जयदेव की जगन्नाथ यात्रा

jagannath mandir puri

jayadev bhagavan shrikrishn ke param bhakt the. premaras mean doobe hue sada shrikrishh‍n ka nam-gan karate rahate the. ve shriradha-madhav ji ke vigrahoan ki seva-pooja kiya karate the. bhagavan ki unake upar vishesh kripa thi, bhagavan ki isi kripa ko dekhakar unaka hriday dravit ho gaya. unh‍hoanne ghar-dvar chho dakar purushottam kshetr-puri jane ka vichar kiya aur apane gaanv ke parashar namak brahman ko sath lekar ve puri ki or chal p de. bhagavan ka bhajan-kirtan karate, magh‍n hue jayadev ji chalane lage. ek din marg mean jayadev ji ko bahut door tak kahian jal nahian mila. bahut jor ki garami p d rahi thi, ve ph‍yas ke mare vh‍yakul hokar jamin par gir p de. tab bhakt vaanchhakalh‍pataru hari ne sh‍vayan gopal-balak ke vesh mean padharakar jayadev ko kap de se hava ki aur jal tatha madhur doodh pilaya. tadananh‍tar marg batalakar unh‍hean shighr hi puri pahuancha diya. avashh‍y hi bhagavan ko chhadm vesh mean us samay jayadev ji aur unake sathi parashar ne pahachana nahian.

jayadev ji prem mean doobe hue sada shrikrishh‍n ka nam-gan karate rahate the. ek din bhavavesh mean akash‍mat unh‍hoanne dekha mano charoan or sunil parvat shreni hai, niche kal-kal-nandini kalinh‍di bah rahi hai. yamuna tir par kadamh‍b ke niche kh de hue bhagavan shrikrishn murali hath mean liye musakara rahe haian. yah drishh‍y dekhate hi jayadev ji ke mukh se akash‍mat yah git nikal p da-

parashar is madhur gan ko sunakar mugh‍dh ho gaya. bas, yahian se lalitamadhur ‘git-govinh‍d’ aramh‍bh hua! kaha jata hai, yahian jayadev ji ko bhagavan ke dasavataroan ke prath‍yaksh darshan hue aur unh‍hoanne ‘jay jagadish hare’ ki ter lagakar dasoan avataroan ki kramash: sh‍tuti gayi. kuchh samay bad jab unh‍hean bahy jnan hua, tab parashar ko sath lekar ve chale bhagavan shri jagannath ji ke darshan karane! bhagavan ke darshan praph‍t kar jayadev ji bahut prasann hue. unaka hriday ananh‍d se bhar gaya! ve purushottam kshetr puri mean ek virakt sannh‍yasi ki bhaanti rahane lage. unaka koee niyat sh‍than nahian tha. pray: vriksh ke niche hi ve raha karate aur bhiksha dvara kshudha-nivritti karate. din-rat prabhu ka dhh‍yan, chinh‍tan aur gunagan karana hi unake jivan ka ekamatr kary tha.

vivah

vivah ki ichh‍chha n hone par bhi sudev nam ke ek brahman ne bhagavan ki ajna se apani putri padmavati jayadev ji ko arpit kar di. jayadev ji ko bhagavan ka adesh manakar padmavati ke sath vivah karana p da. kuchh dinoan bad grihash‍th bane hue jayadev pativrata padmavati ko sath lekar apane gaanv kenh‍dubilh‍v laut aye aur bhagavan shri radhamadhav ki yugal shri moorti pratishthit karake donoan unaki seva mean pravritt ho gaye.

