mahabharat shanti parv mean apaddharm parv ke aantargat 141vean adhyay mean vishvamitr aur chandal ke sanvad ka varnan hua hai, jo is prakar hai

yudhishthir ka bhishm se prashn karana

yudhishthir ne poochha- prajanath! bharatanandan! bhoopal- shiromane! jab sab logoan dvara dharm ka ulh‍langhan hone ke karan shreshth dharm kshin ho chale, adharm ko dharm man liya jay aur dharm ko adharm samajha jan lage, sari maryadaean nasht ho jay, dharm ka nishh‍chay daanvadol ho jay, raja athava shatru praja ko pi da dene lage, sabhi ashram kiankartavh‍yavi‍moodh ho jay, dharm-karm nasht ho jay, kam, lobh tatha moh ke karan sabako sarvatr bhay dikhayi dene lage, kisi ka kisi par vishh‍vas n rah jay, sabhi sada darate rahe, log dhokhe se ek-doosare ko marane lage, sabhi apas mean thagi karane lage, desh mean sab or ag lagayi jane lage, brahman ath‍yant pi dit ho jay, vrishti n ho, parash‍par vair-virodh aur phoot badh jay aur prithh‍vi par jivika ke sare sadhan luteroan ke adhin ho jay, tab aisa adham samay upasthit hone par brahman kis upay se jivan nirvah kare? nareshh‍var! pitamah! yadi brahman aisi apatti ke samay dayavash apane putr-pautroan ka parith‍yag karana n chahe to vah kaise jivika chalave, yah mujhe batane ki kripa karean. parantap! jab log papaparayan ho jay, us avash‍tha mean raja kaisa bartav kare, jisase vah dharm aur arth se bhi bhrasht n ho?

bhishm dvara chanh‍dal aur vishvamitr ke sanvad ka varnan yudhishthir se karana

bhishh‍m ji ne kaha- mahabahoan! praja ke yog, kshem, uth‍tam vrishti, vh‍yadhi, mrith‍yu aur bhay-in sabaka mool karan raja hi hai. bharatashreshth! sath‍yayug, treta, dvapar aur kaliyug- in sabaka mool karan raja hi hai, aisa mera vichar hai. isaki sath‍yata mean mujhe tanik bhi sandeh nahian hai. prajaoan ke liye dosh uth‍panh‍n karane vale aise bhayanak samay ke ane par brahman ko vijnan bal ka ashray lekar jivan-nirvah karana chahiye. is vishay mean chanh‍dal ke ghar mean chanh‍dal aur vishvamitr ka jo sanvad hua tha, us prachin itihas ka udaharan log diya karate haian.

treta aur dvapar ke sandhi ki bat hai, daivavash sansar mean barah varshoan tak bhayankar anavrishti ho gayi (varsha huee hi nahian). tretayug pray: bit gaya tha, dvapar ka aranbh ho raha tha, prajaean bahut badh gayi thian, jinake liye varsha band ho jane se pralayakal-sa upasthit ho gaya. inh‍dr ne varsha band kar di thi, brihaspati pratilom (vakri) ho gaya tha, chandrama vikrit ho gaya tha aur vah dakshin marg par chala gaya tha. un dinoan kuhasa bhi nahian hota tha, phir badal kahaan se uth‍panh‍n hote. nadiyoan ka jalapravah ath‍yanh‍t kshin ho gaya aur kitani hi nadiyaan adrishh‍y ho gayian. b de-b de sarovar, saritaean, koop aur jharane bhi us daivavihit athava sh‍vabhavik anavrishti se shri‍hin hokar dikhayi hi nahian dete thean. chhote-chhote jalashay sarvatha sookh gaye. jalabhav ke karan pauansalean band ho gaye. bhootal par yajn aur sh‍vadhh‍yay ka lop ho gaya. vashatkar aur maangalik uth‍savoan ka kahian nam bhi nahian rah gaya. kheti aur go raksha chaupat ho gayi, bajar-hat band ho gaye. yoop aur yajnoan ka ayojan samaph‍t ho gaya tatha b de-b de uth‍sav nasht ho gaye. sab aur haddiyoan ke dher lag gaye. praniyoan ke mahan artanad sab or vh‍yapat ho rahe the. nagar ke adhikaansh bhag uja d ho gaye the tatha gaanv aur ghar jal gaye the. kahian choroan se, kahian astr-shastroan se, kahian rajaoan se aur kahian kshudhatur manushh‍yoan dvara upadrav khada़ hone ke karan tatha parash‍parik bhay se bhi vasudha ka bahut bada़ bhag uja d hokar nirjan ban gaya tha. devalay tatha math-mandir adi sansh‍thaean uth gayi thian, balak aur boodhe़ mar gaye the, gay, bhe d, bakari aur bhaiansean pray: samaph‍t ho gayi thian, kshudhatur prani ek-doosare par aghat karate the. brahman nasht ho gaye the. rakshakavriand ka bhi vinash ho gaya tha, aushadhiyoan ke samooh (anaj aur phal adi) bhi nasht ho gaye the, vasudha par sab or samash‍t praniyoan ka hahakar vh‍yaph‍t ho raha tha. yudhishthir! aise bhayankar samay mean dharm ka nash ho jane ke karan bhookh se pi dit hue manushh‍y ek-doosare ko khane lage. agni ke upasak rrishigan niyam aur agnihotr th‍yagakar apane ashramoan ko bhi chho dakar bhojan ke liye idhar-udhar dau d rahe the.

