jarasandh ka vadh karane ke pashchath shrikrishn, arjun aur bhim indraprasth laut aye. vapas akar unhoanne dharmaraj yudhishthir se sara vrittaant kaha, jise sunakar ve atyant prasann hue. tatpashchath dharmaraj yudhishthir ne rajasooy yajn ki taiyari shuroo karava di. us yajn ke rritij achary hota the.
yajn ko saphal banane ke liye vahaan par bharatavarsh ke samast b de-b de rrishi maharshi- bhagavan ved vyas, bharadvaj, sunattu, gautam, asit, vashishth, chyavan, kandav, maitrey, kavash, jit, vishvamitr, vamadev, sumati, jaimin, kratu, pail, parashar, garg, vaishampayan, atharva, kashyap, dhaumy, parashuram, shukrachary, asuri, vitahotr, madhudvanda, virasen, akritabran adi upasthit the. sabhi deshoan ke rajadhiraj bhi vahaan padhare.
rritijoan ne shastr vidhi se yajn-bhoomi ko sone ke hal se jutavakar dharmaraj yudhishthir ko diksha di. dharmaraj yudhishthir ne somalata ka ras nikalane ke samay yajn ki bhool-chook dekhane vale sadpatiyoan ki vidhivat pooja ki. ab samast sabhasadoan mean is vishay par vichar hone laga ki sabase pahale kis devata ki pooja ki jae. tab sahadev uthakar bole-
“shrikrishn devan ke dev, unhian ko sab se age lev.
brahma shankar poojat jinako, pahili pooja dijai unako.
akshar brahm krishn yaduraee, vedan mean mahima tin gaee.
agr tilak yadupati ko dijai, sab mili poojan unako kijai.”
paramajnani sahadev ke vachan sunakar sabhi satpurushoan ne sadhu! sadhu! kah kar pukara. bhishm pitamah ne svayan anumodan karate huye sahadev ke kathan ki prashansa ki. tab dharmaraj yudhishthir ne shastrokt vidhi se bhagavan shrikrishn ka poojan arambh kiya. chediraj shishupal apane asan par baitha hua yah sab drishy dekh raha tha. sahadev ke dvara prastavit tatha bhishm ke dvara samarthit shrikrishn ki agrapooja ko vah sahan n kar saka aur usaka hriday krodh se bhar utha. vah uthakar kh da ho gaya aur bola- “he sabhasadoan! mujhe aisa pratit ho raha hai ki kalavash sabhi ki mati mari gee hai. kya is balak sahadev se adhik buddhiman vyakti is sabha mean nahian hai, jo is balak ki haan mean haan milakar ayogy vyakti ki pooja svikar kar li gee hai? kya is krishn se ayu, bal tatha buddhi mean koee bhi b da nahian hai? b de-b de trikaladarshi rrishi-maharshi yaha padhare huye haian. b de-b de raja-maharaja yahaan par upasthit haian. kya is gay charane val gvale ke saman koee aur yahaan nahian hai? kya kaua havishyann le sakata hai? kya gid d sianh ka bhag prapt kar sakata hai? n isaka koee kul hai n jati, n hi isaka koee varn hai. raja yayati ke shap ke karan rajavanshiyoan ne is yaduvansh ko vaise hi bahishkrit kar rakha hai. yah jarasandh ke dar se mathura tyagakar samudr mean ja chhipa tha. bhala yah kis prakar agrapooja pane ka adhikari hai?"
is prakar shishupal jagat ke svami shrikrishn ko gali dene laga. usake in katu vachanoan ki ninda karate hue arjun aur bhimasen anek rajaoan ke sath use marane ke liye udyat ho gaye, kintu shrikrishnachandr ne un sabhi ko rok diya. shrikrishn ke anek bhakt sabha chho dakar chale gaye, kyoanki ve shrikrishn ki ninda nahian sun sakate the.
