krishn aur rukmini ka vivah

shrimadbhagavat mahapuran ke anusar- shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! is prakar kah-sunakar sab-ke-sab raja krodh se ag baboola ho uthe aur kavach pahanakar apane-apane vahanoan par savar ho gaye. apani-apani sena ke sat sab dhanush le-lekar bhagavan shrikrishn pichhe dau de. rajan! jab yaduvanshiyoan ke senapatiyoan ne dekha ki shatrudal ham par chadha a raha hai, tab unhoanne bhi apane-apane dhanush ka tankar kiya aur ghoomakar unake samane dat gaye. jarasandh ki sena ke log koee gho de par, koee hathi par, to koee rath par chadhe hue the. ve sabhi dhanurved ke b de marmajn the. ve yaduvanshiyoan par is prakar banoan ki varsha karane lage, mano dal-ke-dal badal paha do par moosaladhar pani barasa rahe hoan. paramasundari rukminiji ne dekha ki unake pati shrikrishn ki sena ban-varsha se dhak gayi hai. tab unhoanne lajja ke sath bhayabhit netroan se bhagavan shrikrishn ke mukh ki or dekha. bhagavan ne hansakar kaha- "sundari! daro mat! tumhari sena abhi tumhare shatruoan ki sena ko nasht kiye dalati hai." idhar gad aur sankarshan adi yaduvanshi vir apane shatruoan ka parakram aur adhik n sah sake. ve apane banoan se shatruoan ke hathi, gho de tatha rathoan ko chhinn-bhinn karane lage. unake banoan se rath, gho de aur hathiyoan par baithe vipakshi viroan ke kundal, kirit aur pag diyoan se sushobhit karoan doan sir, khadg, gada aur dhanushayukt hath, pahuanche, jaanghean aur pair kat-katakar prithvi par girane lage. isi prakar gho de, khachchar, hathi, ooant, gadhe aur manushyoan ke sir bhi kat-katakar ranabhoomi mean lotane lage. ant mean vijay ki sachchi akaanksha vale yaduvanshiyoan ne shatruoan ki sena tahas-nahas kar dali. jarasandh adi sabhi raja yuddh se pith dikhakar bhag kh de hue.

udhar shishupal apani bhavi patni ke chhin jane ke karan maranasann-sa ho raha tha. n to usake hriday mean utsah rah gaya tha aur n to sharir par kanti. usaka muanh sookh raha tha. usake pas jakar jarasandh kahane laga- "shishupalaji! ap to ek shreshth purush haian, yah udasi chho d dijiye. kyoanki rajan! koee bhi bat sarvada apane man ke anukool hi ho ya pratikool, is sambandh mean kuchh sthirata kisi bhi prani ke jivan mean nahian dekhi jati. jaise kathaputali bajigar ki ichchha ke anusar nachati hai, vaise hi yah jiv bhi bhagavadichchha ke adhin rahakar sukh aur duahkh ke sambandh mean yatha shakti cheshta karata rahata hai. dekhiye, shrikrishn ne mujhe teees-teees akshauhini senaoan ke sath satrah bar hara diya, maianne keval ek bar-atharahavian bar un par vijay prapt ki. phir bhi is bat ko lekar maian n to kabhi shok karata hooan aur n to kabhi harsh; kyoanki maian janata hooan ki prarabdh ke anoosar kal bhagavan hi is charachar jagat ko jhakajhorate rahate haian. isamean sandeh nahian ki ham log b de-b de vir senapatiyoan ke bhi nayak haian. phir bhi, is samay shrikrishn ke dvara surakshit yaduvanshiyoan ki tho di-si sena ne hamean hara diya hai. is bar hamare shatruoan ki hi jit huee, kyoanki kal unhian ke anukool tha. jab kal hamare dahine hoga, tab ham bhi unhean jit leange."

parikshit! jab mitroan ne is prakar samajhaya, tab chediraj shishupal apane anuyayiyoan ke sath apani rajadhani ko laut gaya aur usake mitr raja bhi, jo marane se bache the, apane-apane nagaroan ko chale gaye.