raja dvara jayadev ka samman

kuchh samay kenh‍dubilh‍v mean rahane ke bad jayadev ji yatra ko nikale. ek raja ne unaka b da samh‍man karake unh‍hean apane yahaan rakha aur vahaan se chalate samay ichh‍chha n rahane par bhi bahut-sa dhan unh‍hean de diya. jayadev ji ne use lene se inakar kiya; parantu raja ne kisi prakar bhi nahian mana, tab man marakar unh‍hoanne raja ki prasannata ke lie ni:sprih aur nirmam bhav se kuchh dhan sath le liya aur vahaan se apane gaanv ko chal p de. marg mean kuchh dakuoan ne pichhe se akraman karake jayadev ji ko niche gira diya aur dekhate hi dekhate unake charoan hath-pair katakar unh‍hean ek kueanan mean dal diya. anith‍y dhan ki gathari ke sath hi unh‍hoanne mahan du:kh ke karanaroop bhayanak pap ki bhari potali bhi baandh li. apani saphalatapar garv karate hue dakoo vahaan se chal diye.

bhagavath‍kripa se kuean mean jal bilakul nahian tha, isase jayadev ji doobe nahian. bhagavan ki daya se unh‍hean kahian chot bhi nahian ayi. ve kuean ke aandar ek sunh‍dar shila ko pakar usi par sukh se baith gaye aur prabhu ke vidhan par param prasann hote hue unaka nam-gun-kirtan karane lage. jayadev ji ne socha ki ho-n-ho yah mere dhan grahan karane ka hi parinam hai!

tho di der bad udhar se gau deshh‍var raja lakshh‍manasen ki savari nikali. kuean mean se adami ki avaj ati sunakar raja ne dekhane ki ajna di. ek sevak ne jakar dekha to maloom hua; koee manushh‍y sookhe kuean mean baitha shrikrishh‍n-nam-kirtan kar raha hai. raja ki ajna se usi kshan jayadev bahar nikale gaye aur ilaj karane ke liye unh‍hean sath lekar raja apani rajadhani gau d ko laut aye. shri jayadev ji ki vidvatta aur unake shrikrishn prem ka parichay praph‍t kar raja ko b di prasannata huee aur unake lokottar gunoan ko dekh vah unaka bhakt ban gaya.

raja ne hath-pair katane valoan ka nam-pata aur huliya poochha. jayadev ji nam-pata to janate hi nahian the; huliya bhi unh‍hoanne isaliye nahian batayi ki kahian raj karmachari unaka pata lagakar unh‍hean tang n karean.

chikith‍sa se jayadev ji ke ghav sookh gaye. raja ne unh‍hean apani pancharath‍n-sabha ka pradhan bana diya aur sarvadhh‍yakshata ka sara bhar unh‍hean sauanp diya. isake kuchh dinoan bad inaki path‍ni padmavati bhi shriradha-madhav ki yugal moorti ko lekar pati ke pas chali ayian. raja har tarah se dhanadi dekar jayadev ji ka samh‍man karana chahate; parantu dhan-man ke viragi bhakt jayadev mamooli kharch ke siva kuchh bhi nahian lete the. ek din rajamahal mean koee mahoth‍sav tha. usamean bhojan karane ke liye hajaroan daridr bhikshuk, atithi, brahman, sadhu adi aye the.

rajamahal mean dakuoan ka agaman

unh‍hian mean sadhu veshadhari ve charoan dakoo bhi the, jinh‍hoanne jayadev ji ko dhan ke lobh se unake hath-pair katakar kuean mean pheank diya tha. dakuoan ko kh‍ya pata tha ki hamane jise mara samajh liya tha, vahi yahaan sarvadhh‍yaksh hai. dakuoan ne door se hi jayadev ji ko dekha aur loole-lang de dekhakar unh‍hean turant pahachan liya. ve darakar bhagane ka mauka dekhane lage. itane mean hi jayadev ji ki drishti un par p di. dekhate hi ve vaise hi ananh‍d mean bhar gaye, jaise bahut dinoan ke bichhu de banh‍dhuoan ko dekhakar banh‍dhu ko ananh‍d hota hai. jayadev ji ne man mean socha, ‘inh‍hean dhan ki avashh‍yakata hogi. raja mujhase sada dhan lene ko kaha karate haian; aj inh‍hean kuchh dhan dilava diya jayaga to b da santosh hoga.' jayadev ji ne raja se kaha- "mere kuchh purane mitr aye haian, ap chahean to inh‍hean kuchh dhan de sakate haian.' kahane-bhar ki der thi. raja ne turant unh‍hean apane pas bulaya aur unaki ichh‍chha ke anusar bahut-sa dhan-dhanh‍y dekar adarapoorvak khilane-pilane ke bad vash‍tralankaroan se pun: samh‍manit karake premapoorvak unako vida kar diya. dhan ko bojh jh‍yada ho gaya tha tatha rash‍te mean sanbhalane ki bhi avashh‍yakata thi, isaliye jayadev ji ne ek aphasar ke sath char sevakoan ko unake sath kar diya. rah mean aphasar ne unake itana dhan-samh‍man pane ka rahash‍y janane ke liye unase poochha ki 'bhaeeyo ! apaka ni:sh‍prih bhaktavar jayadev ji ke sath kh‍ya samh‍banh‍dh hai, jisase unh‍hoanne ap logoan ko itani apar samh‍patti dilavakar apake upakar ka badala chukaya hai?'

