shrimadbhagavat mahapuran ka ullekh
'shrimadbhagavat mahapuran'[2] ke anusar- shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! ab balaram aur shrikrishn ne paugand-avastha mean arthath chhathe varsh mean pravesh kiya tha. ab unhean gauean charane ki svikriti mil gayi. ve apane sakha gvalabaloan ke sath gauean charate hue vrindavan mean jate aur apane charanoan se vrindavan ko atyant pavan karate. yah van gauoan ek liye hari-hari ghas se yukt evan rang-birange pushpoan ki khan ho raha tha. age-age gauean, unake pichhe-pichhe baansuri bajate hue shyamasundar, tadanantar balaram aur phir shrikrishn ke yash ka gan karate hue gvalabal, is prakar vihar karane ke liye unhoanne us van mean pravesh kiya. us van mean kahian to bhaurean b di madhur guanjar kar rahe the, kahian jhuand-ke-jhuand hiran chauk di bhar rahe the aur kahian sundar-sundar pakshi chahak rahe the. b de hi sundar-sundar sarovar the, jinaka jal mahatmaoan ke hriday ke saman svachchh aur nirmal tha. unamean khile hue kamaloan ke saurabh se suvasit hokar shital-mand-sugandh vayu us van ki seva kar rahi thi. itana manohar tha vah van ki use dekhakar bhagavan ne man-hi-man usamean vihar karane ka sankalp kiya. purushottam bhagavan ne dekha ki b de-b de vriksh phal aur phooloan ke bhar se jhukakar apani daliyoan aur nootan koanpaloan ki lalima se unake charanoan ka sparsh kar rahe haian, tab unhoanne b de anand se kuchh musakate hue-se apane b de bhaee balaramaji se kaha.
bhagavan shrikrishn ne kaha- "devashiromane! yoan to b de-b de devata apake charanakamaloan ki pooja karate hai; parantu dekhiye to, ye vriksh bhi apani daliyoan se sundar pushp aur phaloan ki samagri lekar apake charanakamaloan mean jhuk rahe haian, namaskar kar rahean haian. kyoan n ho, inhoanne isi saubhagy ke liye tatha apana darshan evan shravan karane valoan ke ajnan ka nash karane ke liye hi to vrindavanadham mean vriksh-yoni grahan ki hai. inaka jivan dhany hai. adipurush! yadyapi ap is vrindavan mean apane aishvaryaroop ko chhipakar balakoan ki-si lila kar rahean haian, phir bhi ap apake shreshth bhakt munigan apane ishtadev ko pahachanakar yahaan bhi prayah bhauroan ke roop mean apake bhuvan-pavan yash ka nirantar gan karate hue apake bhajan mean lage rahate haian. ve ek kshan ke liye bhi apako nahian chho dana chahate. bhaeeji! vastav mean ap hi stuti karane yogy haian. dekhiye, apako apane ghar aya dekh ye mor apake darshanoan se anandit hokar nach rahe haian. hiraniyaan mriganayani gopiyoan ke saman apani premabhari tirachhi chitavan se apake prati prem prakat kar rahi haian, apako prasann kar rahi haian. ye koyalean apani madhur kuhoo-kuhoo dhvani se apaka kitana sundar svagat kar rahi haian. ve vanavasi hone par bhi dhany haian. kyoanki satpurushoan ka svabhav hi aisa hota hai ki ve ghar aye atithi ko apani priy-se-priy vastu bheant kar deante haian. aj yahaan ki bhoomi apani hari-hari ghas ke sath apake charanoan ka sparsh prapt karake dhany ho rahi hai. yahaan ke vriksh, lataean aur jha diyaan apaki aanguliyoan ka sparsh pakar apana ahobhagy man rahi haian. apaki daya bhari chitavan se nadi, parvat, pashu, pakshi-sab kritarth ho rahe haian aur braj ki gopiyaan apake vakshahsthal ka sparsh prapt karake, jisake liye svayan lakshmi bhi lalayit rahati haian, dhany-dhany ho rahi haian."
shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! is prakar param sundar vrindavan ko dekhakar bhagavan shrikrishn bahut hi anandit hue. ve apane sakha gvalabaloan ke sath govardhan ki taraee mean, yamuna ke tat par gauoan ko charate hue anekoan prakar ki lilayean karane lage.
balaramaji aur shrikrishn ke sakhaoan mean ek pradhan gop-balak the 'shridama'. ek din unhoanne tatha subal aur stokakrishn (chhote krishn) adi gvalabaloan ne shyam aur ram se b de prem ke sath kaha- "ham logoan ko sarvada sukh pahuanchane vale balaramaji! apake bahubal ki to koee thah hi nahian hai. hamare manamohan shrikrishn! dushtoan ko nasht kar dalana to tumhara svabhav hi hai. yahaan se tho di hi door par ek b da bhari van hai. bas, usamean paant-ke-paant ta d ke vriksh bhare p de haian. vahaan bahut-se ta d ke phal pak-pakakar girate rahate haian aur bahut-se pahale ke gire hue bhi haian. parantu vahaan dhenuk nam ka ek dusht daity rahata hai. usane un phaloan par rok laga rakhi hai.