jab shishupal shrikrishn ko ek sau gali de chuka, tab shrikrishn ne garaj kar kaha- “bas shishupal! ab mere vishay mean tere mukh se ek bhi apashabd nikala to tere pran nahian bacheange. maianne tere ek sau apashabdoan ko kshama karane ki pratijna ki thi, isilie ab tak tere pran bache rahe.” shrikrishn ke in vachanoan ko sunakar sabha mean upasthit shishupal ke sare samarthak bhay se tharra gaye, kintu shishupal ka vinash samip tha. atah usane kal ke vash hokar apani talavar nikalate hue shrikrishn ko phir se gali di. shishupal ke mukh se apashabd ke nikalate hi shrikrishn ne apana sudarshan chakr chala diya aur palak jhapakate hi shishupal ka sir katakar gir gaya. usake sharir se ek jyoti nikalakar bhagavan shrikrishnachandr ke bhitar sama gee aur vah papi shishupal, jo tin janmoan se bhagavan se bair bhav rakhata a raha tha, paramagati ko prapt ho gaya. yah bhagavan vishnu ka vahi dvarapal tha, jise sanakadi muniyoan ne shap diya tha. ve jay aur vijay apane pahale janm mean hiranyakashyapu aur hiranyaksh, doosare janm mean ravan aur kumbhakarn tatha aantim tisare janm mean kans aur shishupal bane evan shrikrishn ke hathoan apani paramagati ko prapt hokar punah vishnulok laut ge.
shishupal ke vadh ke uparaant paandavoan ka rajasooy yajn poora hua. par is yajn tatha paandavoan ki badhati shakti ko dekhakar unake pratidvandvi kauravoan ke man mean vidvesh ki agni prajjavalit ho uthi aur ve paandavoan ko nicha dikhane ka upay sochane lage.
shrimadbhagavat mahapuran ka ullekh
'shrimadbhagavat mahapuran'[1] ke anusar- shrishukadevaji kahate haian- "parikshit! apane asan par baitha hua shishupal yah sab dekh-sun raha tha. bhagavan shrikrishn ke gun sunakar use krodh ho aya aur vah uthakar kh da ho gaya. vah bhari sabha mean hath uthakar b di asahishnuta kintu nirbhayata ke sath bhagavan ko suna-suna kar atyant kathor batean kahane laga-
"sabhasadoan! shrutiyoan ka yah kahana sarvatha saty hai ki kal hi eeshvar hai. lakh cheshta karane par bhi vah apana kam kara hi leta hai, isaka pratyaksh praman hamane dekh liya ki yahaan bachchoan aur moorkhoan ki bat se b de-b de vayovriddh aur jnanavriddhoan ki buddhi bhi chakara gayi hai. par maian manata hooan ki ap log agrapooja ke yogy patr ka nirnay karane mean sarvatha samarth haian. isaliye sadasaspatiyoan! ap log balak sahadev ki yah bat thik n manean ki ‘krishn hi agrapooja ke yogy haian.' yahaan b de-b de tapasvi, vidvan, vratadhari, jnan ke dvara apane samast pap-tapoan ko shant karane vale, param jnani paramarshi, brahmanishth adi upasthit haian, jinaki pooja b de-b de lokapal bhi karate haian. yajn ki bhool-chook batalane vale un sadasaspatiyoan ko chho dakar yah kulakalank gvala bhala, agrapooja ka adhikari kaise ho sakata hai? kya kaua kabhi yajn ke purodash ka adhikari ho sakata hai? n isaka koee varn hai aur n to ashram. kul bhi isaka ooancha nahian hai. sare dharmoan se yah bahar hai. ved aur lokamaryadaoan ka ullanghan karake manamana acharan karata hai. isamean koee gun bhi nahian hai. aisi sthiti mean yah agrapooja patr kaise ho sakata hai? ap log janate haian ki raja yayati ne isake vansh ko shap de rakha hai. isaliye satpurushoan ne is vansh ka hi bahishkar kar diya hai. ye sarvada vyarth madhupan mean asakt rahate haian. phir ye agrapooja ke yogy kaise ho sakate haian? in sabane brahmarshiyoan ke dvara sevit mathura adi deshoan ka parityag kar diya aur brahmavarchas ke virodhi[2] samudr mean kila banakar rahane lage. vahaan se jab ye bahar nikalate haian to dakuoan ki tarah sari praja ko satate haian.'
