bhishm ka yudhishthir ko choohe aur bilav ki katha sunana

bhishh‍m ji ne kaha- bharatananh‍dan beta yudhishthir! tumh‍hara yah vish‍tarapoorvak poochhana bahut thik hai. yah sukh ki prapti karane vala hai. apatti ke samay kh‍ya karana chahiye? yah vishay gopaniy hone se sabako maloom nahian hai. tum yah sab rahash‍y mujhase suno. bhinh‍n-bhinh‍n karyoan ka aisa prabhav p data hai, jisake karan kabhi shatru bhi mitr ban jata hai aur kabhi mitr ka man bhi dveshabhav se dooshit ho jata hai. vash‍tav mean shatru-mitr ki paristhiti sada ek-si nahian rahati hai. at desh-kal ko samajhakar kartavh‍y-akartavh‍y ka nishh‍chay karake kisi par vishh‍vas aur kisi ke sath yuddh karana chahiye. bharat! kartavh‍y ka vichar karake sada hit chahane vale vidvanh mitroan ke sath sandhi karani chahiye aur avashh‍yakata p danean par shatruoan se bhi sandhi kar leni chahiye, kh‍yoki pranoan ki raksha sada hi kartavh‍y hai. bharat! jo moorkh manav shatruoan ke sath kabhi kisi bhi dasha mean sandhi nahian karata, vah apane kisi bhi uddeshh‍y ko siddh nahian kar sakata aur n koee phal hi pa sakata hai. jo sh‍varth siddhi ka avasar dekhakar shatru se to sandhi kar leta hai aur mitroan ke sath virodh badha़ leta hai, vah mahan phal praph‍t kar leta hai.

is vishay mean vidvan purush vat vriksh ke ashray mean rahane vale ek bilav aur choohe ke sanvad roop ek prachin kathanak ka drishtanh‍t diya karate haian. kisi mahan van mean ek vishal baragad ka vriksh tha, jo lata samoohoan se achh‍chhadit tatha bhaanti-bhaanti ke pakshiyoan se sushobhit tha. vah apani moti-moti daliyoan se hara-bhara hone ke karan megh ke saman dikhayi deta tha. usaki chhaya shital thi. vah manoram vriksh van ke samip hone ke karan bahut-se sarpoan tatha pashuoan ka ashray bana hua tha. usi ki j d mean sau daravajoan ka bil banakar palit namak ek param buddhiman chooha nivas karata tha. usi baragad ki dali par pahale lomash namaka ek bilav bhi b de sukh se rahata tha. pakshiyoan ka samooh hi usaka bhojan tha. usi van mean ek chanh‍dal bhi ghar banakar rahata tha. vah pratidin sayankal sooryash‍t ho jane par vahaan akar jal phaila deta aur usaki taant ki doriyoan ko yathash‍than laga ghar jakar mauj se sota tha; phir sabera hone par vahaan aya karata tha. rat ko us jal mean pratidin nana prakar ke pashu phans jate the. (unh‍hian ko lene ke liye vah sabere ata tha)

choohe ka bhay

ek din apani asavadhani ke karan poorvokh‍t bilav bhi us jal mean phans gaya. us mahan shaktishali aur nith‍y atatayi shatru ke phans jane par jab palit ko yah samachar maloom hua, tab vah us samay bil se bahar nikalakar sab or nirbhay vicharane laga. us van mean vishh‍vash‍t hokar vicharatean tatha ahar ki khoj karate hue us choohe ne bahut der ke bad vah maans dekha, jo jal par bikhera gaya tha. chooha us jal par chadhakar us maans ko khane laga. jal ke oopar maans khane mean laga hua vah chooha apane shatru ke oopar man-hi-man hans raha tha. itane hi mean kabhi usaki drishti doosari or ghoom gayi. phir to usane ek doosare bhayankar shatru ko vahaan aya hua dekha, jo sarakanh‍de ke phool ke saman bhoore rang ka tha. vah dharati mean vivar banakar usake bhitar soya karata tha. vah jati ka nh‍yaula tha. usaki aankhean taanbe ke saman dikhayi deti thian. vah chapal nevala harin ke nam se prasiddh tha aur usi choohe ki ganh‍dh pakar b di utavali ke sath vahaan a pahuancha tha. idhar to vah nevala apana ahar grahan karane ke lie jibh lapalapata hua oopar muanh kiye prithh‍vi par kh da tha aur doosari or baragad ki shakha par baitha hua doosara hi shatru dikhayi diya, jo vriksh ke khoankhale mean nivas karata tha. vah chanh‍drak nam se prasiddh ulh‍loo tha. usaki choanch b di tikhi thi. vah rat mean vicharane vala pakshi tha. nh‍yaule aur ulh‍loo-donoan ka lakshh‍y bane hue us choohe ko b da bhay hua. ab use is prakar chinh‍ta hone lagi- ‘aho! is kashtadayini vipati mean mrityu nikat akar kh di hai. charoan or se bhay uth‍panh‍n ho gaya hai. aisi avash‍tha mean apana hit chahane vale prani ko kis upay ka avalamh‍ban karana chahiye?’