balaramaji aur bhaiya shrikrishn! vah daity gadhe ke roop mean rahata hai. vah svayan to b da balavan hai hi, usake sathi aur bhi bahut-se usi ke saman balavan daity usi roop mean rahate haian. mere shatrughati bhaiya! us daity ne ab tak n jane kitane manushy kha dale haian! yahi karan hai ki usake dar ke mare manushy usaka sevan nahian karate aur pashu-pakshi bhi us jangal mean nahian jate. usake phal haian to b de sugandhit, parantu hamane kabhi nahian khaye. dekho n, charoan or unhian ki mand-mand sugandh fail rahi hai. tanik-sa dhyan dene se usaka ras milane lagata hai. shrikrishn! unaki sugandh se hamara man mohit ho gaya hai aur unhean pane ke liye machal raha hai. tum hamean ve phal avashy khilao. daoo dada! hamean un phaloan ki b di utkat abhilasha hai. apako ruche to vahaan avashy chaliye."
apane sakha gvalabaloan ki yah bat sunakar bhagavan shrikrishn aur balaram donoan hanse aur phir unhean prasann karane ke liye unake sath talavan ke liye chal p de. us van mean pahuanchakar balaramaji ne apani baanhoan se un ta d ke pe doan ko pak d liya aur matavale hathi ke bachche ke saman unhean b de jor se hilakar bahut-se phal niche gira diye. jab gadhe ke roop mean rahane vale daity ne phaloan ke girane ka shabd suna, tab vah parvatoan ke sath sari prithvi ko kanpata hua unaki or dau da. vah b da balavan tha. usane b de veg se balaramaji ke samane akar apane pichhale pairoan se unaki chhati mean dulatti mari aur isake bad vah dusht b de jor se reankata hua vahaan se hat gaya. rajan! vah gadha krodh mean bharakar phir reankata hua doosari bar balaramaji ke pas pahuancha aur unaki or pith karake phir b de krodh mean apane pichhale pairoan ki dulatti chalayi. balaramaji ne apane ek hi hath se usake donoan pair pak d liye aur use akash mean ghumakar ek ta d ke pe d par de mara. ghumate samay us gadhe ke pran pakheroo u d gaye the.
usake girane ki chot se vah mahan ta d ka vriksh, jisaka oopari bhag bahut vishal tha, svayan to t dat dakar gir hi p da, sate hue doosare vriksh ko bhi usane to d dala. usane tisare ko, tisare ne chauthe ko-is prakar ek-doosare ko girate hue bahut-se talavriksh gir p de. balaramaji ke liye to yah ek khel tha. parantu unake dvara pheanke hue gadhe ke sharir se chot kha-khakar vahaan sab-ke-sab ta d hil gaye. aisa jan p da, mano sabako jhanjhavat ne jhakajhor diya ho. bhagavan balaram svayan jagadishvar haian. unamean yah sara sansar thik vaise hi ot-prot hai, jaise sootoan mean vastr. tab bhala, unake liye yah kaun ashchary ki bat hai. us samay dhenukasur ke bhaee-bandhu apane bhaee ke mare jane se krodh ke mare agababoola ho gaye. sab-ke-sab gadhe balaramaji aur shrikrishn par b de veg se toot p de. rajan! unamean se jo-jo pas aya, usi-usi ko balaramaji aur shrikrishn ne khel-khel mean hi pichhale pair pak dakar talavrikshoan par de mara.
us samay vah bhoomi ta d ke phaloan se pat gayi aur toote hue vriksh tatha daityoan ke pranahin shariroan se bhar gayi. jaise badaloan se akash dhak gaya ho, us bhoomi ki vaisi hi shobha hone lagi. balaramaji aur shrikrishn ki yah mangalamayi lila dekhakar devatagan un par phool barasane lage aur baje baja-bajakar stuti karane lage. jis din dhenukasur mara, usi din se log nidar hokar us van ke talaphal khane lage tatha pashu bhi svachchhandata ke sath ghas charane lage.
isake bad kamaladal lochan bhagavan shrikrishn b de bhaee balaramaji ke sath braj mean aye. us samay unake sathi gvalabal unake pichhe-pichhe chalate hue unaki stuti karate jate the. kyoan n ho; bhagavan ki lilaoan ka shravan-kirtan hi sabase badhakar pavitr jo hai. us samay shrikrishn ki ghuangharali alakoan par gauoan ke khuroan se u d-u dakar dhooli p di huee thi, sir par morapankh ka mukut tha aur baloan mean sundar-sundar jangali pushp guanthe hue the. unake netroan mean madhur chitavan aur mukh par manohar muskan thi. ve madhur-madhur baansuri baja rahe the aur sathi gvalabal unaki lalit kirti ka gan kar rahe the. vanshi ki dhvani sunakar bahut-si gopiyaan ek sath hi braj se bahar nikal ayian. unaki aankhean n jane kab se shrikrishn ke darshan ke liye taras rahi thian. gopiyoan ne apane netraroop bhramaroan se bhagavan ke mukharavind ka makarand-ras pan karake din-bhar ke virah ki jalan shant ki aur bhagavan ne bhi unaki lajabhari hansi tatha vinay se yukt prem bhari tirachhi chitavan ka satkar svikar karake braj mean pravesh kiya. udhar yashoda maiya aur rohini ka hriday vatsaly sneh se um d raha tha. unhoanne shyam aur ram ke ghar pahuanchate hi unaki ichchha ke anusar tatha samay ke anuroop pahale se hi soch-sanjokar rakhi huee vastuean unhean khilayian-pilayian aur pahanayian. mataoan ne tel-ubatan adi lagakar snan karaya. isase unaki dinabhar ghoomane-phirane ki marg ki thakan door ho gayi. phir unhoanne sundar vastr pahanakar divy pushpoan ki mala pahanayi tatha chandan lagaya tatpashchath donoan bhaiyoan ne mataoan ka parosa hua svadisht ann bhojan kiya. usake bad b de la d-pyar se dular-dular kar yashoda aur rohini ne unhean sundar shayya par sulaya. shyam aur ram b de aram se so gaye.