rukminiji ka b da bhaee rukmi bhagavan shrikrishn se bahut dvesh rakhata tha. usako yah bat bilakul sahan n huee ki meri bahin ko shrikrishn har le jayan aur rakshas riti se balapoorvak usake sath vivah karean. rukmi bali to tha hi, usane ek akshauhini sena sath le li aur shrikrishn ka pichha kiya. mahabahu rukmi krodh ke mare jal raha tha. usane kavach pahanakar aur dhanush dharan karake samast narapatiyoan ke samane yah pratijna ki- "maian ap logoan ke bich mean yah shapath karata hooan ki yadi maian yuddh mean shrikrishn ko n mar saka aur apani bahin rukmini ko n lauta saka to apani rajadhani kundinapur mean pravesh nahian karooanga." parikshit! yah kahakar vah rath par savar ho gaya aur sarathi se bola- "jahaan krishn ho vahaan shighr-se-shighr mera rath le chalo. aj mera usi ke sath yuddh hoga. aj maian apane tikhe banoan se us khoti buddhi vale gvale ke bal-viry ka ghamand choor-choor kar dooanga. dekho to usaka sahas, vah hamari bahin ko balapoorvak har le gaya hai." parikshit! rukmi ki buddhi big d gayi thi. vah bhagavan ke tej-prabhav ko bilakul nahian janata tha. isi se is prakar bahak-bahakakar batean karata hua vah ek hi rath se shrikrishn ke pas pahuanchakar lalakarane laga- "kh da rah! kh da rah." usane apane dhanush ko balapoorvak khianchakar bhagavan shrikrishn ko tin ban mare aur kaha- "ek kshan mere samane thahar! yaduvanshiyoan ke kulakalank! jaise kaua hom ki samagri churakar u d jay, vaise hi too meri bahin ko churakar kahaan bhaga ja raha hai? are mand! too b da mayavi aur kapat-yuddh mean kushal hai. aj maian tera sara garv kharv kiye dalata hooan. dekh! jab tak mere ban tujhe dharati par sula nahian dete, usake pahale hi is bachchi ko chho dakar bhag ja."

rukmi ki bat sunakar bhagavan shrikrishn musakarane lage. unhoanne usaka dhanush kat dala aur us par chhah ban chho de. sath hi bhagavan shrikrishn ne ath ban usake char ghoan do par aur do sarathi par chho de aur tin banoan se usake rath ki dhvaja ko kat dala. tab rukmi ne doosara dhanush uthaya aur bhagavan shrikrishn ko paanch ban mare. un banoan ke lagane par unhoanne usaka vah dhanush bhi kat dala. rukmi ne isake bad ek aur dhanush liya, parantu hath mean lete-hi-lete avinashi achyut ne use bhi kat dala. is prakar rukmi ne parigh, pattish, shool, dhal, talavar, shakti aur tomar-jitane astr-shastr uthaye, un sabhi ko bhagavan ne prahar karane ke pahale hi kat dala. ab rukmi krodhavash hath mean talavar lekar bhagavan shrikrishn ko mar dalane ki ichchha se rath se kood p da aur is prakar unaki or jhapata, jaise patianga ag ki or lapakata hai. jab bhagavan ne dekha ki rukmi mujh par chot karana chahata hai, tab unhoanne apane banoan se usaki dhal-talavar ko til-tilakar karake kat diya aur usako mar dalane ke liye hath mean tikhi talavar nikal li. jab rukminiji ne dekha ki ye to hamare bhaee ko ab mar hi dalana chahate haian, tab ve bhay vihval ho gayian aur apane priyatam pati bhagavan shrikrishn ke charanoan par girakar karun-svar mean bolian- "devataoan ke bhi aradhyadev! jagatpate! ap yogeshvar haian. apake svaroop aur ichchhaoan ko koee jan nahian sakata. ap param balavan haian, parantu kalyan svaroop bhi to haian. prabho! mere bhaiya ko marana apake yogy kam nahian hai."

shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! rukminiji ka ek-ek aang bhay ke mare thar-thar kaanp raha tha. shok ki prabalata se muanh sookh gaya tha, gala rooandh gaya tha. aturatavash sone ka har gale se gir p da tha aur isi avastha mean ve bhagavan ke charanakamal pak de hue thian. param dayalu bhagavan unhean bhayabhit dekhakar karuna se dravit ho gaye. unhoanne rukmi ko mar dalane ka vichar chho d diya. phir bhi rukmi unake anisht ki cheshta se vimukh n hua. tab bhagavan shrikrishn ne usako usi ke dupatte se baandh diya aur usaki dadhi-mooanchh tatha kesh kee jagah se mooan dakar use kuroop bana diya. tab tak yaduvanshi viroan ne shatru ki adbhut sena ko tahas-nahas kar dala-thik vaise hi, jaise hathi kamalavan ko rauand dalata hai. phir ve log udhar se lautakar shrikrishn ke pas aye to dekha ki rukmi dupatte se bandha hua adhamari avastha mean p da hua hai. use dekhakar sarvashaktiman bhagavan balaramaji ko b di daya ayi aur unhoanne usake bandhan kholakar use chho d diya tatha shrikrishn se kaha- "krishn! tumane yah achchha nahian kiya. yah nindit kary ham logoan ke yogy nahian hai. apane sambandhi ki dadhi-mooanchh mooan dakar use kuroop kar dena, yah to ek prakar ka vadh hi hai." isake bad balaramaji ne rukmini ko sambodhan karake kaha- "sadhvi! tumhare bhaee ka roop vikrit kar diya gaya hai, yah sochakar ham logoan ko bura n manana; kyoanki jiv ko sukh-duahkh dene vala koee doosara nahian hai. use to apane hi karm ka phal bhogana p data hai." ab shrikrishn se bole- "krishn! yadi apana saga-sambandhi vadh karane yogy aparadh kare to bhi apane sambandhiyoan ke dvara usaka mara jana uchit nahian hai. use chho d dena chahiye. vah to apane aparadh se hi mar chuka hai, mare hue ko phir kya marana?" phir rukminiji se bole- "sadhvi! brahmaji ne kshatriyoan ka dharm hi aisa bana diya hai ki saga bhaee bhi apane bhaee ko mar dalata hai. isaliye yah kshatradharm atyant ghor hai." isake bad shrikrishn se bole- "bhaee krishn! yah thik hai ki jo log dhan ke nashe mean aandhe ho rahe haian aur abhimani haian, ve rajy, prithvi, paisa, stri, man, tej athava kisi aur karan se apane bandhuoan ka hi tiraskar kar diya karate haian."

ab ve rukmini se bole- "sadhvi! tumhare bhaee-bandhu samast praniyoan ke prati durbhav rakhate haian. hamane unake mangal ke liye hi unake prati dandavidhan kiya hai. use tum ajnaniyoan ki bhaanti amangal man rahi ho, yah tumhari buddhi ki vishamata hai. devi! jo log bhagavan ki maya se mohit hokar deh ko hi atma man baithate haian, unhian ko aisa atm moh hota hai ki yah mitr hai, yah shatru hai aur yah udasin hai. samast dehadhariyoan ki atma ek hi hai aur kary-karan se, maya se usaka koee sambandh nahian hai. jal aur gh da adi upadhiyoan ke bhed se jaise soory, chandrama aur prakashayukt padarth aur akash bhinn-bhinn maloom p date haian; parantu haian ek hi, vaise hi moorkh log sharir ke bhed se atma ka bhed manate haian. yah sharir adi aur antavala hai. panchabhoot, panchapran, tanmatra aur trigun hi isaka svaroop hai. atma mean usake ajnan se hi isaki kalpana huee hai aur vah kalpit sharir hi, jo use ‘maian samajhata hai’, usako janm-mrityu ke chakkar mean le jata hai. sadhvi! netr aur roop donoan hi soory ke dvara prakashit hote haian. soory hi unaka karan hai. isaliye soory ke sath netr aur roop ka n to kabhi viyog hota hai aur n sanyog. isi prakar samast sansar ki satta atmasatta ke karan jan p dati hai, samast sansar ka prakashak atma hi hai. phir atma ke sath doosare asat padarthoan ka sanyog ya viyog ho hi kaise sakata hai? janm lena, rahana, badhana, badalana, ghatana aur marana ye sare vikar sharir ke hi hote haian, atma ke nahian. jaise krishnapaksh mean kalaoan ka hi kshay hota hai, chandrama ka nahian, parantu amavasya ke din vyavahar mean log chandrama ka hi kshay hua kahate-sunate haian; vaise hi janm-mrityu adi sare vikar sharir ke hi hote haian, parantu log use bhramavash apana-apane atma ka man lete haian. jaise soya hua purush kisi padarth ke n hone par bhi svapn mean bhokta, bhogy aur bhogaroop phaloan ka anubhav karata hai, usi prakar ajnani log jhooth-mooth sansar-chakr ka anubhav karate haian. isaliye sadhvi! ajnan ke karan hone vale is shok ko tyag do. yah shok aantahkaran ko murajha deta hai, mohit kar deta hai. isaliye ise chho dakar tum apane svaroop mean sthit ho jao."

shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! jab balaramaji ne is prakar samajhaya, tab paramasundari rukminiji ne apane man ka mail mitakar vivek-buddhi se usaka samadhan kiya. rukmi ki sena aur usake tej ka nash ho chuka tha. keval pran bach rahe the. usake chitt ki sari asha-abhilashaean vyarth ho chuki thian aur shatruoan ne apamanit karake use chho d diya tha. use apane viroop kiye jane ki kashtadayak smriti bhool nahian pati thi. atah usane apane rahane ke liye bhojakat nam ki ek bahut b di nagari basayi. usane pahale hi yah pratijna kar li thi ki "durbuddhi krishn ko mare bina aur apani chhoti bahin ko lautaye bina maian kundinapur mean pravesh nahian karooanga." isaliye krodh karake vah vahian rahane laga.

parikshit! bhagavan shrikrishn ne is prakar sab rajaoan ko jit liya aur vidarbh rajakumari rukminiji ko dvaraka mean lakar unaka vidhipoorvak panigrahan kiya. he rajan! us samay dvarakapuri ke ghar-ghar b da hi utsav manaya jane laga. kyoan n ho, vahaan ke sabhi logoan ka yadupati shrikrishn ke prati anany prem jo tha. vahaan ke sabhi nar-nari maniyoan ke chamakile kundal dharan kiye hue the. unhoanne anand se bharakar chitr-vichitr vastr pahane doolha aur dulahin ko anekoan bheant ki samagriyaan upahar dian. us samay dvaraka ki apoorv shobha ho rahi thi. kahian b di-b di patakaean bahut ooanche tak phahara rahi thian. chitr-vichitr malaean, vastr aur ratnoan ke toran bandhe hue the. dvar-dvar par doob, khil adi mangal ki vastuean sajayi huee thian. jal bhare kalash, aragaja aur dhoop ki sugandh tatha dipavali se b di hi vilakshan shobha ho rahi thi. mitr narapati amantrit kiye gaye the. unake matavale hathiyoan ke mad se dvaraka ki s dak aur galiyoan ka chhi dakav ho gaya tha. pratyek dvar par keloan ke khanbhe aur supari ke pe d rope hue bahut hi bhale maloom hote the. us utsav mean kutoohalavash idhar-udhar dau d-dhoop karate hue bandhu-vargoan mean kuru, srijchay, kaikay, vidarbh, yadu aur kunti adi vanshoan ke log paraspar anand mana rahe the. jahaan-tahaan rukminiharan ki gatha gayi jane lagi. use sunakar raja aur raj kanyaean atyant vismit ho gayian. maharaj! bhagavati lakshmiji ko rukmini ke roop mean sakshat lakshmipati bhagavan shrikrishn ke sath dekhakar dvarakavasi nar-nariyoan ko param anand hua.