is prakar sab or se usaka marg avaruddh ho gaya tha. sarvatr use bhay-hi-bhay dikhayi deta tha. us bhay se vah santapt ho utha. isake bad usane pun: shreshth buddhi ka ashray le sochana aramh‍bh kiya- ‘apati mean p dakar vinash ke samip pahuanche hue praniyoan ko bhi apane pranoan ki raksha ke lie prayath‍n to karana hi chahiye. aj sab or se pranoan ka sanshay upasthit hai; at yah mujh par b di bhari apatti a gayi hai. ‘yadi maian prithh‍vi par utarakar bhagata hooan to sahasa nevala mujhe pak dakar kha jaega. yadi yahian thahar jata hooan to ulh‍loo mujhe choanch se mar dalega aur yadi jal katakar bhitar ghusata hooan to bilav jivit nahian chhode़ga. ‘tathapi mujh-jaise buddhiman ko ghabarana nahian chahiye. at: jahaan tak yukti kam degi, parash‍par sahayog ka adan-pradan karake maian jivan-raksha ke liye prayath‍n karooanga. buddhiman, vidvan, aur nitishastr mean nipun purush bhari aur bhayankar vipatti mean p danean par bhi usamean doob nahian jata hai usase chhootane ki cheshta karata hai. ‘maian is samay is bilav ka sahara lene ke siva, apane liye doosara koee marg nahian dekhata. yadyapi yah mera kattar shatru hai, tathapi is samay sh‍vayan hi bhari sankat mean p da hua hai. mere dvara isaka bhi b da bhari kam nikal sakata hai. ‘idhar, maian bhi jivan ki raksha chahata hooan, tin-tin shatru mujh par ghat lagaye baithe haian;, at: kh‍yoan n aj maian apane shatru is bilav ka hi ashray looan? ‘aj nitishastr ka sahara lekar isake hit ka varnan karooanga; jisase buddhi ke dvara is shatrusamuday ko dhokha dekar bach jaooanga. ‘isamean sandeh nahian ki bilav mera mahan dushh‍man hai t‍thapi is samay mahan sankat mean hai. yadi samh‍bhav ho to is moorkh ko sangati ke dvara sh‍varth siddh karane ki bat par raji karooan. ‘ho sakata hai ki vipatti mean p da hone ke karan yah mere sath sandhi kar le.

choohe ka bilav se sandhi ke liye kahana

acharyoan ka kathan hai ki sankat a p dane par jivan ki raksha chahane vale balavan purush ko bhi apane nikatavarti shatru se mel kar lena chahiye. ‘vidvan shatru bhi achh‍chha hota hai kiantu moorkh mitr bhi achh‍chha nahian hota hai. mera jivan to aj mere shatru bilav ke hi adhin hai. ‘achh‍chha, ab maian ise ath‍maraksha ke liye ek yukti bata raha hooan. samh‍bhav hai, yah shatru is samay meri sangati se vidvan ho jay-vivek se kam le’. is prakar choohe ne shatru ki cheshta par vichar kiya. vah arthasiddhi ke upay ko yathartharoop se janane vala tatha sandhi aur vigrah ke avasar samajhane vala tha. usane bilav ko sanh‍th‍vana dete hue madhur vani mean kaha- ‘bhaiya bilav! maian tumh‍hare prati maitri ka bhav rakhakar batachit kar raha hooan. tum abhi jivit to ho n? maian chahata hooan ki tumh‍hara jivan surakshit rahe; kh‍yoanki isamean meri aur tumh‍hari donoan ki ek-si bhalaee hai. ‘saumh‍y! tumh‍hean darana nahian chahiye. tum ananh‍dapoorvak jivit rah sakoge. yadi mujhe mar dalane ki ichh‍chha th‍yag do to maian is sankat se tumh‍hara uddhar kar dooanga.