papabuddhi dakuoan ne eeshh‍var ke nh‍yay aur bhay ko bhulakar kapat se kaha- "sahab ! tumh‍hara yah adhh‍yaksh aur ham log ek rajh‍y mean karmachari the. ham log aphasar the aur yah hamari matahati mean kam karata tha; isane ek bar aisa kukarm kiya ki raja ne gush‍se mean akar isaka sir u da dene ki ajna de di. us samay ham logoan ne daya karake ise bacha liya aur isake hath pair katavakar chho d diya. ham kahian yah bhed khol n dean, isi dar se isane hamara itana samh‍man kiya-karaya hai. hamane bhi usaka bura ho jane ke dar se kuchh bhi nahian kaha."

dakuoan ka itana kahana tha ki dh dam se dharati phati aur charoan jite hi usamean sama gaye! raj karmachari ashh‍chary mean doob gaya.

tadananh‍tar aphasar naukaroan ke sir par sara dhan ladavakar vapas rajadhani ko laut aye aur raja se unh‍hoanne sara hal suna diya. raja ne jayadev ko bulakar chakit man se sab batean sunayian. itane mean hi raja yah dekhakar ashh‍chary aur harsh mean doob gaya ki jayadev ji ki aankhoan se aansuoan ki dhara bah rahi hai aur unake kat hue hath-pair usi kshan pun: poorvavat sh‍vabhavik ho gaye haian. raja ne vismit hokar b de hi kautoohal se agrah poorvak sara hal poochha. jayadev ji ko ab sachh‍chi ghatana sunani p di. dayalu hriday jayadev ji ne kaha- "rajan ! maian bahut hi abhaga hooan, jisake karan un becharoan ke pran gaye. maianne dhan ko bura samajhakar chho d diya tha, pun: raja ke agrah se use grahan kiya. isi se van mean un becharoan ki buddhi lobhavash dooshit ho gayi aur unh‍hoanne dhan chhinane ke liye mujhe loola-lang da karake kuean mean dal diya. is prakar unh‍hoanne dhan ka aur dhan-grahan ka prath‍yaksh dosh siddh kar mere sath mitrata ka hi bartav kiya. maian unake upakar se dab gaya, isi se unh‍hean apake pas se dhan dilavaya. adhik dhan dilavane mean mera ek hetu yah bhi tha- yadi unaki dhan ki kamana poorn ho jayagi to ve dakoopan ke nirday kam ko chho d deange. avashh‍y hi mere hath-pair kisi poorvakrit karm ke phal se hi kate the, ve to keval lobhavash nimitt bane the. aj apane hi karan se unaki is prakar aprakritik mrith‍yu ka samachar sunakar mujhe rona a raha hai. yadi unaka dosh ho to bhagavan unh‍hean kshama karean. kitana ashh‍chary hai ki mere dosh n dekhakar bhagavan ne daya karake mere hath-pair pun: poorvavat bana diye haian. rajan ! aise mere ph‍yare shrikrishn ko jo nahian bhajata, usake saman abhaga aur kaun hoga.'

