कच का शुक्राचार्य-देवयानी की सेवा में सलंग्न होना

mahabharat adi parv ke ‘sambhav parv’ ke aantargat adhyay 76 ke anusar kach ka shishy bhav se shukrachary aur devayani ki seva mean salangn hona aur anek kasht sahane ke pashchath mritasanjivani vidya prapt karane ka varnan is prakar hai-

janamejay ne poochha - tapodhan hamare poorvaj maharaj yayati ne, jo prajapati se dasavian pidhi mean uth‍pann hue the, shukrachary ki ath‍yanh‍t durlabh putri devayani ko patni rup mean kaise prapt kiya? maian is vrittanh‍t ko vish‍tar se sunana chahata hooan. ap mujhase sabhi vansh-pravartak rajaoan ko kramash: prithak-prithak varnan kijiye.

vaishamh‍payan ji ne kaha - janamejay raja yayati devaraj inh‍dr ke saman tejash‍vi the. poorvakal mean shukrachary aur vrishaparva ne yayati ka apani-apani kanh‍ya ke pati roop mean jis prakar varan kiya, vah prasang tumh‍hare poochhane par maian tumase kahooanga. sath hi yah bhi bataooanga ki nahushananh‍dan yayati tatha devayani ka sanyog kis prakar hua. ek samay charachar praniyoan sahit samash‍t triloki ke aishvary ke liye devataoan aur asuroan mean parash‍par b da bhari sangharsh hua. usamean vijay pane ki ichh‍chha se devataoan ne aangira muni ke putr brihash‍pati ka purohit ke pad par varan kiya aur daith‍yoan ne shukrachary ko purohit banaya. ve donoan brahman sada apas mean bahut lag-dat rakhate the. devataoan ne us yuddh mean aye hue jin danavoan ko mara tha, unh‍hean shukrachary ne apani sanjivini vidya ke bal se pun: jivit kar diya. at: ve pun: uthakar devataoan se yuddh karane lage. parantu asuroan ne yuddh ke muhane par jin devataoan ko mara tha, unh‍hean udar buddhi brihash‍pati jivit n kar sake. kh‍yoanki shaktishali shukrachary jis sanjivini vidya ko janate the, usaka jnan brihash‍pati ko nahian tha. isase devataoan ko b da vishad hua. isase devata shukrachary ke bhay se udvign ho us samay vrihash‍pati ke jh‍yeshth putr kach ke pas jakar bole. ‘brahman ham apake sevak haian. ap hamean apanaiye aur hamari uttam sahayata kijiye. amit tejash‍vi brahman shukrachary ke pas jo mritasanjivani vidya hai, use shighr sikhakar yahaan le aiye. isase ap ham devataoan ke sath yajn mean bhag prapt kar sakeange. raja vrishavarsha ke samip apako vipravar shukrachary ka darshan ho sakata hai.

‘vahaan rahakar ve danavoan ki raksha karate haian. jo danav nahian haian, unaki raksha nahian karate. apaki abhi nayi avash‍tha hai, at: ap shukrachary ki aradhana (karake unh‍hean prasann) karane mean samarth haian. ‘un mahath‍ma ki ph‍yari putri ka nam devayani hai, use apani sevaoan dvara ap hi prasann kar sakate haian. doosara koee isamean samarth nahian hai. ‘apane shil-sh‍vabhav, udarata, madhur vh‍yavahar, sadachar tatha indriy sanyam dvara devayani ko santusht kar lene par ap nishchay hi us vidya ko prapt kar leange.’ tab ‘bahut achh‍chha’ kahakar brihash‍pati putr kach devataoan se samh‍manit ho vahaan se vrishavarsha ke samip gaye. rajan devataoan ke bheje hue kach turant danav raj vrishavarsha ke nagar mean jakar shukrachary se mile aur is prakar bole-‘bhagavan maian aangira rrishi ka pautr tatha sakshat brihash‍pati ka putr hooan. mera nam kach hai. ap mujhe apane shishh‍y ke rup mean grahan karean. ‘brahman ap mere guru haian. maian apake samip rahakar ek hajar varshoan tak uttam vrahmachary ka palan karuanga. isake liye ap mujhe anumati dean.’

shukrachary ne kaha- kach tumh‍hara bhalibhaanti sh‍vagat hai; maian tamh‍hari prarthana sh‍vikar karata hooan. tum mere liye adar ke patr ho, at: maian tumh‍hara samh‍man evan sath‍kar karuanga. tumh‍hare adar sath‍kar se mere dvara brihash‍pati ka adar-sath‍kar hoga.