‘ek upay hai jisase tum is sankat se chhutakara pa sakate ho aur maian bhi kalh‍yan ka bhagi ho sakata hooan. yadyapi vah upay mujhe dushh‍kar pratit hota hai. ‘maianne apani buddhi se achh‍chhi tarah soch-vichar karake apane aur tumh‍hare liye ek upay dhooandh nikala hai, jisase ham donoan ki saman roop se bhalaee hogi. ‘marjar! dekho, ye nevala aur ulh‍loo donoan papabuddhi se yahaan thahare hue haian. meri or ghat lagaye baithe haian. jab tak ve mujh par akraman nahian karate, tabhi tak maian kushal se hooan. ‘yah chanchal netroan vala papi vriksh ki dali par baithakar ‘hoo hoo’ karata meri hi or ghoor raha hai. usase mujhe b da dar lagata hai. ‘sadhu purushoan mean to sat pag sath-sath chalane se hi mitrata ho jati hai. ham aur tum to yahaan sada se hi sath rahate hai, at: tum mere vidvan mitr ho. maian itane din sath rahane ka apana mitroanchitt dharm avashh‍y nibhaooanga, isaliye ab tumh‍hean koee bhay nahian hai. ‘marjar! tum meri sahayata ke bina apana yah banh‍dhan nahian kat sakate. yadi tum meri hiansa n karo to maian tumh‍hare ye sare banh‍dhan kat dalooanga. ‘tum is pe d ke ooanpar rahate ho aur maian isaki j d mean rahata hooan is prakar ham donoan chirakal se is vriksh ka ashray lekar rahate haian, yah bat to tumh‍hean jnat hi hai. ‘jis par koee bharosa nahian karata tatha jo doosare kisi par sh‍vayan bhi bharosa nahian karata, un donoan ki dhir purush koee prashansa nahian karate haian; kh‍yoanki unake man mean sada udveg bhara rahata haian. ‘at: ham logoan mean sada prem badhe़ tatha nith‍y prati hamari sangati bani rahe. jab kary ka samay bit jata hai, usake bad vidvan purush usaki prashansa nahian karate haian. ‘bilav! ham donoan ke prayojan ka jo yah sanyog a bana hai, use yathartharoop se suno. maian tumh‍hare jivan ki raksha chahata hooan aur tum mere jivan ki raksha chahate ho. ‘koee purush jab lak di ke sahare kisi gahari evan vishal nadi ko par karata hai, tab us lak di ko bhi kinare laga deta hai tatha vah lak di bhi use tarane mean sahayak hoti hai. ‘isi prakar ham donoan ka yah sanyog chirash‍thayi hoga. maian tumh‍hean vipatti se par kar dooanga aur tum mujhe apatti se bacha loge’. is prakar palit donoan ke liye hitakar yuktiyukh‍t aur manane yogh‍y bat kahakar uth‍tar milane ke avasar ki pratiksha karata hua bilav ki or dekhane laga.

bilav aur choohe ka sanvad

apane us shatru ka yah yuktiyukh‍t aur man lene yogh‍y sunh‍dar bhashan sunakar buddhiman bilav kuchh bolane ko uddhat hua. usaki buddhi achh‍chhi thi. vah bolane ki kala mean kushal tha. pahale to usane choohe ki bat ko man-hi-man duharaya; phir apani dasha par drishtipat karake usane samaniti se hi us choohe ki bhoori-bhoori prashansa ki. tadananh‍tar jisake age ke daant b de tikhe the aur donoan netr nilam ke saman chamak rahe the, us lomash namak bilavane choohe ki or kianchidh drishtipat karake is prakar kaha- ‘saumh‍y! maian tumh‍hara abhinanh‍dan karata hooan. tumh‍hara kalh‍yan ho, jo ki tum mujhe jivan pradan karana chahate ho. yadi hamare kalh‍yan ka upay janate ho to ise avashh‍y karo, koee anh‍yatha vichar man mean n lao. maian bhari vipatti mean phansa hooan aur tum bhi mahan sankat mean p de ho. is prakar apatti mean p de hue ham donoan ko sandhi kar leni chahiye. isamean vilamh‍b n ho. ‘prabho! samay ane par tumh‍hare abhisht ki siddhi karane vala jo bhi kary hoga, use avashh‍y karooanga. is sankat se mere mukh‍t ho jane par tumh‍hara kiya hua upakar nasht nahian hoga. maian isaka badala avashh‍y chukaooanga. ‘is samay mera man bhang ho chuka hai. maian tumh‍hara bhakh‍t aur shishh‍y ho gaya hooan. tumh‍hare hit ka sadhan karooanga aur sada tumh‍hari ajna ke adhin rahooanga. maian sab prakar se tumh‍hari sharan mean a gaya hooan.

