shribhatt bhagavan shrikrishn ke anany bhakt the. vikramiy sanvat ki solahavian sadi ke poorv vrindavan ki pavitr bhoomi madhur bhakti se poorn aph‍lavit thi. isi samay brajabhasha ke mahan kavi rasik shribhatt ne shriradha-krishn ki upasana se samaj ko saras aur navin bhakti-chetana se samalankrit kar sagun lila ka prachar kiya.

bhakti sadhana

shribhatt braj aur mathura ki hi sima mean rahane ko param sukh aur ananh‍d ka sadhan samajhate the. braj ki lataean, kuanj, sarita, haritima aur mohini chhavi ko ve pranoan se bhi priy manate the. ve keshav kashh‍miri ke anh‍tarang shishh‍y the. 'yugal shatak' ke nam se unh‍hoanne sau padoan ki rachana ki thi. ve bhagavan ki rasaroop-madhuri ki upasana mean rat-din talh‍lin rahate the. unaki bhavana param pavitr aur shuddh thi. usi ke anuroop unh‍hean samay-samay par bhagavan ki nayi-nayi lilaoan ke darshan hote rahate the. jab ve tanh‍may hokar pad gane lagate, tab kabhi-kabhi usi ke dhh‍yanaroop bhagavan ki divh‍y jhaanki ka sakshath‍kar ho jata tha.

ek bar shribhatt bhagavati kalindanandini ke param pavitr tat par vicharan kar rahe the. unh‍hoanne nirav aur nitanh‍t shanh‍t nikuanjoan ki or drishti dali. bhagavan ki lila-madhuri ka ras nayanoan mean um d aya. akash mean kali ghataean chha gayian. yamuna ki laharoan ka yauvan chanchal ho utha. vanshivat par nith‍y ras karane vale radharaman ki vanshish‍var-lahari ne unaki chith‍tavritti par poora-poora adhikar kar liya. ve nandanandan aur shriradharani ki rasamayi chhavi par sarvash‍v samarpan karane ke liye vikal ho uthe. sarash‍vati ne unake kanh‍thadesh mean karavat li. 'saras samir ki manh‍d-manh‍d gati' unaki divh‍y sangit-sudha se alodit ho uthi. rasik shribhatt ke pran bhagavan ke darshan ke lie lalayit the. ve gane lage-

"bhijat kab dekhauan in naina.
sh‍yamajoo ki surang choonari, mohan kau uparaina."

bhagavan ka darshan

bhagavan se virah-du:kh ab aur n saha gaya. unaki ichh‍chhapoorti ke liye ve shriraseshh‍vari ji ke sahit prakat ho gaye. shribhatt ne dekha ki kuanj mean kadamh‍b ke niche koti-kanh‍darp lavanh‍yayukh‍t ras-vihari apani priyatama radharani ke kanh‍dhadesh par komal kar-sh‍parsh ka saunh‍dary bikher rahe haian. yamuna ki sh‍vachh‍chh dharaean unake charan choomane ke liye kul ki maryada to d dena chahati haian, par baluka ki senaean unh‍hean vivash kar deti haian ki ve age n badhean. shribhatt ne apana jivan saphal mana. unh‍hoanne bhagavan ki divh‍y aur kripamayi jhaanki ko kavh‍yaroop dekar apane saubhagh‍y ki sarahana ki. rom-rom pulakit ho utha. malar rag ka bhagh‍y jag utha-

"sh‍yama sh‍yam kuanj tar thadhe, jatan kiyo kachhu maian na.
shribhat um di ghata chahuan disi tean ghiri aee jal sena.."

ras sahity ke marmajn

"basau mere nainani mean dou chand' ki kantimayi ichh‍chhapoorti hi unaki atul samh‍patti thi. bhagavan ka ras-roop hi bhavabanh‍dhan se nivrith‍t hone ka kalh‍yanamay vidhan tha. shribhatt ke padoan mean bhagavan ke ras-roop ka chinh‍tan adhikata se ho saka hai. unaki rasopasana aur bhakti-paddhati se prabhavit hokar anh‍y rasopasak aur kaviyoan ne shriradha-krishn ki nikuanj-lila-madhuri ke sh‍tavan aur gan se bhakti sahith‍y ki shrivriddhi mean jo yog diya hai, vah sarvatha sh‍tuth‍y hai. shribhatt ras-sahith‍y ke marmajn aur bhakt kavi the.
