yudhishthir ne poochha- shrikrishn! yah jarasandh kaun hai ? usaka bal aur parakram kaisa hai ? jo prajvalit agni ke saman ap ka sparsh karake bhi patang ke saman jalakar bhasm nahian ho gaya ? shrikrishn ne kaha- rajanh! jarasandh ka bal aur parakram kaisa hai tatha anek bar hamara apriy karane par bhi ham logoan ne kyoan usaki upeksha kar di, yah sab bata raha hooan , suniye.

brihadrath raja ka vishayaroopi varnan

magadhadesh mean brihadrath nam se prasiddh ek balavanh raja rajy karate the. ve tin akshauhini senaoan ke svami aur yuddh mean b de abhiman ke sath l dane vale the. raja brihadrath b de hi roopavanh, balavanh, dhanavanh, aur anupam parakrami the. unaka sharir doosare indr ki bhaanti sada yajn ki diksha ke chihnoan se hi sushobhit hota rahata tha. ve tej mean soory, kshama mean prithvi, krodh mean yamaraj aur dhan sampatti mean kuber ke saman the. bharat shreshth! jaise soory ki kiranoan se yah sari prithvi achchhadit ho jati hai, usi prakar un ke uttam kulochit sadgunoan se samast bhoomandal vyapt ho raha tha- sarvatr unake gunoan ki charcha evan prashansa hoti rahati thi.-

raja ka ju dav kanya se vivah

bharat kulabhooshan! mahaparakrami raja brihadrath ne kashiraj ki do ju davian kanyaoan ke sath, jo apani roop sampatti se apoorv shobha pa rahian thian, vivah kiya aur un narashreshth ne ekant mean apani donoan patniyoan ke samip yah pratijna ki ki maian tum donoan ke sath kabhi vishay vyavahar nahian karooanga (arthath donoan ke prati saman roop se mera prem bhav bana rahega). jaise do hathiniyoan ke sath gajaraj sushobhit hota hai, usi prakar ve maharaj brihadrath apane man ke anuroop donoan priy patniyoan ke sath shobha pane lage. jab ve donoan patniyoan ke bich mean virajaman hote, us samay aisa jan p data , mano ganga aur yamuna ke bich mean moortimanh samudr sushobhit ho raha ho.

raja ka nisantan vishay mean muni ko batana

vishayoan mean doobe raja ki sari javani bit gayi, parantu unhean koee vansh chalane vala putr nahian prapt hua. un shreshth naresh ne bahut-se maangalik krity, hom aur putreshti yajn karaye, to bhi unhean vansh ki vriddhi karane vale putr ki prapti nahian huee. ek din unhoanne suna ki gautam gautriy mahatma kakshivanh ke putr param udar chandakaushik muni tapasya se uparat hokar akasmath idhar a gaye haian aur ek vriksh ke niche baithe haian. yah samachar pakar raja brihadrath apani donoan patniyoan (evan puravasiyoan) ke sath unake pas gaye tatha sab prakar ke ratnoan (munijanochit utkrisht vastrioan) ki bheant dekar unhean santusht kiya. maharshi ne bhi yathochit bartav dvara brihadrath ko prasann kiya. un mahatma ki ajna pakar raja unake nikat baithe. us samay brahmarshi chandakaushik ne un se poochha - ‘rajanh! apani donoan patniyoan aur puravasiyoan ke sath yahaan tumhara agaman kis uddeshy se hua hai ?’ tab raja ne muni se kaha- ‘bhagavanh! mere koee putr nahian hai. muni shreshth! log kahate haian ki putrahin manushy ka janm vyarth hai. ‘is budhape mean putr hin rahakar mujhe rajy se kya prayojan hai ? isaliye ab maian donoan patniyoan ke sath tapovan rahakar tapasya karooanga. ‘mune! santanahin manushy ko n to is lok mean kirti prapt hoti hai aur n paralok mean akshay svarg hi prapt hoti hai. ’ raja ke aisa kahane par maharshi ko daya a gayi. tab dhairy se sampann aur satyavadi munivar chandakaushik ne raja brihadrath se kaha- ‘uttam vrat ka palan karane vale rajendr! maian tum par santusht hooan. tum ichchhanusar var maango. ’ yah sunakar raja brihadrath apani donoan raniyoan ke sath muni ke charanoan mean p d gaye aur putr darshan se nirash hone ke karan netroan se aansoo bahate hue gadagad vani mean bole. raja ne kaha- bhagavanh! maian to ab rajy chho dakar tapovan ki or chal p da hooan. mujh abhage aur santanahin ko var athava rajy ki kya avashyakata ?-

