhi vartalap nahian karooangi. ‘yadi koee purush mujhe prapt karana chahe to vah apake dvara dandaniy ho aur bar-bar aise aparadh karane vale moodh ko ap pranadand bhi dean, yahi mera nishchit vrat hai.

‘maian apane pati ki khoj ke liye keval brahmanoan se mil sakati hooan. yadi yahaan aisi vyavastha ho sake to nishchay hi apake nikat nivas karooangi. isamean sanshay nahian haian.

‘yadi isake viparit koee bat ho to kahian to rahane ka mere man mean sankalp nahian ho sakata. ’yah sunakar rajamata prasannachitt hokar usase boli- ‘beti! maian yah sab karooangi. saubhagy ki bat hai ki tumhara vrat aisa uttam hai.’ raja yudhishthir! damayanti se aisa kahakar rajamata apani putri sunanda se boli- ‘sunande! is sairandhri ko tum devisvaroopa samajho.

‘yah avastha mean tumhare saman hai, atah tumhari sakhi hokar rahe. tum isake sath sada prasannachit evan anandamagn raho’. tab sakhiyoan se ghiri huee sunanda atyant hashollas mean bharakar damayanti ko sath le apane bhavan mean ayi.

sunanda damayanti ke ichchhanusar sab prakar ki vyavastha karake use b de adar-satkar ke sath rakhane lagi. isase damayanti ko b di prasannata huee aur vah vahaan udveg rahit ho rahane lagi.