vishvamitr ka chanh‍dal basti mean pahuanchana

inh‍hi dinoan buddhiman maharshi bhagavan vishvamitr bhookh se pi dit ho ghar chho dakar charoan or dau d laga rahe the. unh‍honean apani path‍ni aur putroan ko kisi jan-samuday mean chho d diya aur sh‍vayan agnihotr tatha ashram th‍yagakar bhakshh‍y aur abhakshh‍y mean saman bhav rakhate hue vicharane lage. ek din ve kisi van ke bhitar praniyoan ka vadh karane vale hiansak chanh‍daloan ki bash‍ti mean girate-p date ja pahuanche. vahaan charoan or toote-phoote gharoan ke khapare aur thikare bikhare p de the, kuth‍toan ke cham de chhedane vale hathiyar rakhe hue the, sooaroan aur gadahoan ki tooti haddiyaan, khap de aur gh de vahaan sab or bhare dikhayi de rahe the. murdoan ke oopar se utare gaye kap de charoan or phailaye gaye the aur vahian se utare hue phool ki malaoan se un chanh‍daloan ke ghar saje hue the. chanh‍daloan ki kutiyoan aur mathoan ko sarp ki keanchuloan ki malaoan se vibhooshit evan chihnit kiya gaya tha. us palh‍li mean sab or murgo ki ‘kukuhookoo’ ki avaj gooanj rahi thi. gadahoan ke reankane ki dhh‍vani bhi pratidhh‍vanit ho rahi thi. ve chanh‍dal apas mean jhag da-phasad karake kathor vachanoan ke dvara ek-doosare ko kosate hue kolahal macha rahe the. vahaan kee devalay the, jinake bhitar ulh‍loo pakshi ki avaj gooanjati rahati thi. vahaan ke gharoan ko lohe ki ghantiyoan se sajaya gaya tha aur jhuand-ke-jhuand kuth‍te un gharoan ko ghere hue the.

