भीष्म पितामह -अखण्डानन्द सरस्वती पृ. 28

shri bhishm pitamah -svami akhandanand sarasvati

kaurav-pandavoan ka janm tatha vidyadhyan pandu aur vidur ki utpatti se desh ka b da mangal hua. prithvi mean asim ann paida hone laga. unamean sarasata aur shakti vishesh rup se a gayi, varsha thik samay se hone lagi. vriksh phal-phool se lad gaye, pashu-pakshi prasannatapoorvak vicharane lage. phooloan mean apoorv sugandh aur phaloan mean anokha svad a gaya. charoan or kalakar, viddhanh aur sadachariyoan ki vriddh hone lagi. chor-dakuoan ka bhay mit gaya. kisi ke man mean bhi pap nahian ata tha. sarvatr yajn-yagadi punyakarm hote rahate the. abhiman, krodh aur lobh kam ho gaya tha. sab log tyag karake doosaroan ko santusht rakhate the. vahaan koee kanjoos ya vidhava stri nahian thi. sabaka ghar atithiyoan ke liye khula rahata tha. bhishm ne bachapan se hi unaki shiksha-diksha ka b da dhyan rakha tha. ve javan hote-hote sab shastroan mean parangat ho gaye. vishesh karake pandu dhanush yuddh mean b de nipun the, dhritarashtr sharir bal mean aur vidur dharmaniti mean. vayask hone par bhishm ne pandu ko hi rajasianhasan par abhishikt kiya. dhritarashtr aandhe the aur vidur dasiputr the, isaliye dharmat: ve rajy ke adhikari nahian mane gaye. bhishm ne tinoan ki sammati lekar unaka vivah kar diya. dhritarashtr ka vivah gandhari se hua, pandu ka vivah madraraj ki kanya shaly ki bahin madri se aur shrikrishn ki bua kunti se hua. yaduvanshiyoan ki ek sarvagun-sampann dasi kanya ke sath vidur ka vivah hua. tinoan hi sukhapoorvak apane kartavy ka palan karane lage aur bhishm unaki or drishti rakhate hue shantabhav se rahane lage. samay par dhritarashtr ke sau putr hue. ve ek-se-ek badhakar vir the. bhala aisa kaun bharatiy hoga jisane duryodhan aur du:shasan ka nam n suna ho. maharaj pandu ke viry se koee santan nahian huee. unaka svabhav b da vichitr tha. inhean shikar khelane mean b da maja ata. ye pray: parvatoan mean hi rahate, parantu yah vyasan vastav mean b da bura hai.
