sianhasan battisi pandrah
ek din raja vikramadity apani sabha mean baithe hue the. kahian se ek pandit aya. usane raja ko ek shlok sunaya. usaka bhav tha ki jab tak chaand aur sooraj haian, tab tak vidrohi aur vishvasaghati kasht payange. raja ne use ek lakh rupaye diye aur kaha ki isaka marm mujhe samajhao.
brahman ne kaha: maharaj! ek boodha ajnani raja tha. usake ek rani thi, jise vah bahut pyar karata tha. hamesha sath rakhata tha. darabar mean bhi use sath bithata tha. ek din usake divan ne kaha, maharaj! aisa karana achchha nahian hai. log hansate haian. achchha ho ki ap rani ka ek chitr banavakar samane rakh lean. raja ko yah salah pasand ayi. usane ek b de hoshiyar chitrakar ko bulavaya. vah chitrakar jyotish bhi janata tha. usane raja ke kahane par ek b da hi suandar chitr bana diya. raja ko vah bahut pasand aya. lekin jab usaki nigah taang par gee to vahaan ek til tha. raja ko b da gussa aya ki rani ka yah til isane kaise dekha.
usane usi samay chitrakar ko bulavaya aur jallad ko ajna di ki jangal mean le jakar usaki aankheanan nikal lao. jallad lekar chale. age jakar divan ne jalladoan ko roka aur kaha ki ise mujhe de do aur hiran ki aankheanan nikalakar raja ko de do. jalladoan ne aisa hi kiya. jab ve aankheanan lekar aya to raja ne kaha, "inhean nali mean pheank do."
udhar ek din raja ka beta jangal mean shikar khelane gaya. samane ek sher ko dekhakar vah dar ke mare pe d par chadh gaya. vahaan pahale se hi ek richh baitha tha. use dekhate hi usake pran sookh gaye.
richh ne kaha: tum ghabarao nahian. maian tumhean nahian, khaooanga, kyoanki tum meri sharan mean aye ho.
jab rat huee to richh bola: ham log do-do pahar jag kar pahara dean, tabhi is nahar se bach sakeange. pahale tum so lo.
rajakumar so gaya. richh chaukasi karane laga.
sher niche se bola: tum is adami ko niche pheank do. ham donoan kha leange. agar tumane aisa nahian kiya to jab is adami ki pahara dene ki bari ayagi, tab yah tera sir katakar gira dega.
richh ne kaha: raja ko marane mean, pe d ke katane mean, guru se jhooth bolane mean, aur jangal jalane mean b da pap lagata hai. usase zyada pap vidroh aur vishvasaghat karane mean lagata hai. maian aisa nahian karuanga.
adhi rat hone par rajakumar jaga aur richh sone laga. sher ne usase bhi vahi bat kahian.
vah bola: too isaka bharosa mat kar. savera hote hi yah tujhe kha jayaga.
rajakumar usaki batoan mean a gaya aur itane zor se pe d ko hilaya ki richh gir p da. itane mean richh ki aankheanan khul geean aur vah ek tahani se lipat gaya.
bola: too b da papi hai. maianne teri jan bachaee aur too mujhe marane ko taiyar ho gaya. ab maian tujhe kha jaooan to too kya kar lega!
rajakumar ke hath-paanv phool gaye. khair, savere sher to chala gaya aur idhar richh rajakumar ko gooanga-bahara banakar chalata bana.
rajakumar ghar lauta to usaki halat dekhakar raja ko b da du:kh hua. usane bahutera ilaj karaya, par koee fayada n hua.
tab ek din divan ne kaha: mere bete ki bahoo bahut hoshiyar hai.
raja ne kaha: bulao.
divan ke yahaan vah chitrakar chhipa hua tha. usane usaka stri ka bhes banavaya aur darabar mean laya. parde ki a d mean vah stri baithi.
usane rajakumar se kaha: meri bat suno. vibhishan b da shooravir tha, par daga karake ramachandr se ja mila aur rajy ka nashak hua. bhasmapur ne mahadev ki tapasya karake var paya, phir unhian ke sath vishvasaghat karake parvati ko lene ki ichchha ki, so bhasm ho gaya. he rajakumar! richh ne tumhare sath itana upakar kiya tha, par tumane use dhokha diya. par isamean dosh tumhara nahian hai, tumhare pita ka hai. jaisa bij boyega, vaisa hi phal hoga.
itani bat sunate hi rajakumar uth baitha. raja sab sun raha tha.
vah bola: richh ki bat tumhean kaise maloom huee?
usane kaha: rajanh! jab maian padhane jati thi to maianne apane guru ki b di seva ki thi. guru ne prasann hokar mujhe ek mantr diya. use maianne sadha. tab se sarasvati mere man mean basi haian. jis tarah rani ka til maianne pahachan kar banaya, vaise hi richh bat jan li.
yah sunakar raja sari bat samajh gaya. usane parda hatava diya. khush hokar chitrakar ko adha rajy dekar apana divan bana liya.
itana kahakar brahman bola: maharaj! mere shlok ka yah marm hai.
raja vikramadity ne prasann hokar hazar gaanv usake lie baandh diye.
putali boli: kyoan rajanh! hai tumamean itane gun?
raja b di pareshani mean p da divan ne kaha: maharaj! ap sianhasan par baitheange to ye putaliyaan ro-rokar mar jayangi. par raja n mana. agale din phir sianhasan ki or badha ki solahavian putali sundaravati bol uthi, "hai-hai, aisa mat karana. pahale meri bat suno.