vaishamh‍payan ji kahate haian - tab kach ne ‘bahut achh‍chha’ kahakar maha kantiman kavi putr shukrachary ke adesh ke anusar sh‍vayan brahmachary vrat grahan kiya. janamejay niyat samay tak ke liye vrat ki diksha lene vale kach ko shukrachary ne bhali-bhaanti apana liya. kach achary shukr tatha unaki putri devayani donoan ki nith‍y aradhana karane lage. ve navayuvak the aur javani mean priy lagane vale kary-gayan aur nrith‍y karake tatha bhaanti-bhaanti ke baje vajakar devayani ko santusht rakhate the. bharat achary kanh‍ya devayani bhi yuvavash‍tha mean padarpan kar chuki thi. kach usake liye phool aur phal le ate tatha usaki ajna ke anusar kary karate the. is prakar usaki seva mean sanlagh‍n rahakar ve sada use prasann rakhate the. devayani bhi niyam poorvak brahmachary dharan karane vale kach ke hi samip rahakar gati aur amod-pramod karati huee ekanh‍t mean unaki seva karati thi. is prakar vahian rahakar brahmachary vrat ka palan karate hue kach ke paanch sau varsh vh‍yatit ho gaye. tab danavoan ko yah bat maloom huee. tadananh‍tar kach ko van ke ekanh‍t pradesh mean akele gauaian charate dekh brihash‍pati ke dvesh se aur sanjivini vidya ki raksha ke liye krodh mean bhare hue danavoan ne kach ko mar dala. unh‍hoanne marane ke bad unake sharir ke tuk de-tuk de kar kuttoan aur siyaroan ko baant diya. un din gauaian bina rakshak ke hi apane sh‍than par lautian. janamejay jab devayani ne dekha, gauaian to van se laut ayian par unake sath kach nahian hai, tab usane us samay apane pita se is prakar kaha.

kach ka mrit sanjivani vidya prapt karana

devayani boli - prabho apane agnihotr kar liya aur sooryadev bhi ash‍tachal ko chale gaye. gauaian bhi aj bina rakshak ke hi laut ayi haian. tat to bhi kach nahian dikhaee dete haian. pitaji avashh‍y ki kach ya to mare gaye haian ya mar gaye haian. maian apase sach kahati hooan, unake bina jivit nahian rah sakooangi.

shukrachary ne kaha - (beti chinh‍ta n karo.) maian abhi ‘ao’ is prakar bulakar mare hue kach ko jivit kiye deta hooan. aisa kahakar unh‍hoanne sanjivini vidya ka prayog kiya aur kach ko pukara. phi‍r to guru ke pukarane par kach vidya ke prabhav se hrisht-pushtaho kuttoan ke sharir pha d-pha dakar nikal aye aur vahaan prakat ho gaye. unh‍hean dekhate hi

devayani ne poochha - ‘aj apane lautane mean bilamh‍v kh‍yoan kiya?’ is prakar poochhane par kach ne shukrachary ki kanh‍ya se kaha-‘bhamini maian samidha, kush adi aur kashth ka bhar lekar a raha tha. rash‍te mean thakavat aur bharat se pi dit ho ek bat vriksh ke niche thahar gaya. sath hi sari gauaian bhi usi vriksh ki chhaya mean akar vishram karane lagian. ‘vahaan mujhe dekhakar asuroan ne poochha- ‘tum kaun ho?’ maianne kaha- mera nam kach hai, maian brihash‍pati ka putr hooan. ‘mere itana kahate hi danavoan ne mujhe mar dala aur mere sharir ko choorn karake kutte-siyaroan ko baant diya. phi‍r ve sukh poorvak apane ghar chale gaye. ‘bhadre phi‍r mahath‍ma bhargav ne jab vidya ka prayog karake mujhe bulaya hai, tab kisi prakar se poorn jivan labh karake yahaan tumh‍hare pas a saka hooan’. is prakar brahman kanh‍ya ke poochhane par kach ne usase apane mare jane ki bat batayi. tadananh‍tar pun: devayani ne ek din akash‍mat kach ko phool lane ke liye kaha. vipravar kach isake liye van mean gaye. vahaan danavoan ne unh‍hean dekh liya aur phir unh‍hean pisakar samudr ke jal mean ghol diya. jab usake vishay mean vilamh‍b hua, tab achary kanh‍ya ne pitase pun: yah bat batayi. vipravar shukrachary ne kach ka pun: sanjivini vidya dvara avahan kiya. isase brihash‍pati putr kach pun: vahaan a pahuanche aur unake sath asuroan ne jo vartav kiya tha, vah bataya. tath‍pashchath asuroan ne tisari bar kach ko marakar ag mean jalaya aur unaki jali huee lash ka choorn banakar madira mean mila diya tatha use brahman shukrachary ko hi pila diya. ab devayani pun: apane pita se yah bat boli- ‘pitaji kach mere kahane par prath‍yek kary poorn kar diya karate haian. aj maianne unh‍hean phool lane ke liye bheja tha, parantu abhi tak ve dikhaee nahian diye. ‘tat jan p data hai ve mar diye gaye ya mar gaye. maian apase sach kahati hooan, maian unake bina jivit nahian rah sakati hooan’.

