parikshith! yadukumar aniruddhaji ke sahavas se usha ka kuaanrapan nasht ho chuka tha. usake sharir par aise chihn prakat ho gaye, jo spasht is bat ki soochana de rahe the aur jinhean kisi prakar chhipaya nahian ja sakata tha. usha bahut prasann bhi rahane lagi. paharedaroan ne samajh liya ki isaka kisi-n-kisi purush se sambandh avashy ho gaya hai. unhoanne jakar banasur se nivedan kiya- ‘rajanh! ham log apaki avivahita rajakumari ka jaisa rang-dhang dekh rahe haian, vah apake kulapar batta lagane vala hai. prabho! isamean sandeh nahian ki ham log bina kram toote, rat-din mahal ka pahara dete rahate haian. apaki kanya ko bahar ke manushy dekh bhi sakate. phir bhi vah kalankit kaise ho gayi ? isaka karan hamari samajh mean nahian a raha hai’. parikshith! paharedaroan se yah samachar janakar ki kanya ka charitr dooshit ho gaya hai, banasur ke hriday mean b di pi da huee. vah jhatapat usha ke mahal mean ja dhamaka aur dekha ki aniruddhaji vahaan baithe hue haian. priy parikshith! aniruddhaji svayan kamavatar praddumnaji ke putr the. tribhuvan mean unake jaisa sundar aur koee n tha. saanvala-salona sharir aur us par pitambar phaharata hua, kamaladal ke saman b di-b di komal aankhean, lambi-lambi bhujaean, kapoloan par ghuangharali alakean aur kundaloan ki jhilamilati huee jyoti, hothoan par mand-mand muskan aur premabhari chitavan se mukh ki shobha anoothi ho rahi thi. aniruddhaji us samay apani sab or se saj-dhajakar baithi huee priyatama usha ke sath pase khel rahe the. unake gale mean basanti bela ke bahut sundar pushpoan ka har sushobhit ho raha tha aur us har mean usha ke aang ka sampark hone se usake vakshahsthal ki keshar lagi huee thi. unhean usha ke samane hi baitha dekhakar banasur vismit—chakit ho gaya. jab aniruddhaji ne dekha ki banasur bahut-se akramanakari shastrastr se susajjit vir sainikoan ke sath mahaloan mean ghus aya hai, tab ve unhean dharashayi kar dene ke liye lohe ka ek bhayankar parigh lekar dat gaye, mano svayan kaladand lekar mrityu (yam) kh da ho. banasur ke sath aye hue sainik unako pak dane ke liye jyoan-jyoan unaki or jhapatate, tyoan-tyoan ve unhean mar-marakar girate jate—thik vaise hi, jaise sooaroan ke dal ka nayak kuttoan ko mar dale! aniruddhaji ki chot se un sainikoan ke sir, bhuja, jangha adi aang toot-phoot gaye aur ve mahaloan se nikal bhage. jab bali banasur ne dekha ki yah to meri sari sena ka sanhar kar raha hai, tab vah krodh se tilamila utha aur usane nagapash se unhean baandh liya. usha ne jab suna ki usake priyatam ko baandh liya gaya hai, tab vah atyant shok aur vishad se vihval ho gayi; usake netroan se aansoo ki dhara bahane lagi, vah rone lagi. |