vishvamitr ka chandal ke ghar jana

us bash‍ti mean ghusakar bhookh se pi dit hue maharshi vishvamitr ahar ki khoj mean lagakar usake liye mahan prayath‍n karane lage. vishvamitr vahaan ghar-ghar ghoom-ghoomakar bhikh maangate phire, parantu kahian bhi unh‍hean maans, anh‍n, phal, mool ya doosari koee vash‍tu praph‍t n ho saki. ‘aho! yah to mujh par b da bhari sankat a gaya.’ aisa sochate-sochate vishvamitr ath‍yant durbalata ke karan vahian ek chanh‍dal ke ghar mean prithh‍vi par gir p de. nripashreshth! ab ve mu‍ni yah vichar karane lage ki kis tarah mera bhala hoga? kh‍ya upay kiya jay, jisase anh‍n ke bina meri vh‍yarth mrith‍yu n ho sake? rajan! itane hi mean unh‍honean dekha ki chanh‍dal ke ghar mean turant ke shastr dvara mare hue kuth‍te ki jaangh ke maans ka ek b da-sa tuk da p da hai. tab muni ne sacha ki ‘mujhe yahaan se is maans ki chori karani chahiye; kh‍yoanki is samay mere liye apane pranoan ki raksha ka doosara koee upay nahian hai. ‘apattikal mean pran raksha ke liye brahman ko shreshth, saman tatha hin manushh‍y ke ghar se chori kar lena uchit hai, yah shastr ka nishchit vidhan hai. ‘pahale hin purush ke ghar se use bhakshh‍y padarth ki chori karani chahiye. vahaan kam n chale to apane saman vh‍yakti ke ghar se khane ki vash‍tu leni chahiye, yadi vahaan bhi abhisht siddhi n ho sake to apane se vishisht dharmath‍ma purush ke yahaan se vah khady vash‍tu ka apaharan kar le. ‘a‍t: in chanh‍daloan ke ghar se maian yah kuth‍te ki jaangh churaye leta hooan. kisi ke yahaan dan lene se adhik dosh mujhe is chori mean nahian dikhayi deta hai; at: avashh‍y hi isaka apaharan k‍rooanga’. bharatananh‍dan! aisa nishh‍chay karake mahamuni vishvamitr usi sh‍than par so gaye, jahaan chanh‍dal raha karate the. jab pragadh aandhakar se yukh‍t adhi rat ho gayi aur chanh‍dal ke ghar ke sabhi log so gaye, tab bhagavan vishvamitr dhire se uthakar us chanh‍dal ki kutiya mean ghus gaye.

vishvamitr aur chandal ka sanvad

vah chanh‍dal soya hua jan p data tha. usaki aankhean kich d se band-si ho gayi thian; parantu vah jagata tha. vah dekhane mean b da bhayanakatha. sh‍vabhav ka rookha bhi pratit hota tha. muni ko aya dekh vah phate hue sh‍var mean bol utha. chanh‍dal ne kaha - are! chanh‍daloan ke gharoan mean to sab log so gaye haian, phir kaun yahaan akar kuth‍te ki jaangh lene ki cheshta kar raha hai? maian jagata hooan, soya nahian hooan. maian dekhata hooan, too mara gaya. us kroor sh‍vabhav vale chanh‍dal ne jab aisi bat kahi, tab vishvamitr usase dar gaye. unake mukh par lajh‍ja ghir ayi. ve us nich karm se udvigh‍n ho sahasa bol uthe- ‘ayushh‍man! maian vishvamitr hooan. bhookh se pi dit hokar yahaan aya hooan. uth‍tam buddhivale chanh‍dal! yadi too thik-thik dekhata aur samajhata hai to mera vadh n kar’. pavitr anh‍t: karan vale us mahish ka vah vachan sunakar chanh‍dal ghabarakar apani shayh‍ya se utha aur unake pas chala gaya. usane b de adar ke sath hath jo dakar netroan se aansoo bahate hue vahaan vishvamitr se kaha- ‘brahman! is rat ke samay apaki yah kaisi cheshta hai? ap kh‍ya karana chahate haian?’

vishvamitr ne chandal ko sanh‍th‍vana dete hue kaha- ‘bhaee! maian bahut bhookha hooan. mere pran ja rahe haian; at: maian yah kuth‍te ki jaangh le jaooanga. ‘bhookh ke mare yah papakarm karane par utar aya hooan. bhojan ki ichh‍chha vale bhookhe manushh‍y ko kuchh bhi karane mean lajh‍ja nahian ati. bhookh hi mujhe kalankit kar rahi hai, at: maian yah kuth‍te ki jaangh le jaooanga. ‘mere pran shithil ho rahe haian. kshudha se meri shravanashakti nasht hoti ja rahi hai. maian dubala ho gaya hooan. meri chetana luph‍t-si ho rahi hai; at: ab mujhamean bhakshh‍y aur abhakshh‍y ka vichar nahian rah gaya hai. ‘maian janata hooan ki yah adharm hai to bhi yah kuth‍te ki jaangh le jaooanga. maian tum logoan ke gharoan par ghoom-ghoomakar maangane par bhi jab bhikh nahian pa saka hooan, tab maianne yah pap karm karane ka vichar kiya hai; at: kuth‍te ki jaangh le jaooanga. ‘agnidev devataoan ke mukh haian, purohit haian, pavitr dravh‍y hi grahan karate haian aur mahan prabhavashali haian tathapi ve jaise avash‍tha ke anusar sarvabhakshi ho gaye haian, usi prakar maian brahman hokar bhi sarvabhakshi banooanga; at: tum dharmat: mujhean brahman hi samajhoan’.