shukrachary ne kaha - beti brihash‍pati ke putr kach mar gaye. maianne vidya se unh‍hean kee bar jilaya, to bhi ve is prakar mar diye jate haian, ab maian kh‍ya karooan. devayani tum is prakar shok n karo, roo mat. tum-jaisi shaktishalini stri kisi marane vale ke liye shok nahian karati. tumh‍hean to ved, brahman, inh‍dr sahit sab devata, vasugan,ashvinikumar, daith‍y tatha samh‍poorn jagath ke prani mere prabhav se tinoan sandhh‍yaoan ke samay mash‍tak jhukakar pranam karate haian. ab us brahman ko jilana asamh‍bhav hai. yadi jivit ho jay, to phir daith‍yoan dvara mar dala jayega (at: use jilane se koee labh nahian hai).

devayani boli - pitaji ath‍yanh‍t vriddh maharshi aangira jinake pitamah haian, tapash‍ya ke bhanh‍dar brihash‍pati jinake pita haian, jo rrishi ke putraur rrishi ke hi pautr haian; un brahmachari kach ke liye maian kaise shok n karooan aur kaise n roooan? tat ye brahmachary palan mean rat the, tapash‍ya hi unaka dhan tha. ve sada hi sajag rahane vale aur kary karane mean kushal the. isaliye kach mujhe bahut priy the. ve sada mere man ke anurup chalate the. ab maian bhojan ka th‍yag kar dooangi aur kach jis marg par gaye haian, vahian maian bhi chali jaooangi. vaishamh‍payanaji kahate haian- janamejay devayani ke kahane se usake du:kh se dukhi hue maharshi shukrachary ne kach ko pukara aur daith‍yoan ke prati kupit hokar bole- ‘isamean tanik bhi sanshay nahian hai ki asuralog mujhase dvesh karate haian. tabhi to yahaan aye hue mere shishh‍yoan ko ye log mar dalate haian.

‘ve bhayankar sh‍vabhav vale daith‍y mujhe brahmanath‍v se girana chahate haian. isaliye pratidin mere viruddh acharan kar rahe haian. is pap ka parinam yahaan avashh‍y prakat hoga. brahm hath‍ya kise nahian jala degi. chahe vah inh‍dr hi kh‍yoan n ho? jab guru vidya ka prayog karake bulaya, tab unake pet mean baithe hue kach bhayabhit ho dhire se bole. kach ne kaha- bhagavanh ap mujhapar prasann hoan, maian kach hooan aur apake charanoan mean pranam karata hooan. jaise putr par pita ka bahut ph‍yar hota hai, usi prakar ap mujhe bhi apana sh‍nehabhajan samajhean. vaishamh‍payanaji kahate haian- unaki avaj sunakar shukrachary ne poochha- ‘vipr kis marg se jakar tum mere udar mean sthit ho gaye? thik-thik batao’. kach ne kaha- gurudev apake prasad se meri sh‍maranashakti ne sath nahian chho da hai. jo bat jaise huee hai, vah sab mujhe yad hai. is prakar pet pha dakar nikal ane se meri tapash‍ya ka nash hoga. vah n ho, isiliye maian yahaan ghor klesh sahan karata hooan. acharyapad asuroan ne mujhe marakar mere sharir ko jalaya aur choorn bana diya. phi‍r use madira mean milakar apako pila diya ap brahmi, asuri aur daivi tinoan prakar ki mayaoan ko janate haian. apake hote hue koee in mayaoan ka ullanghan kaise kar sakata hai? shukrachary bole- beti devayani ab tumh‍hare liye kaun-sa priy kary karooan? mere vadh se hi kach ka jivit hona samh‍bhav hai. mere udar ko vidirn karane ke siva aur koee aisa upay nahian hai,jisase mere sharir mean baitha hua kach bahar dikhaee de. devayani ne kaha- pitaji kach ka nash aur apaka vadh- ye donoan hi shok agni ke saman mujhe jala deange. kach ke nasht hone par mujhe shanti nahian milegi aur apaka vadh ho jane par maian jivit nahian rah sakooangi.