bilav ke aisa kahane par apane prayojan ko samajhane-vale palit ne vash mean aye hue us bilav se yah abhiprayapoorn hitakar bat kahi- ‘bhaiya bilav! apane jo udaratapoorn vachan kaha hai, yah ap-jaise buddhiman ke liye ashh‍chary ki bat nahian hai. maianne donoan ke hit ke liye jo bat nirdharit ki, vah mujhase suno. ‘bhaiya!, is nevale se mujhe b da dar lag raha hai. isaliye maian tumh‍hare pichhe is jal mean pravesh kar jaooanga, parantu dada! tum mujhe mar n dalana, bacha lena; kh‍yoanki jivit rahane par hi maian tumh‍hari raksha karane mean samarth hooan. ‘idhar yah nich ulh‍loo bhi mere pran ka grahak bana hua hai. isase bhi tum mujhe bacha lo. sakhe! maian tumase sath‍y ki shapath khakar kahata hooan, maian tumh‍hare banh‍dhan kat dooanga.

choohe ki yah yuktiyukh‍t, susangat aur abhiprayapoorn bat sunakar lomash ne usaki or harsh bhari drishti se dekha tatha sh‍vagatapoorvak usaki bhoori-bhoori prashansa ki. is prakar palit ki prashansa evan pooja karake sauhard mean pratishthit hue dhir‍buddhi marjar ne bhalibhaanti soch-vicharakar turant hi prasanh‍natapoorvak kaha- ‘bhaiya! shighr ao! tumh‍hara kalh‍yan ho. tum to hamare pranoan ke saman priy sakha ho. vidvan! is samay mujhe pray: tumh‍hari hi kripa se jivan praph‍t hoga. ‘sakhe! is dasha mean p de huai mujh sevak ke dvara tumh‍hara jo-jo kary kiya ja sakata ho, usake liye mujhe ajna do, maian avashh‍y karooanga. ham donoan mean sandhi rahani chahiye. ‘is sankat se mukh‍t hone par maian apane sabhi mitroan aur banh‍dhu-banh‍dhavoan ke sath tumh‍hare sabhi priy evan hitakar kary karata rahooanga. ‘saumh‍y! is vipatti se chhutakara pane par maian bhi tumh‍hare hriday mean priti uth‍panh‍n karooanga. tum mera priy karane vale ho, at: tumh‍hara bhalibhaanti adar-sath‍kar karooanga. ‘koee ‍kisi ke upakar ka kitana hi adhik badala kh‍yoan n chuka dean; vah pratham upakar karane vale ke saman nahian shobha pata hai; kh‍yoanki ek to kisi ke upakar karane par badale mean usaka upakar karata hai; parantu doosare ne bina kisi karan ke hi usaki bhalaee ki hai.

ulloo aur nevala ka apane sthan par vapas jana

bhishh‍m ji kahate haian- yudhishthir! is prakar choohe ne bilav se apane matalab ki bat sh‍vikar karakar aur sh‍vayan bhi usaka vishh‍vas karake us aparadhi shatru ki bhi god mean ja baitha. bilav ne jab us vidvan choohe ko poorvokh‍taroop se ashh‍vasan diya, tab vah mata-pita ki god ke saman us bilav ki chhati par nirbhay hokar so gaya. choohe ko bilav ke aangoan mean chhipa hua dekh nevala aur ulh‍loo donoan nirash ho gaye. un donoan ko b de jor se auanghaee a rahi thi aur ve ath‍yanh‍t bhayabhit bhi ho gaye the. us samay choohe aur bilav ka vah vishesh prem dekhakar nevala aur ulh‍loo donoan ko b da ashh‍chary hua. yadyapi ve b de balavan, buddhiman, sunh‍dar bartav karane vale, kary kushal tatha nikatavarti the to bhi us sandhi ki niti se kam lene ke karan un choohe aur bilav par ve balapoorvak akraman karane mean samarth n ho sake. apane-apane prayojan ki siddhi ke lie choohe aur bilav ne apas mean sandhi kar li, yah dekhakar ulh‍loo aur nevala donoan tath‍kal apane nivas sh‍than ko laut gaye.

