mahabharat virat parv ke kichakavadh parv ke aantargat adhyay 22 mean bhimasen dvara kichak ke vadh ka varnan hua hai-

bhimasen aur kichak ka yuddh

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- rajan! jaise krodh mean bhara hua gandasthal se mad tapakate hue doosare hathi ko sooan d se pak d le, usi prakar roshayukt kichak ne sahasa jhapatakar donoan hathoan se bhimasen ko pak d liya. tab parakrami bhim ne bhi jhapatakar use pak da, kiantu balavanoan mean shreshth kichak ne balapoorvak unhean jhatak diya. us samay us yuddh mean un donoan balavanoan ki bhujaoan ki rag d se baans phatakane sa bhayanak shabd hone laga. phir jis prakar prachand aandhi vriksh ko jhakajhor dalati hai, usi prakar bhimasen kichak ko balapoorvak dhakke de dekar use nrityashala mean veg se ghumane lage. us yuddh mean balavan bhim ki pak d mean akar yadyapi kichak apana bal kho raha tha, tathapi vah yathashakti unhean parast karane ki cheshta karata raha aur bhimasen ko apani or khianchane laga. jab ve kuchh-kuchh vash mean a gaye aur unaka pair kuchh l dakh dane lage, tab us dasha mean kh de hue bhimasen ko balavan kichak ne krodhapoorvak donoan ghutanoan se marakar prithvi par gira diya. atyant balashali kichak dvara is prakar bhoomi par giraye hue bhimasen hathoan mean dand dharan karane vale yamaraj ki bhaanti b de veg se uchhalakar kh de ho gaye. sootaputr aur pandoonandan donoan bal se unmatt ho rahe the. ve donoan balavan vir spardha ke karan us nirjan sthan mean adhi rat ke samay ek doosare ko khianchate aur dhakke dete rahe.. isase vah vishal bhavan bar-bar hil uthata tha. donoan yoddha b de krodh mean bharakar ek doosare ke samane jor-jor se garaj rahe the.

itane mean hi bhim ne donoan hatheliyoan se balavan kichak ki chhati par prahar kiya. chot khakar balavan kichak krodh se jal utha, kiantu apane sthal se ek pag bhi vichalit nahian hua. bhoomi par kh de rahakar do gh di tak us duahsah veg ko sah lene ke pashchat bhimasen ke bal se pi dit ho sootaputr kichak apani shakti kho baitha. mahabali bhim ne use nirbal evan achet hote dekh usaki chhati par chadh baithe aur b de veg se use rauandane lage. vijayi viroan mean shreshth bhimasen ka krodhavesh abhi utara nahian tha. unhoanne punah baranbar uchchhvas lekar kichak ke kesh pak d liye. jaise kachche maans ki abhilasha rakhane vala sianh mahan mrig ko pak d le, usi prakar mahabali bhim kichak ko pak d kar b di shobha pa rahe the. tadanantar use atyant thaka janakar bhim ne apani bhujaoan me is prakar kas liya, jaise pashu ko rassi se baandh diya gaya ho. ab vah phoote nagare ke saman vikrit svar mean jor-jor se sianhanad karane tatha bandhan se chhootane ke liye chhatapatane laga. usaki chetana lupt ho rahi thi. usi dasha mean bhimasen ne bahut der tak ghumaya. phir draupadi ka krodh shant karane ke liye unhoanne donoan hathoan se usaka gala pak dakar b de veg se dabaya. is prakar jab usake sab aang bhang ho gaye, aankh ki putaliyaan bahar nikal ayian aur vastr phat gaye, tab unhoanne us kichakadham ki kamar ko apane ghutanoan se dabakar donoan bhujaoan dvara usaka gala ghoant diya aur use pashu ki tarah marane lage. mrityu ke samay kichak ko vivad karate dekh pandunandan bhim ne use dharati par ghasita aur is prakar kaha- ‘jo sairandhri ke liye kantak tha, jisane mere bhaee ki patni ka apaharan karane ki cheshta ki thi, us dusht kichak ko marakar aj maian urrin ho jaooanga aur mujhe b di shanti milegi. purushoan mean utkrisht vir bhimasen ke netr krodh se lal ho rahe the.

bhimasen dvara kichak ka vadh

unhoanne upayukt batean kahakar kichak ko niche dal diya. us samay usake gahane kap de idhar udhar bikhar gaye the. vah chhatapata raha tha. usaki aankhean oopar ko chadh gayi thian aur usake pran pakheroo nikal rahe the. balavanoan mean shreshth bhim ab bhi krodh mean bhare the. ve hath se hath malate hue daantoan se oth dabakar punah balapoorvak kichak ke oopar chadh gaye. tadanantar jaise mahadev ji ne gayasur ke sab aangoan ko usake sharir ke bhitar ghuse d diya tha, usi prakar unhoanne bhi kichak ke hath, pair, sianr aur gardan adi sab aangoan ko usake dh d mean hi ghusa diya. mahabali bhim ne usaka sara sharir math dala aur use maans ka loanda bana diya. isake bad unhoanne draupadi ka dikhaya. us samay mahatejasvi bhim ne yuvatiyoan mean shreshth draupadi se kaha! ‘panchali! yahaan aoan aur ise dekho. is kami ki shakl kaisi bana di hai.’. maharaj! bhayankar parakrami bhim ne aisa kahakar us duratma ki lash ko pair se dabaya. phir vahaan ag jalakar unhoanne kichak ka shav dikhaya. us sooy viravar bhim ne panchali se yah bat kahi- ‘sundar keshoan vali bhiru panchali! tum sushil aur sadgunoan se sampann ho. jo dusht tum se samagam ki yachana kareange, ve isi prakar mare jayange. jaise aj kichak shobha pata hai, vahi dasha unaki bhi hogi’.

draupadi ko priy lagan vale is uttam evan dushkar karm ko karake oopar bataye anusar kichak ko marakar apana rosh shant karane ke pashchat draupadi se poochhakar bhimasen punah pakashala mean chale gaye. yuvatiyoan mean shreshth draupadi is prakar kichak ko maravakar b di prasann huee. usake sab santap door ho gaye.

draupadi ka sanvad

phir vah sabha bhavan ke rakshakoan ke pas jakar boli- ‘ao, dekho, ‘parayi stri ke prati kamonmatt rahane vala yah kichak mere pati gandharvoan dvara mara jakar vahaan nrityashala mean p da hai’. usaka yah kathan sunakar nrityashala ke rakshak sahasroan ki sankhya mean hathoan mean mashal liye sahasa vahaan aye aur us ghar ke bhitar jakar unhoanne dekha; kichak ko gandharv ne mar giraya hai, usake pran nikal gaye haian aur usaki lash khoon se lathapath hokar dharati par p di hai. use hath-pair se hin dekh un sabako b di vyatha huee. phir ve sabhi b de ashchary mean p dakar use dhyan se dekhane lage. kichak ko is tarah mara gaya dekh ve apas mean bole- ‘yah karm to kisi manushy ka kiya hua nahian ho sakata. dekho n, isaki gardan, hath, pair aur sir adi aang kahaan chale gaye ?’ yoan kahakar jab pariksha ki, to ve isi nishchay par pahuanche ki ho-n-ho, ise gandharv ne mara hai.
