katha

soory bhagavan ki stri ka nam 'sanjna devi' tha. inaki do santanean, putr yamaraj tatha kanya yamuna thi. sanjna devi pati soory ki uddipt kiranoan ko n sah sakane ke karan uttari dhruv pradesh mean chhaya ban kar rahane lagian. usi chhaya se tapti nadi tatha shanichar ka janm hua. idhar chhaya ka yam tatha yamuna se vimata sa vyavahar hone laga. isase khinn hokar yam ne apani ek nee nagari yamapuri basaee, yamapuri mean papiyoan ko dand dene ka kary sampadit karate bhaee ko dekhakar yamuna ji go lok chali aeean, jo ki krishnavatar ke samay bhi thi. yamuna apane bhaee yamaraj se b da sneh karati thian. vah usase barabar nivedan karati ki vah usake ghar akar bhojan karean. lekin yamaraj apane kam mean vyast rahane ke karan yamuna ki bat ko tal jate the. bahut samay vyatit ho jane par ek din sahasa yam ko apani bahan ki yad aee. unhoanne dootoan ko bhejakar yamuna ki khoj karavaee, magar vah mil n sakian. phir yamaraj svayan hi golok ge jahaan vishram ghat par yamuna ji se bheant huee. bhaee ko dekhate hi yamuna ji ne harsh vibhor hokar unaka svagat satkar kiya tatha unhean bhojan karavaya. isase prasann ho yam ne var maangane ko kaha.

yamuna ne kaha, "he bheeya maian apase yah varadan maangana chahati hooan ki mere jal mean snan karane vale nar-nari yamapuri n jaean."

prashn b da kathin tha, yam ke aisa var dene se yamapuri ka astitv hi samapt ho jata. bhaee ko asamanjas mean dekh kar yamuna bolian- "ap chianta n karean mujhe yah varadan dean ki jo log aj ke din bahan ke yahaan bhojan karake, is mathura nagari sthit vishram ghat par snan karean, ve tumhare lok ko n jaean. ise yamaraj ne svikar kar liya. unhoanne bahan yamuna ko ashvasan diya- "is tithi ko jo sajjan apani bahan ke ghar bhojan nahian kareange, unhean maian baandh kar yamapuri le jaooanga aur tumhare jal mean snan karane valoan ko svarg prapt hoga." tabhi se yah tyohar manaya jata hai.