sankat mean p de choohe aur bilav ka vartalap

nareshh‍var! chooha desh-kal ki gati ko achh‍chhi tarah janata tha; isaliye vah bilav ke aangoan mean hi chhipa rahakar chanh‍dal ke ane ke samay ki pratiksha karata hua dhire-dhire jal ko katane laga. bilav us banh‍dhan se tang a gaya tha. usane dekha, chooha jal to kat raha hai; kiantu is kary mean phurti nahian dikha raha hai, tab vah utavala hokar banh‍dhan katane mean jalh‍di n karane vale palit namak choohe ko ukasata hua bola- ‘saumh‍y! tum jalh‍di kh‍yoan nahian karate ho? kh‍ya tumh‍hara kam ban gaya, isaliye meri avahelana karate ho? shatrusoodan! dekho, ab chanh‍dal a raha hoga. usake ane se pahale hi mere banh‍dhanoan ko kat doan’. utavale hue bilav ke aisa kahane par buddhiman palit ne apavitr vichar rakhane vale us marjar se apane liye hitakar aur labhadayak bat kahi- ‘saumh‍y chup raho, tumh‍hean jalh‍di nahian karani chahiye, ghabarane ki koee avashh‍yakata nahian hai. maian samay ko khoob pahachanata hooan, thik avasar ane par maian kabhi nahian chookooanga. ‘bemauke shuroo kiya hua kam karane vale ke liye labhadayak nahian hota hai aur vahi upayukh‍t samay par aramh‍bh kiya jay to mahan arth ka sadhak ho jata hai. ‘yadi asamay mean hi tum chhoot gaye to mujhe tumh‍hian se bhay praph‍t ho sakata hai, isaliye mere mitr! thodi der aur pratiksha karo; kh‍yoan itani jalh‍di macha rahe ho? ‘jab maian dekh looanga ki chanh‍dal hath mean hathiyar liye a raha hai, tab tumh‍hare oopar sadharan-sa bhay upasthit hone par maian shighr hi tumh‍hare banh‍dhan kat dalooanga. ‘us samay chhootate hi tum pahale pe d par hi chadho़ge. apane jivan ki raksha ke siva doosara koee kary tumh‍hean avashh‍yak nahian pratit hoga. ‘lomash ji jab ap tras aur bhay se akranh‍t ho bhag khade़ hoge, us samay maian bil mean ghus jaooanga aur ap vriksh ki shakha par ja baitheange’.

choohe ke aisa kahane par vani ke marm ko samajhane vala aur apane jivan ki raksha chahane vala param buddhiman bilav apane hit ki bat batata hua bola. lomash ko apana kam banane ki jalh‍di lagi huee thi; at: vah bhalibhaanti vinayapoorn bartav karata hua vilamh‍b karane vale choohe se is prakar kahane laga- ‘shreshth purush mitroan ke kary b de prem aur prasanh‍nata ke sath kiya karate haian; tumh‍hari tarah nahian. jaise maine tuanrat hi tumh‍hean sankat se chhu da liya tha. ‘isi prakar tumh‍he bhi jalh‍di hi mere hit ka kary karana chahiye. mahaprajn! tum aise prayath‍n karo, jisase ham donoan ki raksha ho sake. ‘athava yadi pahale ke vair ka sh‍maran karake tum yahaan vh‍yarth katana cha‍hate ho to papi! dekh lena, isaka kh‍ya phal hoga? nishh‍chay hi tumh‍hari ayu kshin ho chali hai. ‘yadi maianne ajnanavash pahale kabhi tumh‍hara koee aparadh kiya ho to tumh‍hean usako man mean nahian lana chahiye, maian kshama maangata hooan. tum mujh par prasanh‍n ho jao.

chooha b da vidvan tatha nitishastr ko janane vali buddhi se samh‍panh‍n tha. usane us samay is prakar kahane vale bilav se yah uth‍tam bat kahi- ‘bhaiya bilav! tumane apani sh‍varth siddhi par hi dhh‍yan rakhakar jo kuchh kaha hai, vah sab maianne sun liya tatha maianne bhi apane prayojan ko samane rakhate hue jo kuchh kaha hai, use tum bhi achh‍chhi tarah samajhate ho. ‘jo kisi dare hue prani dvara mitr banaya gaya ho tatha jo sh‍vayan bhi bhayabhit hokar hi usaka mitr bana ho-in donoan prakar ke mitroan ki hi raksha honi hi chahiye aur jaise bajigar sarp ke mukh se hath bachakar hi use khelata hai, usi prakar apani raksha karate hue hi unh‍hean ek doosare ka kary karana chahiye. ‘jo vh‍yakti balavan se sandhi karake apani raksha ka dhh‍yan nahian rakhata, usaka vah mel-jol khaye hue apathh‍y anh‍n ke saman hitakar nahian heata. ‘n to koee kisi ka mitr hai aur n koee kisi ko shatru. sh‍varth ko hi lekar mitr aur shatru ek doosare se bandhe hue haian. jaise palatoo hathiyoan dvara jangali hathi baandh liye jate hai, usi prakar artheaan dvara hi arth bandhate haian. ‘kam poora ho jane par koee bhi usake karane vale ko nahian dekhata-usake hit par nahian dhh‍yan deta; at: sabhi karyoan ka adhoore hi rakhana chahiye. ‘jab chanh‍dal a jayaga, us samay tum usi ke bhay se pi dit ho bhagane lag jaoge; phir mujhe pak d n sakoge. ‘maianne bahut se tantu kat dale haian, keval ek hi dori baki rakh chhodi़ hai. use bhi maian shighr hi kat dalooanga; at: lomash! tum shaannh‍t raho, ghabarao n’. is prakar sankat mean p de hue un donoan ke vartalap karate-karate hi vah rat bit gayi. ab lomash ke man mean b da bhari bhay sama gaya.

