'shrimadbhagavat mahapuran'[1] ke anusar- shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "priy parikshit! ek din samb, pradyumn, charubhanu aur gada adi yaduvanshi rajakumar ghoomane ke liye upavan mean gaye. vahaan bahut der tak khel khelate hue unhean pyas lag ayi. ab ve idhar-udhar jal ki khoj karane lage. ve ek kuean ke pas gaye; usamean jal to tha nahian, ek b da vichitr jiv dikh p da. vah jiv parvat ke saman akar ka ek giragit tha. use dekhakar unake ashchary ki sima n rahi. unaka hriday karuna se bhar aya aur ve use bahar nikalane ka prayatn karane lage. parantu jab ve rajakumar us gire hue giragit ko cham de aur soot ki rassiyoan se baandhakar bahar n nikal sake, tab kutoohalavash unhoanne yah ashcharyamay vrittant bhagavan shrikrishn ke pas jakar nivedan kiya. jagat ke jivanadata kamalanayan bhagavan shrikrishn us kuean par aye. use dekhakar unhoanne bayean hath se khel-khel mean-anayas hi usako bahar nikal liya. bhagavan shrikrishn ke karakamaloan ka sparsh hote hi usaka giragit-roop jata raha aur vah ek svargiy devata ke roop mean parinat ho gaya. ab usake sharir ka rang tapaye hue sone ke saman chamak raha tha aur usake sharir par adbhut vastr, abhooshan aur pushpoan ke har shobha pa rahe the. yadyapi bhagavan shrikrishn janate the ki is divy purush ko giragit-yoni kyoan mili thi, phir bhi vah karan sarvasadharan ko maloom ho jay, isaliye unhoanne us divy purush se poochha- "mahabhag! tumhara yah roop to bahut hi sundar hai. tum ho kaun? maian to aisa samajhata hooan ki tum avashy hi koee shreshth devata ho. kalyanamoorte! kis karm ke phal se tumhean is yoni mean ana p da tha? vastav mean tum isake yogy nahian ho. ham log tumhara vrittant janana chahate haian. yadi tum ham logoan ko vah batalana uchit samajho to apana parichay avashy do."
shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! jab anantamoorti bhagavan shrikrishn ne raja nrig se[2] is prakar poochha, tab unhoanne apana soory ke saman jajvalyaman mukut jhukakar bhagavan ko pranam kiya aur ve is prakar kahane lage.
raja nrig ne kaha- "prabho! maian maharaj ikshvaku ka putr raja nrig hooan. jab kabhi kisi ne apake samane daniyoan ki ginati ki hogi, tab usamean mera nam bhi avashy hi apake kanoan mean p da hoga. prabho! ap samast praniyoan ki ek-ek vritti ke sakshi haian. bhoot aur bhavishy ka vyavadhan bhi apake akhand jnan mean kisi prakar ki badha nahian dal sakata. atah apase chhipa hi kya hai? phir bhi maian apaki ajna ka palan karane ke liye kahata hooan. bhagavan! prithvi mean jitane dhoolikan haian, akash mean jitane tare haian aur varsha mean jitani jal ki dharaean girati haian, maianne utani hi gauean dan ki thian. ve sabhi gauean dudhar, naujavan, sidhi, sundar, sulakshana aur kapila thian. unhean maianne nyay ke dhan se prapt kiya tha. sabake sath bachh de the. unake siangoan mean sona madh diya gaya tha aur khuroan mean chaandi. unhean vastr, har aur gahanoan se saja diya jata tha. aisi gauean maine di thian. bhagavan! maian yuvavastha se sampann shreshth brahmanakumaroan ko-jo sadguni, shilasampann, kasht mean p de hue kutumb vale, dambharahit tapasvi, vedapathi, shishyoan ko vidyadan karane vale tatha sachcharitr hote-vastrabhooshan se alankrit karata aur un gauoan ka dan karata. is prakar maianne bahut-si gauean, prithvi, sona, ghar, gho de, hathi, dasiyoan ke sahit kanyaean, tiloan ke parvat, chaandi, shayya, vastr, ratn, grih-samagri aur rath adi dan kiye. anekoan yajn kiye aur bahut-se kuean, bavali adi banavaye.
ek din kisi apratigrahi[3], tapasvi brahman ki ek gay bichhu dakar meri gauoan mean a mili. mujhe is bat ka bilakul pata n chala. isaliye maianne anajan mean use kisi doosare brahman ko dan kar diya. jab us gay ko ve brahman le chale, tab us gay ke asali svami ne kaha- "yah gau meri hai." dan le jane vale brahman ne kaha- "yah to meri hai, kyoanki raja nrig ne mujhe isaka dan kiya hai." ve donoan brahman apas mean jhag date hue apani-apani bat kayam karane ke liye mere pas aye. ek ne kaha- "yah gay abhi-abhi apane mujhe di hai" aur doosare ne kaha ki "yadi aisi bat hai to tumane meri gay chura li hai." bhagavan! un donoan brahmanoan ki bat sunakar mera chitt bhramit ho gaya. maianne dharmasankat mean p dakar un donoan se b di anunay-vinay ki aur kaha ki- "maian badale mean ek lakh uttam gauean dooanga. ap log mujhe yah gay de dijiye. maian ap logoan ka sevak hooan. mujhase anajane mean yah aparadh ban gaya hai. mujh par ap log kripa kijiye aur mujhe is ghor kasht se tatha ghor narak mean girane se bacha lijiye."