parikshit! sach poochho to shishupal ka sara shubh nasht ho chuka tha. isi se usane aur bhi bahut-si k di-k di batean bhagavan shrikrishn ko sunayian. parantu jaise sianh kabhi siyar ki ‘huaan-huaan’ par dhyan nahian deta, vaise hi bhagavan shrikrishn chup rahe, unhoanne usaki batoan ka kuchh bhi uttar n diya. parantu sabhasadoan ke liye bhagavan ki ninda sunana asahy tha. usamean se kee apane-apane kan band karake krodh se shishupal ko gali dete hue bahar chale gaye. parikshit! jo bhagavan ki ya bhagavatparayan bhaktoan ki sunakar vahaan se hat nahian jata, vah shubhakarmoan se chyut ho jata hai aur usaki adhogati hoti hai.
parikshit! ab shishupal ko mar dalane ke liye pandav, matsy, kekay aur srianjayavanshi narapati krodhit hokar hathoan mean hathiyar le uth kh de hue. parantu shishupal ko isase koee ghab dahat n huee. usane bina kisi prakar ka aga-pichha soche apani dhal-talavar utha li aur vah bhari sabha mean shrikrishn ke pakshapati rajaoan ko lalakarane laga. un logoan ko l date-jhag date dekh bhagavan shrikrishn uth kh de hue. unhoanne apane pakshapati rajaoan ko shant kiya aur svayan krodh karake apane oopar jhapatate hue shishupal ka sir chhure ke saman tikhi dharavale sudarshan chakr se kat liya. shishupal ke mare jane par vahaan b da kolahal mach gaya. usake anuyayi narapati apane-apane pran bachane ke liye vahaan se bhag kh de hue. jaise akash se gira hua look dharati mean sama jata hai, vaise hi sab praniyoan ke dekhate-dekhate shishupal ke sharir se ek jyoti nikalakar bhagavan shrikrishn mean sama gayi.
parikshit! shishupal ke antahkaran mean lagatar tin janm se vair bhav ki abhivriddhi ho rahi thi aur is prakar, vairabhav se hi sahi, dhyan karate-karate vah tanmay ho gaya-parshad ho gaya. sach hai, mrityu ke bad hone vali gati mean bhav hi karan hai. shishupal ki sadgati hone ke bad chakravarti dharmaraj yudhishthir ne sadasyoan aur rritvijoan ko pushkal dakshina di tatha sabaka satkar karake vidhipoorvak yajnant-snan-avabhrith-snan kiya. parikshit! is prakar yogeshvar bhagavan shrikrishn ne dharmaraj yudhishthir ka rajasooy yajn poorn kiya aur apane sage-sambandhi aur suhridoan ki prarthana se kuchh mahinoan tak vahian rahe. isake bad raja yudhishthir ki ichchha n hone par bhi sarvashaktiman bhagavan shrikrishn ne unase anumati le li aur apani raniyoan tatha mantriyoan ke sath indraprasth se dvarakapuri ki yatra ki.
parikshit! maian yah upakhyan tumhean bahut vistar se[3] suna chuka hooan ki baikunthavasi jay aur vijay ko sanakadi rrishiyoan ke shap se bar-bar janm lena p da tha. maharaj yudhishthir rajasooy ka yajnant-snan karake brahman aur kshatriyoan ki sabha mean devaraj indr ke saman shobhayaman hone lage. raja yuddhishthir ne devata, manushy aur akashachariyoan ka yathayogy satkar kiya tatha ve bhagavan shrikrishn evan rajasooy yajn ki prashansa karate hue b de anand se apane-apane lokoan ko chale gaye. parikshit! sab to sukhi hue, parantu duryodhan se pandavoan ki yah ujjval rajyalakshmi ka utkarsh sahan n hua. kyoanki vah svabhav se hi papi, kalahapremi aur kurukul ka nash karane ke liye ek mahan rog tha. parikshit! jo purush bhagavan shrikrishn ki is lila- shishupal vadh, jarasandh vadh, bandi rajaoan ki mukti aur yajnanushthan ka kirtan karega, vah samast papoan se chhoot jayaga.