tadananh‍tar prat:kal parigh namak chanh‍dal hath mean hathiyar lekar ata dikhayi diya. usaki akriti b di vikaral thi. sharir ka rang kala aur pila tha. usaka nitamh‍b bhag bahut sh‍thool tha. kitane hi aang vikrit ho gaye the. vah sh‍vabhav ka rookha jan p data tha. kuttoan se ghira hua vah malin veshadhari chanh‍dal b da bhayankar dikhayi de raha tha, usaka muanh vishal tha aur kan divar mean g di huee khooantiyoan ke saman jan p date the. yamadoot ke saman chanh‍dal ko ate dekh bilav ka chitt bhay se vh‍yakul ho gaya. usane darate-darate yahi kaha- ‘bhaiya chooha! ab kh‍ya karoge?’ ek or ve donoan bhayabhit the. doosari or bhayanak praniyoan se ghira hua chanh‍dal a raha tha. un sabako dekhakar nevala aur ulh‍loo kshanabhar mean hi nirash ho gaye. ve donoan balavan aur buddhiman to the hi. choohe ke ghat mean pas hi baithe hue the; parantu achh‍chhi niti se sangathit ho jane karan choohe aur bilav par ve balapoorvak akraman n kar sake. choohe aur bilav ko karyavash sandhisootr mean bandhean dekh ulh‍loo aur nevala donoan apane-apane nivas sh‍than ko chale gaye.

bilav ka choohe ka apana mantri banane ke liye kahana

bilav ki aisi param shantipoorn batean sunakar uttam manh‍trana ke jnata choohe ne madhur vani mean apane liye hitakar vachan kaha- ‘lomash! tumane jo kuchh kaha, vah sab maianne dhh‍yan dekar suna. ab meri buddhi mean jo vichar sh‍phurit ho raha hai use batalata hooan, at: mere is kathan ko bhi sun lo. ‘mitroan ko janana chahiye, shatruoan ko bhi achh‍chhi tarah samajh lena chahiye- is jagat mean mitr aur shatru ki yah pahachan ath‍yanh‍t sookshh‍m tatha vijnajanoan ko abhimat hai. ‘avasar ane par kitane hi mitr shatru roop ho jate haian aur kitane hi shatru mitr ban jate haian. parash‍par sandhi kar lene ke pashh‍chat jab ve kam aur krodh ke adhin ho jate haian, tab yah samajhana asamh‍bhav ho jata hai ki ve mitr bhav se yukh‍t haian ya shatru bhav se? ‘n kabhi koee shatru hota hai aur n mitr hota hai. avashh‍yak shakti ke samh‍banh‍dh se log ek doosare ke mitr aur shatru hua karate haian. ‘jo jisake jite-ji apana sh‍varth sadhata dekhata hai aur jisake mar jane par apani hani manata hai, vah tab tak usaka mitr bana rahata hai, jab tak ki is sthiti mean koee ulat-pher nahian hota. ‘maitri koee sthir vash‍tu nahian hai aur shatruta ki sada sthit rahane vali chij nahian hai. sh‍varth ke samh‍banh‍dh se mitr aur shatru hote rahate haian. ‘kabhi-kabhi samay ke pher se mitr shatru ban jata hai aur shatru bhi mitr ban jata hai; kh‍yoanki sh‍varth bada़ balavan hota hai. ‘jo manushh‍y sh‍varth ke samh‍banh‍dh ka vichar kiye bina hi mitroan par keval vishh‍vas aur shatruoan par keval avishh‍vas karata jata hai tatha jo shatru ho ya mitr, jo sabake prati premabhav hi sh‍thapit karane lagata hai, usaki buddhi bhi chanchal hi samajhani chahiye. ‘jo vishh‍vasapatr n ho, us par kabhi vishh‍vas n kare aur jo vishh‍vasapatr ho, us par bhi adhik vishh‍vas n kare; kh‍yoanki vishh‍vas uth‍panh‍n hua bhay manushh‍y ka mulochh‍chhed kar dalata hai. ‘mata-pita, putr, mama, bhaanje, samh‍banh‍dhi tatha banh‍dhu-banh‍dhav-in sab mean sh‍varth ke samh‍banh‍dh se hi sh‍neh hota hai. ‘apana ph‍yara putr bhi yadi pati‍t ho jata hai to maan-bap use th‍yag dete haian aur sab log sada apani hi raksha karana chahate haian. at: dekh lo, is jagat mean sh‍varth hi sar hai’.