muni ka raja se prasann ho abhimantrit kar phal dena

shrikrishn kahate haian- raja ka yah katar vachan sunakar muni ki indriyaan kshubdh ho gayian (unaka hriday pighal gaya). tab ve dhyanasth ho gaye aur usi amravriksh ki chhaya mean baithe rahe. usi samay vahaan baithe hue muni ki god mean ek am ka phal gira. vah n hava ke chalane se gira tha, n kisi tote ne hi us phal mean apani choanch g dayi thi. muni shreshth chandakaushik ne us anupam phal ko hath mean le liya aur use man-hi-man abhimantrit karake putr ki prapti karane ke liye raja ko de diya. tatpashchath un mahajnani mahamuni ne raja se kaha- ‘rajanh! tumhara manorath poorn ho gaya. nareshvar! ab tum apani rajadhani ko laut jao. ‘maharaj! yah phal tumhean putr prapti karayega, ab tum van mean jakar tapasya n karo; dharmapoorvak praja ka palan karo. yahi rajaoan ka dharm hai. ‘nana prakar ke yajnoan dvara bhagavanh ka yajan karo aur devaraj indr ko somaras se tript karo. phir putr ko rajy sianhasan par bithakar vanaprasthashram mean a jana. ‘bhoopal! maian tumhare putr ke liye ath var deta hooan- vah brahman bhakt hoga, yuddh mean ajey hoga, usaki yuddh vishayak ruchi kabhi kam n hogi,. ‘vah atithiyoan ka premi hoga, din-dukhiyoan par usaki sada kripa-drishti bani rahegi, us ka bal mahanh hoga, lok mean usaki akshay kirti ka vistar hoga aur prajajanoan par usaka sada sneh bana rahega. ’ is prakar chandakaushik muni ne usake liye ye ath var diye.. muni ka yah vachan sunakar un param buddhimanh raja brihadrath ne unake donoan charanoan mean mastak rakhakar pranam kiya aur apane ghar ko laut gaye.

raja ki patniyoan ke garbh se do tuk de paida hona

bharat shreshth! un uttam naresh ne uchit kal ka vichar karake donoan patniyoan ke liye vah ek phal de diya. un donoan shubhasvaroopa raniyoan ne us am ke do tuk de karake ek-ek tuk da kha liya. hone vali bat hokar hi rahati hai, isaliye tatha muni ki satyavadita ke prabhav se vah phal khane ke karan donoan raniyoan ke garbh rah gaye. unhean garbhavati huee dekhakar raja ko b di prasannata huee. mahaprajn yudhishthir! prasavakal poorn hone par un donoan raniyoan ne yathasamay apane garbh se sharir ka ek-ek tuk da paida kiya. pratyek tuk de mean ek aankh, ek hath, ek pair, adh pet, adha muanh aur kati ke niche ka adha bhag tha. ek sharir ke un tuk doan ko dekhakar ve donoan bhay ke mare thar-thar kaanpane lagian. unaka hriday udvign ho utha; abala hi to thian. un donoan bahinoan ne atyant dukhi hokar paraspar salah karake un donoan tuk doan ko, jin mean jiv tatha pran vidyaman the, tyag diya. un donoan ki dhayean garbh ke un tuk doan ko kap de se dhakakar antahpur ke daravaraje se bahar nikalian aur chaurahe par pheank kar chalian gayian.

jara rakshasi ka tuk doan ko ju dana

purush sianh! chaurahe par pheanke hue un tuk doan ko rakt aur maans khane vale jara nam ki ek rakshasi ne utha liya. vidhata ke vidhan se prerit hokar us rakshasi ne un donoan tuk doan ko suvidhapoorvak le jane yogy banane ki ichchha se us samay jo d diya. narashreshth! un tuk doan ka paraspar sanyog hote hi ek shariradhari vir kumar ban gaya. rajanh! yah dekhakar rakshasi ke netr ashchary se khil uthe. use vah shishu vajr ke saratattv ka bana jan p da. rakshasi use uthakar le jane mean asamarth ho gayi. us balak ne apane lal hatheli vale hathoan ki mutthi baandhakar muanh mean dal li aur atyant kruddh hokar jal se bhare megh ki bhaanti gambhir svar se rona shuroo kar diya. parantap naravyaghr! balak ke us rone -chillane ke shabd se ranivas ki sab striyaan ghabara uthian tatha raja ke sath sahasa bahar nikalian. doodh se bhare hue stanoan vali ve donoan abala raniyaan bhi, jo putr prapti ki asha chho d chukian thian, malin mukh ho sahasa bahar nikal ayian. un donoan raniyoan ko us prakar udas, raja ko santan pane ke liye utsuk tatha us balak ko atyant balavanh dekhakar rakshasi ne socha-

rakshasi ka raja ko unaka putr sauanpana

‘maian is raja ke rajy mean rahati hooan. yah putr ki ichchha rakhata hai; atah is dharmatma tatha mahatma naresh ke balak putr ki hatya karana mere liye uchit nahian hai’. aisa vichar kar us rakshasi ne manavi ka roop dharan kiya aur jaise meghamala soory ko dharan kare, usi prakar vah us balak ko god mean uthakar bhoopal se boli. rakshasi ne kaha - brihadrath! yah tumhara putr hai, jise maianne tumhean diya hai. tum ise grahan karo. brahmarshi ke varadan evan ashirvad se tumhari donoan patniyoan ke garbh se isaka janm hua hai. dhayoan ne ise ghar ke bahar lakar dal diya tha; kiantu maianne is ki raksha ki hai. shrikrishn kahate haian- bharat kulabhooshan! tab kashiraj ki un donoan shubhalakshna kanyaoan us balak ko turant god mean lekar use stanoan ke doodh se sianch diya. yah sab dekh-sunakar raja ke harsh ki sima n rahi. unhoanne suvarn ki-si kanti vali us rakshasi se, jo svaroop se rakshasi nahian jan p dati thi, is prakar poochha.