bhakt pravar shri jayadev ji ki vani sunakar raja chakit ho unake charanoan mean lot gaya. bhakt hriday ki mahatta ka prath‍yaksh parichay praph‍t kar vah usase ath‍yanh‍t prabhavit hokar bhakt ban gaya!

rani dvara padmavati ki pariksha

jayadev ji ki path‍ni padmavati bhi chhaya ki bhaanti sab prakar se sh‍vami ka anuvartan karane vali thi. bhagavan ke prati usaka prem bhi asim tha. pativrat dharm ka mahattv vah bhali-bhaanti janati thi. jayadev ji rajapoojh‍y the. isase rani, rajamata adi rajamahal ki mahilaean bhi unake ghar padmavati ji ke pas jakar sath‍sang ka labh uthaya karati thian. rani bahut hi sushila, sadhh‍vi, dharmaparayana aur pativrata thi. parantu usake man mean kuchh abhiman tha, isase kisi-kisi samay vah kuchh du:sahas kar baithati thi. ek din padmavati ke sath bhi vah aisa hi du:sahas poorn kary kar baithi.

sath‍sang ho raha tha. batoan-hi-batoan mean padmavati ne sati-dharm ki mahima batalate hue kaha ki ‘jo sh‍tri sh‍vami ke mar jane par usake shav ke sath jalakar sati hoti hai, vah to nichi shreni ki hi sati hai. uchch shreni ki sati to pati ke maran ka samachar sunate hi pran th‍yag deti hai.' rani ko yah bat nahian janchi. usane samajha, padmavati apane satitv ka gaurav badhane ke liye aisa kah rahi hai. man mean eershh‍ya jag uthi, rani pariksha karane ka nishh‍chay karake bina hi kuchh kahe mahal ko laut gayi. ek samay raja ke sath jayadev ji kahian bahar gaye the. rani suavasar samajhakar damh‍bh se vishadayukt chehara banakar padmavati ke pas gayi aur kapat-rudan karate-karate kaha ki ‘pandit ji ko van mean sianh kha gaya.' usaka itana kahana tha ki padmavati ‘shrikrishh‍n-krishh‍n’ kahakar dh dam se prithh‍vi par gir p dian! rani ne chauankakar dekha to padmavati achetan maloom hueean- pariksha karane par pata laga ki padmavati ke pran pakheroo sharir se u d gaye haian. rani ke hosh u d gaye. use apane du:sahas poorn, kukrith‍y par b da pashh‍chattap hua. vah sochan lagi, ‘ab maian maharaj ko kaise muanh dikhaooangi. jab patidev apane poojh‍y guru jayadev ji ki dharmashila path‍ni ki mrith‍yu ka karan mujhako samajheange, tab unh‍hean kitana kashh‍t hoga! jayadev ji ko bhi kitana sanh‍tap hoga! ha durdaiv !’ itane mean hi jayadev ji a pahuanche. raja ke pas bhi mrith‍yu-sanvad ja pahuancha tha, vah bhi vahian a gaya. raja ke du:kh ka par nahian raha. rani to jite hi mare ke saman ho gayi. jayadev ji ne rani ki sakhiyoan se sara hal janakar kaha- "rani-ma se kah do, ghabaraean nahian. meri mrith‍yu ke sanvad se padmavati ke pran nikal gaye to ab mere jivit yahaan a jane par un pranoan ko vapas bhi ana p dega." jayadev ji ne man-hi-man bhagavan se prarthana ki. kirtan aramh‍bh ho gaya. jayadev ji mash‍t hokar gane lage. dhire-dhire padmavati ke sharir mean pranoan ka sanchar ho aya. dekhate-hi-dekhate vah uth baithi aur hari-dhh‍vani karane lagi. rani ananh‍d ki adhikata se ro p di. usane kalank-bhanjan shrikrishh‍n ko dhanh‍yavad diya aur bhavishh‍y mean kabhi aisa du:sahas n karane ki pratijna kar li. sab or ananh‍d chha gaya. jayadev ji ki bhakti aur padmavati ke pativrat ka suyash charoan or phail gaya.