bilav dvara choohe ki stuti karana

palit ne jab is prakar sh‍pashh‍t roop se k di phatakar sunayi, tab bilav ne lajjit hokar pun: us choohe se is prakar kaha. lomash bola- bhaee! maian tumase sath‍y ki shapath khakar kahata hooan, mitr se droh karana to b di ghrinit bat hai. tum jo sada mere hit mean tath‍par rahate ho, ise maian tumh‍hari uth‍tam buddhi ka hi parinam s‍majhata hooan. shreshth purush! tumane to yatharth roop se niti-shastr ka sar hi bata diya. mujhase tumh‍hara vichar poora-poora milata hai. mitravar! kiantu tum mujhe galat n samajho. mera bhav tumase viparit nahian hai. tumane mujhe pranadan diya hai. isi se mujh par tumh‍hare sauhard ka prabhav p da. maian dharm ko janata hooan, gunoan ka moolh‍y samajhata hooan, visheshat: tumh‍hare prati kritajn hooan, mitravath‍sal hooan aur sabase b di bat yah hai ki maian tumh‍hara bhakh‍t ho gaya hooan; at: mere achh‍chhe mitr! tum phir mere sath aisa hi bartav karo-melajol badha़kar mere sath ghoomo-phiro. yadi tum kah do to maian banh‍dhu-banh‍dhavoan sahit tumh‍hare liye apane pran bhi th‍yag de sakata hooan. vidvanoan ne mujh-jaise manash‍vi purushoan par sada vishh‍vas hi kiya aur dekha hai. at: dharm ke tattv ko janane vale palit! tumh‍hean mujh par sandeh nahian karana chahiye.

bilav ke dvara is prakar ki sh‍tuti ki jane par bhi chooha apane man se gamh‍bhir bhav hi dharan kiye raha. usane marjar se pun: is prakar kaha- ‘bhaiya! tum vash‍tav mean b de sadhu ho. yah bat maianne tumh‍hare vishay mean sun rakhi hai. usase mujhe prasanh‍nata bhi hai; parantu maian tum par vishh‍vas nahian kar sakata. tum meri kitani hi sh‍tuti kh‍yoan n karo. mere liye kitani hi dhanarashi kh‍yoan n luta do; parantu ab maian tumh‍hare sath mil nahian sakata. sakhe! buddhiman evan vidvan purush bina kisi vishesh karan ke apane shatru ke vash mean nahian jate. ‘is vishay mean shukrachary nean do gathaean kahi haian. unh‍hean dhh‍yan dekar suno. jab apane aur shatru par ek-si vipatti ayi ho, tab nirbal ko sabal shatru ke sath mel karake b di savadhani aur yukti se apana kam nikalana chahiye aur jab kam ho jay, to phir use shatru par vishh‍vas nahian karana chahiye ( yah p‍hali gatha hai)’. ‘(doosari gatha yoan haian ) jo vishh‍vasapatr n ho, us par vishh‍vas n kare tatha jo vishh‍vasapatr ho, us par bhi adhik vishh‍vas n kare. apane prati sada doosaroan ka vishh‍vas uth‍panh‍n kare; kiantu sh‍vayan doosaroan ka vishh‍vas n karean. ‘isaliye sabhi avash‍thaoan mean apane jivan ki raksha kare; kh‍yoanki jivit rahane par purush ko dhan aur santan-sabhi mil jate haian.

choohe ka doosare bil mean jana

‘sankshep mean nitishastr ka sar yah hai ki kisi ka bhi vishh‍vas n karana hi uth‍tam mana gaya hai; isaliye doosare logoan par vishh‍vas n karane mean hi apana‍ vishesh hit hai. ‘jo vishh‍vas n karake savadhan rahate haian, ve durbal hone par bhi shatruoan dvara mare nahian jate. parantu jo un par vishh‍vas karate haian, ve balavan hone par bhi durbal shatruoan dvara mar dale jate haian. ‘bilav! tum jaise logoan se mujhe sada apani raksha karani chahiye aur tum bhi apane janh‍majat shatru chanh‍dal se apane ko bachaye rakho’. choohe ke is prakar kahate samay chanh‍dal ka nam sunate hi bilav bahut dar gaya aur vah dali chho dakar b de veg se turant doosari or chala gaya. tadananh‍tar nitishastr ke aur tattv ko janane vala buddhiman palit apane bauddhik shakti ka parichay de doosare bil mean chala gaya. is prakar durbal aur akela hone par bhi buddhiman palit choohe ne apane buddhi-bal se bahutere prabal shatruoan ko parash‍t kar diya; at: apatti ke samay vidvan purush balavan shatru ke sath bhi sandhi kar le.