tab chanh‍dal ne unase kaha- ‘maharshe! meri bat suniye aur use sunakar aisa kam kijiye, jisase apaka dharm nasht n ho. ‘brahmarshe! maian apake liye bhi jo dharm ki hi bat bata raha hooan, use suniye. manishi purush kahate haian ki kuth‍ta siyar se bhi adham hota hai. kuth‍te ke sharir mean bhi usaki jaangh ka bhag sabase adham hota hai. ‘maharshe! apane jo nishh‍chay kiya hai, yah thik nahian hai, chanh‍dal ke dhan ka, usamean bhi vishesh roop se abhakshh‍y padarth ka apaharan dharm ki drishti se ath‍yant nindit hai. ‘mahamune! apane pranoan ki raksha ke liye koee doosara achh‍chha - sa upay sochiye. maans ke lobh se ap ki tapasya ka nash nahian hona chahiye. ‘ap shastravihit dharm ko janate haian, at: apake dvara dharmasankarata ka prachar nahian hona chahiye. dharm ka th‍yag n kijiye; kh‍yoanki ap dharmath‍maoan mean shreshth samajhe jate haian. bharatashreshth! nareshh‍var! chanh‍dal ke aisa kahane par kshudha se pi dit hue mahamuni vishvamitr ne use is prakar utar diya- ‘maian bhojan n milane ke karan usaki prapti ke liye idhar-udhar dau d raha hooan. isi prayath‍n mean ek lanba samay vh‍yatit ho gaya, kiantu mare pranoan ki raksha ke liye ab tak koee upay hath nahian aya. ‘jo bhookhoan mar raha ho, vah jis-jis upay se athava jis kisi bhi karm se samh‍bhav ho, apane jivan ki raksha kare, phir samarth hone par vah dharm ka acharan kar sakata hai. ‘inh‍dr devata ka jo palan roop dharm hai, vahi kshatriyoan ka bhi hai aur agnidev ka jo sarvabhakshith‍v namak gun hai, vah brahmanoan ka hai. mera bal vedaroopi agni hai; at: maian kshudha ki shanti ke liye sab kuchh bhakshan karooanga. ‘jaise-jaise hi jivan surakshit rahe, use bina avahelana karana chahiye. marane se jivit rahana shreshth hai, kh‍yoanki jivit purush pun: dharm ka acharan kar sakata hai. ‘isaliye maianne jivan ki akaanksha rakhakar is abhakshh‍y padarth ka bhi bhakshan kar lene ka buddhipoorvak nishh‍chay kiya hai. isaka tum anumodan karo. ‘jaise soory adi jh‍yotirmay grah mahan aandhakar ka nash kar dete haian, usi prakar maian pun: tap aur vidyadvara jab apane-apako sabal kar looanga, tab sare ashubh karmoan ka nash kar dalooanga’.