shukrachary bole - brihash‍pati ke putr kach ab tum siddh ho gaye, kh‍yoanki tum devayani ke bhakt ho aur vah tumh‍hean chahati hai. yadi kach ke rup mean tum inh‍dr nahian ho, to mujhase mritasanjivini vidya grahan karo. keval ek brahman ko chho dakar doosara koee aisa nahian hai, jo mere pet se pun: jivit nikal sake. isaliye tum vidya grahan karo. tat mere is sharir se jivit nikalakar mere liye putr ke tulh‍y ho mujhe pun: jila dena. mujh guru se vidya prapt karake vidvanh ho jane par bhi mere prati dharmayukt drishti se hi dekhana. vaishamh‍payanaji kahate haian- janamejay guru se sanjivini vidya praph‍t karake sunh‍dar roop vale vipravar kach tath‍kal hi maharshi shukrachary ka pet pha dakar thik usi tarah bahar nikal aye, jaise din vitane par poornima ki sandhh‍ya ko chanh‍drama prakat ho jate haian. moortiman vedarashi ke tulh‍y shukrachary ko bhoomi par p da dekh kach ne bhi apane mare hue guru ko vidya ke val se jilakar utha diya aur us siddh vidya ko prapt kar lenepar guru ko pranam karake ve is prakar bole-‘maian vidya se shoonh‍y tha, das dasha mean mere in poojaniy achary jaise mere donoan kanoan mean mritasanjivini vidyarup amrit ki dhara dali hai, isi prakar jo koee doosare jnani mahath‍ma mere kanoan mean jnan rup amrit ka abhishek kareange, unh‍hean bhi maian apana mata-pita manooanga (jaise gurudev shukrachary ko manata hooan) gurudev ke dvara kiye hue upakar ko sh‍maran rakhate hue shishh‍y ko uchit hai ki vah unase kabhi droh n kare.

‘jo log samh‍poorn ved ke sarvottam jnan ko dene vale tatha samash‍t vidyaoan ke ashrayabhoot poojaniy gurudev ka unase vidya prapt karake bhi adar nahian karate, ve pratishtha rahit hokar pap poorn lokoan- narakoan mean jate haian. vaishamh‍payani kahate haian- janamejay! vidvan shukrachary madira pan se thage gaye the us ath‍yanh‍t bhayanak paristhiti ko pahuanch gaye the, jisamean tanik bhi chet nahian rah jata. madira se mohit hone ke karan hi ve us samay apane man ke anukool chalane vale priy shishh‍y brahman kumar kach ko bhi pi gaye the. yah sab dekh aur sochakar ve mahanubhav kaviputr shukr kupit ho uthe. madirapan ke prati unake man mean krodh aur ghrana ka bhav jag utha aur unh‍hoanne brahmanoan ka hit karane ki ichchha se sh‍vayan is prakar ghoshan ki-‘aj se is jagath ka koee bhi manh‍dabuddhi brahman ajnan se bhi madirapan karega, vah dharm se bhrasht ho brahm hath‍ya ke pap ka bhagi hoga tatha is lok aur paralok donoan mean vah nindit hoga. ‘dharmashastroan mean brahman-dharm ki jo sima nirdharit ki gayi hai, usi mean mere dvara sh‍thapit ki huee yah maryada bhi rahe aur yah samh‍poorn lok mean manh‍y ho. sadhu purush, brahman, kuruoan ke samip adhh‍yayan karane vale shishh‍y, devata aur samash‍t jagath ke manushh‍y, meri baandhi huee is maryada ko achh‍chhi tarah sun lean’. aisa kahakar tapash‍ya ki nidhiyoan ki nidhi, apramey shaktishali mahanubhav shukrachary ne daiv ne jinaki buddhi ko mohit kar diya tha un danavoan ko bulaya aur is prakar kaha- ‘danavo! tum sab moorkh ho. maian tumh‍hean bataye deta hooan- mahath‍ma kach mujh se sanjivini vidya pakar siddh ho gaye haian. inaka prabhav mere hi saman hai. ye brahman brahmash‍varup haian. ‘jin mahath‍ma kach ne devataoan ke liye vah dushh‍kar kary kiya hai, unaki kirti kabhi nasht nahian ho sakati aur ve yajnabhag ke adhikari hoange.’ aisa kahakar shukrachary chup ho gaye aur danav ashcharyachakit hokar apane-apane ghar ko chale gaye. kach ne ek hajar varshoan tak guru ke samip rahakar apana vrat poora kar liya. tab ghar jane ki anumati mil jane par kach ne devalok mean jane ka vichar kiya.