bhishm dvara yudhishthir ko samajhana

dekhoan, choohe aur bilav donoan ek doosare ka ashray lekar vipatti se chhutakara pa gaye the. maharaj! is drishtanh‍t se maianne tumh‍hean vish‍tarapoorvak kshatr-dharm ka marg dikhaya hai. ab sankshep mean kuchh meri bat suno. choohe or bilav ek doosare se vair rakhane vale prani haian to bhi unh‍hoanne sankat ke samay ek doosare se uth‍tam priti kar li. unamean parash‍par sandhi kar lene ka vichar paida ho gaya. aise avasaroan par buddhiman purush uth‍tam buddhi ka ashray le sandhi karake shatru ko parash‍t kar deta hai. isi tarah vidvan purush bhi yadi asavadhan rahe to use doosare buddhiman purush parash‍t kar dete haian. isaliye manushh‍y bhayabhit hokar bhi nidar ke saman aur kisi par vishh‍vas n karate hue bhi vishh‍vas karane vale ke saman bartav kare, use kabhi asavadhan hokar nahian chalana chahiye. yadi chalata hai to nasht ho jata hai. nareshh‍var! samayanusar shatru ke sath bhi sandhi aur mitr ke sath bhi yuddh karana uchit hai. sandhi ke tattv ko janane-vale vidvan purush isi bat ko sada kahate haian. maharaj! aisa janakar nitishastr ke tath‍pary ko hridayangam karake udyogashil evan savadhan rahakar bhay ane se pahale bhayabhit ke saman acharan karana chahiye. balavan shatru ke samip dare hue ke saman upasthit hona chahiye. usi tarah usake sath sandhi bhi kar leni chahiye. savadhan purush ke udyogashil bane rahane se sh‍vayan hi sankat se bachane vali buddhi uth‍panh‍n hoti hai. rajan! jo purush bhay ane ke pahale se hi usaki or se sashank rahata hai, usake samane pray: bhay ka avasar hi nahian ata hai; parantu jo ni:shank hokar doosaroan par vishh‍vas kar leta hai, use sahasa b de bhari bhay ka samana karana p data hai. jo manushh‍y apane ko buddhiman manakar nirbhay vicharata hai, use kabhi koee salah nahian deni chahiye; kh‍yoanki vah doosare ki salah sunata hi nahian hai. bhay ko n janane ki apeksha use janane vala thik hai; kh‍yoanki vah usase bachane ke liye upay janane ki ichh‍chha se parinamadarshi purushoan ke pas jata hai.

isaliye buddhiman purush ko darate hue bhi nirbhay ke saman rahana chahiye tatha bhitar se vishh‍vas n karate hue bhi oopar se vishh‍vasi purush ki bhaanti bartav karana chahiye. karyoan ki kathinata dekhakar kabhi koee mithh‍ya acharan nahian karana chahiye. yudhishthir! is prakar yah maianne tumh‍hare samane niti ki bat batane ke liye choohe tatha bilav ke is prachin itihas ka varnan kiya hai. ise sunakar tum apane suhridoan ke bich mean yatha yogh‍y bartav karo. shreshth buddhi ka ashray lekar shatru aur mitr ke bhed, sandhi aur vigrah ke avasar ka tatha vipatti se chhootane ke upay ka jnan praph‍t karana chahiye. apane aur shatru ke prayojan yadi saman ho to balavan shatru ke sath s‍andhi karake usase milakar yuktipoorvak apana kam banave aur kary poora ho jane par phir kabhi usaka vishh‍vas n kare. prithh‍vinath! yah niti dharm, arth aur kam ke anukool hai. tum isaka ashray lo. mujhase sune hue is upadesh ke anusar kartavh‍yapalan mean tath‍par ho samh‍poorn praja ki raksha karate hue apani unh‍nati liye uthakar khade़ ho jao. panh‍dunanh‍dan! tumh‍hari jivan yatra brahmanoan ke sath honi chahiye. bharatananh‍dan! brahman log ihalok aur paralok mean bhi param kalh‍yanakari hote haian. prabho! nareshh‍var! ye brahman dharmajn hone ke sath hi sada kritajn hote haian. samh‍manit hone par shubhakarak evan shubhachinh‍tak hote haian; at: inaka sada adar-samh‍man karana chahiye. rajan! tum brahmanoan ke yathochit sath‍kar se kramash: rajh‍y, param kalh‍yan, yash, kirti tatha vansh paramh‍para ko banaye rakhane vali santati sab kuchh praph‍t kar loge. bharatananh‍dan! nareshh‍var! choohe aur bilav ka jo yah sunh‍dar upakhh‍yan kaha gaya hai, yah sandhi aur vigrah ka jnan tatha vishesh buddhi uth‍panh‍n karane vala hai. bhoopal ko sada isi ke anusar drishti rakhakar shatru manh‍dal ke sath yathochit vh‍yavahar karana chahiye.