chanh‍dal ne kaha- mune! ise khakar koee bahut b di ayu nahian praph‍t kar sakata. n to isase pranashakti praph‍t hoti hai aur n amrit ke saman tripti hi hoti hai; at: ap koee doosari bhiksha maangiye. kuth‍te ka maans khane ki or ap ka man nahian jana chahiye. kuth‍ta dvijoan ke liye abhakshh‍y hai. vishvamitr bole- shh‍vapak! sare desh mean akal p da hai; at: doosara koee maans sulabh nahian hoga, yah meri dridh manh‍yata hai. mere pas dhan nahian hai ki maian bheajh‍y padarth kharid sakooan, idhar bhookh se mera bura hal hai. maian nirashray tatha nirash hooan. maian samajhata hooan ki mujhe is kuth‍te ke maans mean hi shadras bheajan ka ananh‍d bhalibhaanti praph‍t hoga. chanh‍dal ne kaha- brahman, kshatriy aur vaishh‍y ke liye paanch nakhoanvale paanch prakar ke prani apattikal mean bhakshh‍y bataye gaye haian. yadi ap shastr ko praman manate haian to abhakshh‍y padarth ki or man n le jaiye. vishvamitr bole- bhookhe hue maharshi agash‍th‍y ne vatapi namak asur ko kha liya tha. maian to kshudha ke karan bhari apatti mean p d gaya hooan; at: yah kuth‍te ki jaangh avashh‍y khaooanga. chanh‍dal ne kaha- mune! ap doosari bhiksha le aiye. ise grahan karana ap ke liye uchit nahian hai. apaki ichh‍chha ho to yah kuth‍te ki jaangh le jaiye; parantu maian nishchit roop se kahata hooan ki apako isaka bhakshan nahian karana chahiye. vishvamitr bole- shishtapurush hi dharm ki pravritti ke karan haian. maian unh‍hian ke achar ka anusaran karata hooan; at: is kuth‍te ki jaangh ko maian pavitr bhojan ke saman hi bhakshaniy manata hooan. chanh‍dal ne kaha- kisi asadhu purush ne yadi koee anuchit kary kiya ho to vah sanatan dharm nahian mana jayega; at: ap yahaan n karane yogh‍y karm n kijiye. koee bahana lekar pap karane par utaroo n ho jaiye. vishvamitr bole- koee shreshth rrishi aisa karm nahian kar sakata, jo patak ho a‍thava jisaki ninh‍da ki gayi ho. kuth‍te aur mrig donoan hi pashu hone ke karan mere mat mean saman hai; at: maian yah kuth‍te ki jaangh avashh‍y khaooanga.

chanh‍dal ne kaha- maharshi agash‍th‍y ne brahmanoan ki raksha ke liye prarthana ki jane par vaisi avash‍tha mean vatapi ka bhakshan roop kary kiya tha (unake vaisa karane se bahut se brahmanoan ki raksha ho gayi; anh‍yatha vah rakshas un sabako kha jata; at: maharshi ka vah kary dharm hi tha) dharm vahi hai, jisamean leshamatr bhi pap n ho. brahman gurujan hai; at: sabhi upayoan se unaki evan unake dharm ki raksha karani chahiye. vishvamitr bole- (yadi agash‍th‍y ne brahmanoan ki raksha ke liye vah kary kiya tha to maian bhi mitr ki raksha ke liye use karooanga) yah brahman ka sharir mera mitr hi hai. yahi jagat mean mere liye param priy aur adaraniy hai. isi ko jivit rakhane ke liye maian yah kuth‍te ki jaangh le jana chahata hooan; at: aise nrishans karmoan se mujhe tanik bhi bhay nahian hota hai. chanh‍dal ne kaha- vidvan! achh‍chhe purush apane pranoan ka parith‍yag bhale hi kar dean, parantu ve kabhi abhakshh‍y-bhakshan ka vichar nahian karate haian. isi se ve apani samh‍poorn kamanaoan ko praph‍t kar lete haian; at: ap bhi bhookh ke sath hi- upavas dvara hi apani man kamana ki poorti kijiye.