"rajan! maian isake badale maian kuchh nahian looanga." yah kahakar gay ka svami chala gaya. "tum isake badale mean ek lakh hi nahian, das hazar gaean aur do to bhi maian lene ka nahian." is prakar kahakar doosara brahman bhi chala gaya. devadhidev jagadishvar! isake bad ayu samapt hone par yamaraj ke doot aye aur mujhe yamapuri le gaye. vahaan yamaraj ne mujhase poochha- "rajan! tum pahale apane pap ka phal bhogana chahate ho ya puny ka? tumhare dan aur dharm ke phalasvaroop tumhean aisa tejasvi lok prapt hone vala hai, jisaki koee sima hi nahian hai." bhagavan! tab maianne yamaraj se kaha- "dev! pahale maian apane pap ka phal bhogana chahata hooan." aur usi kshan yamaraj ne kaha- "tum gir jao." unake aisa kahate hi maian vahaan se gira aur girate hi samay maianne dekha ki maian giragit ho gaya hooan. prabho! maian brahmanoan ka sevak, udar, dani aur apaka bhakt tha. mujhe is bat ki utkat abhilasha thi ki kisi prakar apake darshan ho jayan. is prakar apaki kripa se mere poorvajanmoan ki smriti nasht n huee. bhagavan! ap paramatma haian. b de-b de shuddh-hriday yogishvar upanishadoan ki drishti se[4] apane hriday mean apaka dhyan karate haian. indriyatit paramatman! sakshat ap mere netroan ke samane kaise a gaye. kyoanki maian to anek prakar ke vyasanoan, duahkhad karmoan mean phansakar aandha ho raha tha. apaka darshan to tab hota hai, jab sansar ke chakkar se chhutakara milane ka samay ata hai.

raja nrig ne is prakar kahakar bhagavan ki parikrama ki aur apane mukut se unake charanoan ka sparsh karake pranam kiya. phir unase ajna lekar sabake dekhate-dekhate hi ve shreshth viman par savar ho gaye. raja nrig ke chale jane par brahmanoan ke param premi, dharm ke adhar devakinandan bhagavan shrikrishn ne kshatriyoan ko shiksha dene ke liye vahaan upasthit apane kutumb ke logoan se kaha- "jo log agni ke saman tejasvi haian, ve bhi brahmanoan ka tho de-se-tho da dhan h dapakar nahian pacha sakate. phir jo abhimanavash jhooth-mooth apane ko logoan ka svami samajhate haian, ve raja to kya pacha sakate haian? maian halahal vish ko vish nahian manata, kyoanki usaki chikitsa hoti hai. vastutah brahmanoan ka dhan hi param vish hai, usako pacha lene ke liye prithvi mean koee aushadh, koee upay nahian hai. halahal vish keval khane vale ka hi pran leta hai aur ag bhi jal ke dvara bujhayi ja sakati hai; parantu brahman ke dhan roop arani se jo ag paida hoti hai, vah sare kul ko samool jala dalati hai. brahman ka dhan yadi usaki poori-poori sammati liye bina bhoga jay, tab to vah bhogane vale, usake l dake aur pautr-in tin pidhiyoan ko hi chaupat karata hai. parantu yadi balapoorvak hath karake usaka upabhog kiya jay, tab to poorvapurushoan ki das pidhiyaan aur age ki bhi das pidhiyaan nasht ho jati haian. jo moorkh raja apani rajalakshmi ke ghamand se aandhe hokar brahmanoan ka dhan h dapana chahate haian, samajhana chahiye ki ve jan-boojhakar narak mean jane ka rasta saph kar rahe haian. ve dekhate nahian ki unhean adhahpatan ke kaise gahare gaddhe mean girana p dega. jin udarahriday aur bahu-kutumbi brahmanoan ki vritti chhin li jati hai, unake rone par unake aansoo ki booandoan se dharati ke jitane dhoolakan bhigate haian, utane varshoan tak brahman ke svatv ko chhinane vale us uchchhrankhal raja aur usake vanshajoan ko kumbhi pak narak mean duahkh bhogana p data hai. jo manushy apani ya doosaroan ki di huee brahmanoan ki vritti, unaki jivika ke sadhan chhin lete haian, ve sath hazar varsh tak vishtha ke ki de hote haian. isaliye maian to yahi chahata hooan ki brahmanoan ka dhan kabhi bhool se bhi mere kosh mean n aye, kyoanki jo log brahmanoan ke dhan ki ichchha bhi karate haian, use chhinane ki bat to alag rahi, ve is janm mean alpayu, shatruoan se parajit aur rajyabhrasht ho jate haian aur mrityu ke bad bhi doosaroan ko kasht dene vale saanp hi hote haian.
isaliye mere atmiyo! yadi brahman aparadh kare, to bhi usase dvesh mat karo. vah mar hi kyoan n baithe ya bahut-si galiyaan ya shap hi kyoan n de, use tum log sada namaskar hi karo. jis prakar maian b di savadhani se tinoan samay brahmanoan ko pranam karata hooan, vaise hi tum log bhi kiya karo. jo meri is ajna ka ullanghan karega, use maian kshama nahian karooanga, dand dooanga. yadi brahman ke dhan ka apaharan ho jay to vah apahrit dhan us apaharan karane vale ko-anajan mean usake dvara yah aparadh hua ho to bhi-adhahpatan ke gaddhe mean dal deta hai. jaise brahman ki gay ne anajan mean use lene vale raja nrig ko narak mean dal diya tha."
parikshit! samast lokoan ko pavitr karane vale bhagavan shrikrishn dvarakavasiyoan ko is prakar upadesh dekar apane mahal mean chale gaye.
