bhishm ka bhim ko shishupal ke janm ka vritaant sunana
bhishmaji bole- bhimasen! suno, chediraj damaghosh ke kul mean jab yah shishupal utpann hua, us samay isake tin aankhean aur char bhujaean thian. isane rone ki jagah gadahe ke reankane ki bhaanti shabd kiya aur jor jor se garjana bhi ki. isase isake mata-pitya any bhaee bandhuoan sahit bhay se tharra uthe. isaki vah vikaral akriti dekh unhoanne ise tyag dene ka nishchiy kiya. patni, purohit tatha mantriyoan sati chediraj hriday chinta se mohit ho raha tha. us samay akashavani huee- ‘rajanh! tumhara yah putr shrisampann aur mahabali hai, at: tumhean isase darana nahian chahiye. tum shantachitt hokar is shishu ka palan karo. ‘nareshvar! abhi isaki mrityu nahi ayi hai aur n kal hi upasthit hua hai. jo isaki mrityu ka karan hai tatha jo shastr dvara isaka vadh karega, vah anyatr utpann ho chuka hai’. tadanantar yah akashavani sunakar us antarhit bhoot ko lakshy karake putr se santapt huee isaki mata boli- ‘mere is putr ke vishay mean jinhoanne yah bat kahi hai, unhean maian hath jo dakar pranam karati hooan. chahe ve koee devata hoan athava aur koee prani? ve phir mere prashn ka uttar dean. maian yah yatharth roop se sunana chahati hooan ki mere is putr ki mrityu mean kaun nimitt banega?’ tab pun: usi adrishy bhoot ne yah uttar diya- ‘jisake dvara god mean liye jane par paanch siravale do sarpoan ki bhaanti isaki paanchoan aanguliyoan se yukt do adhik bhujaean prithvi par gir jayangi aur jise dekhakar is balak ka lalatavarti tisara netr bhi lalat mean lin ho jayaga, vahi isaki mrityu mean nimitt banega'. char baanh aur tin aankh vale balak ke janm ka samachar sunakar bhoondal ke sabhi naresh use dekhane ke liye aye. chediaj ne apane ghar padhare hue un sabhi nareshoan ka yathayogy satkar karake apane putr ko har ek ki god mean rakha. is prakar vah shishu kramash: sahasroan rajaoan ki god mean alag-alag rakha gaya, parantu mrityusoochak lakshan kahian prapt nahi hua. dvaraka mean yahi samachar sunakar mahabali balaram aur shrikrishn donoan yaduvanshi vir apani bua se milane ke liye us samay chedirajy ki rajadhani mean gaye. vahaan balaram aur shrikrishn ne b de-chhote ke kram se sabako yathayogy pranam kiya evan raja damaghosh aur apani bua shrutashrava se kushal aur arogy vishayak prashn kiya. tatpashchat donoan bhaee ek uttam asan par virajaman hue. mahadevi shrutashrava ne b de prem se un donoan viroan ka satkar kiya aur svayan hi apane putr ko shrikrishn ki god mean dal diya. unaki god mean rakhate hi balak ki ve donoan baanhean gir gayian aur lalatavarti netr bhi vahian vilin ho gaya. yah dekhakar balak ki mata bhayabhit ho man hi man vyathit ho gayi aur shrikrishn se var maangati huee boli- ‘mahabahu shrikrishn! maian bhay se vyakul ho rahi hooan. mujhe is putr ki jivan raksha ke liye koee var do.[1]
shrikrishn ka shishupal ko varadan
‘kyoanki tum sankat mean p de hue praniyoan ke sabase b de sahare aur bhayabhit manushyoan ko abhay dene vale ho.’ apani bua ke aisa kahane par yadunandan shrikrishn ne kaha- ‘devi! dharmajne! tum daro mat. tumhean mujh se koee bhay nahian hai. bua! tumhian kaho, maian tumhean kaun-sa var dooan? tumhara kaun sa kary siddh kar dooan? ‘sambhav ho ya asambhav, tumhare vachan ka maian avashy palan karooanga.’ is prakar ashvasan milane par shrutashrava yadunandan shrikrishn se boli- ‘mahabali yadukulatilak shrikrishn! tum mere liye shishupal ke sab aparadh kshama kar dena. prabho! yahi mera manovaanchhit var samajho’. shrikrishn ne kaha- bua! tumhara putr apane doshoan ke karan mere dvara yadi vadh ke yogy hoga, to bhi maian iseke sau aparadh kshama karooanga. tum apane man mean shok n karo. bhishmaji kahate haian- viravar bhimasen! is prakar yah mandabuddhi papi raja shishupal bhagavan shrikrishn ke diye hue varadan se unmatt hokar tumhean yuddh ke liye lalakar raha hai.[2]