vishvamitr bole- yadi upavas karake pran de diya jay to marane ke bad kh‍ya hoga? yah sanshayayukh‍t bat hai; parantu aisa karane se punh‍yakarmoan ka vinash hoga, isamean sanshay nahian hai, (kh‍yoanki sharir hi dharmacharan ka mool haian) at: maian jivan raksha ke pashh‍chat phir pratidin vrat evan sham, dam adi mean tath‍par rahakar papakarmoan ka prayashchit kar looanga. is samay to dharm ke moolabhoot sharir ki hi raksha karana avashh‍yak hai; at: maian is abhakshh‍y padarth ka bhakshan karooanga. yah kuth‍te ka maans-bhakshan do prakar ho sakata hai- ek buddhi aur vicharapoorvak tatha doosara ajnan evan asakti poorvak. buddhi evan vichar dvara sochakar dharm ke mool tatha jnanaprapti ke sadhanabhoot sharir ki raksha mean punh‍y hai, yah bat sh‍vat: sh‍pasht ho jati hai. isi tarah moh evan asaktipoorvak us kary mean pravrit hone se dosh ka hona bhi sh‍pasht hi hai. yadyapi maian man mean sanshay lekar yah kary karane ja raha hooan tathapi mera vishh‍vas hai ki maian is maans ko khakar tumh‍hare-jaisa chanh‍dal nahian ban jaooanga. (tapash‍ya dvara isake dosh ka marjan kar looanga) chanh‍dal ne kaha- yah kuth‍te ka maans khana ap ke liye ath‍yanh‍n dukh:dayak pap hai. isase apako bachana chahiye. yah mera nishchit vichar hai, isiliye maian mahan papi aur brahmanetar hone par bhi apako baranbar ulahana de raha hooan. avashh‍y hi yah dharm ka upadesh karana mere liye dhoortatapoorn cheshta hi hai.

vishvamitr bole - medhakoan ke tarr-tarr karate rahane par bhi gauean jalashayoan mean jal piti hi haian. (vaise hi tumh‍hare mana karane par bhi maian to yah abhakshh‍y-bhakshan karooanga hi) tumh‍hean dharmopadesh dene ka koee adhikar nahian hai; at: tum apani prashansa karane vale n bano. chanh‍dal ne kaha-brahman! maian to apaka hitaishi suhrid banakar hi yah dharmacharan ki salah de raha hooan; kh‍yoanki ap par mujhe daya a rahi hai. yah jo kalh‍yan bat bata raha hooan, ise ap grahan karean. lobhavash pap n karean. vishvamitr bole- bhaiya! yadi tum mere hitaishi sahrid ho aur mujhe sukh dena chahate ho to is vi‍patti se mera uddhar karo. maian apane dharm ko janata hooan. tum to yah kuth‍te ki jaangh mujhe de do. chanh‍dal ne kaha- brahman maian yah abhakshh‍y vash‍tu apako nahian de sakata aur mere is anh‍n ka apake dvara apaharan ho, isaki upeksha bhi nahian kar sakata. ise dene vala maian aur lene vale ap brahman donoan hi papaliph‍t hokar narak mean padeange. vishvamitr bole- aj yah papakarm karake bhi yadi maian jivit raha to param pavitr dharm ka anushthan karooanga. isase mere tan, man pavitr ho jayage aur maian dharm ka hi phal praph‍t karooanga. jivit rahakar dharmacharan karana aur upavas karake pran dena- in donoan mean kaun b da hai, yah mujhe batao.

