भक्त श्रीपति

bhakt shripati badashah akabar ke darabari kavi the. par ve kabhi badashah ki prashansa mean koee kavita nahian karate the. unaka vishh‍vas sarvatha un param pita paramath‍ma par hi tha. ve har samay bhagavan ki asim kripa ka hi anubhav kiya karate the. at: ve sarvatha nidar ho chuke the.

darabar ke anh‍yanh‍y kavi sh‍varthavash badashah ke gunanuvad mean hi lage rahate the. mano bhagavan ki sath‍ta ko ve bhool hi gaye the. par badashah gunagrahi the. ve kabhi-kabhi bhakh‍tavar shripati ji ki kavita par prasanh‍n hokar unh‍hean purash‍kar de diya karate the. isase anh‍y kavi log shripati ji se jalate the tatha unh‍hean nicha dikhane ki sochate rahate the.

ek bar sab ne milakar bhakh‍tavar shripati ji ko nicha dikhane ki ek yukti soch nikali. badashah akabar ka darabar ho raha tha. badashah ke samane sab kaviyoan ne, keval bhakh‍tavar shripati ji ko chho dakar, yah prash‍tav rakha ki agami din sab kavi naye-naye chhanh‍d sunayean aur prath‍yek ki antim pankti mean antim vakh‍y rahe- karau mili as akabh‍bar ki. sab ne sh‍vikar kiya. doosare din darabar mean logoan ki b di bhi d thi. sabhi darabariyoan ki drishti bhakh‍tavar shripati ji par hi thi. par bhakh‍tavar apane prabhu ke ananh‍d mean magh‍n the. unh‍hean kisi bhi bat ka bhay nahian tha. sada ki bhaanti ve apane sh‍than par nishchinh‍t baithe the tatha ni:sankoch apane prabhu ko sh‍maran kar rahe the.

sab kaviyoan ne badashah ki prashansa mean apani-apani kavitaean sunayian. tath‍pashh‍chat bhakh‍tavar shripati ji ki bari ayi. logoan ne soch rakha tha ki aj shripati ko apana vrat to dana hi p dega. bhakh‍tavar shripati ji muskarate hue uthe aur unh‍hoanne nimh‍nalikhit sh‍varachit kavith‍t sunaya-

"ab ke sulataan phaniyan saman haian, baandhat pag atabh‍bar ki,
taji ek ko doosare ko jo bhajai, kati jibh girai va labh‍bar ki.
saranagat 'shripati' shripati ki, nahian tras hai kahuhi jabh‍bar ki,
jin ko hari ki kachhu as nahian, so karau mili as akabh‍bar ki.."

is kavith‍t ko sunate hi samash‍t darabariyoan ke mukh kamal ki tarah khil uthe. sh dayantrakariyoan ke mukhoan par vaise hi rukhaee chha gayi, jaise pani p dane par javase ka paudha sookh jata hai. badashah bahut prasanh‍n hue aur unh‍hoanne shripati ji ko inam dekar unaka samh‍man kiya.
