shri bhishm pitamah -svami akhandanand sarasvati

bhishm ke dvara shrikrishn ka mahatmy kathan, bhishm ki pratijna-raksha ke liye pun: bhagavanh ka pratijna bhang, bhishm ka ran mean patan usi samay bhagavanh shrikrishn ne muskurate hue pravesh kiya. unhoanne kaha-'aj gho doan ki dekhabhal karane mean vishesh vilamb ho gaya, kahiye ap log chupachap kyoan baithe haian?' yudhishthir ne hath jo dakar kaha-'prabho! apase kya chhipa hai? kya ap nahian janate ki bhishm pitamah ne ham paanchoan bhaiyoan ko marane ke liye paanch ban nikal rakhe haian. ham log isi chinta mean the ki ab hamari raksha kaise hogi? hamara jivan apake hath mean hai, apaki ichchha ho so kijiye. bachaiye n bachaiye, ham kuchh nahian janate.' bhagavanh hansane lage. unhoanne kaha-'aj ka bachana n bachana hamare hath mean nahian hai. aj draupadi chahe to tum log bach sakate ho.' draupadi bol uthian-'prabho! ap kya kahate haian? kya maian apane pranapriy svamiyoan ko bachane ki cheshta n karooangi? yadi mere balidan se bhi in logoan ki raksha hoti ho to ap shighr batavean.' bhagavanh ne kaha-'balidan karane ki koee bat nahian hai, tumhean mere sath bhishm pitamah ke pas chalana p dega.' draupadi taiyar ho gayi, age-age draupadi aur pichhe-pichhe bhagavanh shrikrishn chalane lage. is prakar unhoanne pandavoan ki sena ke aandar ka marg samapt kiya. kauravoan ki sena mean pravesh karane ke pahale hi bhagavanh ne kaha ki draupadi! tumhara aur sab sharir to chadar se dhaka hai, parantu tumhari jootiyaan saph dikh rahi haian. unake panjabi hone ke karan sab log samajh jayeange ki panjab ki bani huee jootiyoan ko pahanakar draupadi hi ja rahi hai. tab mujh par logoan ko sandeh ho jayega, isaliye tum apani jootiyaan mujhe de do, isase tumhean log nahian pahachan sakeange aur mujhe bhi jooti liye dekhakar samany sevak hi samajheange. draupadi ne kuchh sankoch ke sath, parantu prem mean mugdh hokar apani jootiyaan bhagavanh ko de dian. bhagavanh ki bhaktavatsalata smaran karake anand-vibhor draupadi age-age chal rahi thi aur apane pitambar mean draupadi ki jooti lapetakar use kaankh mean dabaye hue pichhe-pichhe shrikrishn chal rahe the. kya hai jagath mean koee itana dinavatsal svami?