chanh‍dal ne kaha- kis kul ke liye kaun-sa kary dharm hai, is vishay mean yah atma hi sakshi hai. is abhakshh‍y-bhakshan mean jo pap hai, use ap bhi janate haian. meri samajh mean jo kuth‍te ke maans ko bhakshaniy batakar usaka adar karean, usake liye is sansar mean kuchh bhi th‍yajh‍y nahian hai. vishvamitr bole- chanh‍dal! maian ise manata hooan ki tumase dan lene aur is abhakshh‍y vash‍tu ko khane mean dosh hai phir bhi jahaan n khane se pran jane ki samh‍bhavana ho, vahaan ke liye shastroan mean sada hi apavad vachan milate haian. jisase hiansa aur asath‍y ka to dosh hai hi nahian, leshamatr ninh‍daroop dosh hai. pran jane ke avasaroan par bhi jo abhakshh‍y-bhakshan ka nishedh hi karane vale vachan haian, ve gurutar athava adaraniy nahian haian. chanh‍dal ne kaha- dvijenh‍dr! yadi is abhakshh‍y vash‍tu-ko khane mean apake liye yah pranaraksharoopi hetu hi pradhan hai tab to apake mat mean n ved praman hai aur n shreshth purushoan ka achar-dharm hi. at: maian apake liye bhakshh‍y vash‍tu ke abhakshan mean athava abhakshh‍y vash‍tu ke bhakshan mean koee dosh nahian dekh raha hooan, jaisa ki yahaan apaka is maans ke liye yah mahan agrah dekha jata hai. vishvamitr bole- akhady vash‍tu khane vale ko brahmahath‍ya adi ke saman mahan patak lagata ho, aisa koee shastriy vachan dekhane mean nahian ata. haan, sharab pikar brahman patit ho jata hai, aisa shastr vakh‍y sh‍pasht roop se upalabh‍dh hota hai; at: v‍h surapan avashh‍y th‍yajh‍y hai. jaise doosare-doosare karm nishiddh haian, vaisa hi abhakshh‍y-bhakshan bhi hai. apatti ke samay ek bar kiye hue kisi samanh‍y pap se kisi ke ajivan kiye hue punh‍y karm ka nash nahian hota. chanh‍dal ne kaha- jo ayogh‍y sh‍than se, anuchit karm se tatha nidinh‍t purush se koee nishiddh vash‍tu lena cha‍hata hai, us vidvan ko usaka sadachar hi vaisa karane se rokata hai (at: apako to jnani aur dharmath‍ma hone ke karan sh‍vayan hi aise ninh‍dh karm se door rahana chahiye); parantu jo baranbar ath‍yanh‍t agrah karake kuth‍te ka maans grahan kar raha hai, usi ko isaka danh‍d bhi sahan karana chahiye (mera isamean koee dosh nahian hai).

vishvamitr ka maans ke tukade ko le jana

bhishh‍m ji kahate haian- yudhishthir! aisa kahakar chanh‍dal muni ko mana karane ke kary se nivrit ho gaya. vishvamitr to use lene ka nishh‍chay kar chuke the; at: kuth‍te ki jaangh le hi gaye. jivit rahane ki ichh‍chha vale un mahamuni ne kuth‍te ke sharir ke us ek bhag ko grahan kar liya aur use van mean le jakar path‍ni sahit khane ka vichar kiya. itane hi mean unake man mean yah vichar utha ki maian kuth‍te ki jaangh ke is maans ko vidhipoorvak pahale devataoan ko arpan karooanga aur unh‍hean santusht karake phir apani ichh‍chhanusar use khaooanga. aisa sochakar muni ne vedokh‍t vidhi se agni ki sh‍thapana karake inh‍dr aur agnidevata ke uddeshh‍y se sh‍vayan hi charoo pakakar taiyar kiya. bharatananh‍dan! phir unh‍honean devakarm aur pitrikarm aramh‍bh kiya. inh‍dr adi devataoan ka avahan karake unake liye kramash: vidhipoorvak prithak-prithak bhag arpit kiya.

isi samay inh‍dr ne samash‍t praja ko jivanadan dete hue b di bhari varsha ki aur anh‍n adi aushadhiyoan ko uth‍panh‍n kiya. bhagavan vishvamitr bhi dirghakal tak nirahar vrat evan tapash‍ya karake apane sare pap dagh‍dh kar chuke the; at: unh‍hean ath‍yanh‍t adabhut siddhi praph‍t huee. un dvijashreshth muni ne vah karm samaph‍t karake us havishh‍y ka ash‍vadan kiye bina hi devataoan aur pitaroan ko santusht kar diya aur unh‍hian ki kripa se pavitr bhojan praph‍t karake usake dvara jivan ki raksha ki. rajan! is prakar sankat mean p dakar jivan ki raksha chahane vale vidvan purush ko dinachit n hokar koee upay dhooandh nikalana chahiye aur sabhi upayoan se apane apaka apatakal mean paristhiti se uddhar karana chahiye. is buddhi ka sahara lekar sada jivit rahane ka prayath‍n karana chahiye; kyoanki jivit rahane vala purush punh‍y karane ka avasar pata aur kalh‍yan ka bhagi hota hai. at: kunh‍tinanh‍dan! apane man ko vash mean rakhane vale vidvan purush ko chahiye ki vah is jagat mean dharm aur adharm ka nirnay karane ke liye apani hi vishuddh buddhi ka ashray lekar yathayogh‍y bartav kare.
