raja harishchandr dharmik, satyapriy tatha nyayi the. ek bar unhoanne striyoan ka arttanad suna. ve raksha ke lie pukar rahi thian. harishchandr ne unaki raksha ke nimitt pag padhaya to usake hriday mean vighnaraj (sanpoorn karyoan mean badha svaroop) ne pravesh kiya, kyoanki vah arttanad un vidhaoan ka hi tha, jinaka vishvamitr adhyayan karate the. maun aur atmasanyam se jin vidhaoan ko ve pahale siddh nahian kar paye the, vah nari-roop mean unake bhay se pi dit hokar ro rahi thian. rudrakumar vighnaraj ne unaki sahayata ke nimitt hi raja ke hriday mean pravesh kiya tha. harishchandr ne abhimanapoorvak kaha—'vah kaun papatma hai jo hamare rajy mean kisi ko sata raha hai?' vishvamitr ne usake abhiman se rusht hokar usase poochha—'dan kise dena chahie? kisaki raksha karani chahie aur kisase yuddh karana chahie?' raja ne tinoan prashnoan ke uttar kramash: ye diye:
- brahman athava ajivika vihin ko,
- bhayabhit prani ko
- shatru se.
vishvamitr ne brahman hone ke nate raja se usaka samast danasvaroop le liya. tadanantar use us rajy ki simaean chho dakar chale jane ko kaha aur yah bhi kaha ki ek mah ke uparaant harishchandr unake rajasooy yajn ke lie dikshasvaroop dhan (dakshina) bhi pradan kare. raja apani patni taramati (shaivya) tatha putr rohitashv ko sath le paidal hi kashi ki or chal diya. taramati dhire-dhire chal rahi thi, atah kruddh muni ne us par dande se prahar kiya. kalaantar mean ve log kashi pahuanche. vahaan vishvamitr dakshina lene ke nimitt pahale se hi vidyaman the. koee aur marg n dekh raja ne shaivya aur rohitashv ko ek brahman ke hathoan bech diya. dakshina ke lie dhan paryapt n hone ke karan svayan chaandal ke hathoan bik gaya. vastav mean dharm ne hi chaandal ka roop dharan kar rakha tha. harishchandr ka kary shavoan ke vastr adi ekatr karana tha. use shmashan bhoomi mean hi rahana bhi p data tha. kuchh samay uparaant kisi sarp ne rohitashv ka danshan kar liya. usaka shav lekar shaivya shmashan pahuanchi. harishchandr aur shaivya ne paraspar pahachana to apane-apane kasht ki gatha kah sunayi. tadanantar chita taiyar karake balak rohitashv ke sath hi harishchandr aur shaivya ne atmadah ka nishchay kar kiya. dharm ne prakat hokar unhean pran tyagane se roka.
indr ne prakat hokar prasannatapoorvak unhean svarg-lok chalane ke lie kaha kiantu chaandal ki ajna ke bina harishchandr kahian bhi jane ke lie taiyar nahian tha. rohitashv chita se jita-jagata uth kh da hua. dharm ne bataya ki usi ne chaandal ka roop dharan kiya tha. taduparaant vishvamitr ne prasann hokar rohitashv ko ayodhya ka raja ghoshit kar usaka rajy-tilak kiya. raja harishchandr ne shaivya tatha apane rajy ke any anek vyaktiyoan sahit svarg ke lie prasthan kiya.
harishchandr ke purohit vasishth the. ve barah varsh tak jal mean rahane ke bad bahar nikale to harishchandr ke aihik kasht tatha svarg gaman ke vishay mean sunakar bahut kruddh hue. unhoanne vishvamitr ko tiryak-yoni prapt karane ka shap diya. vishvamitr ne bhi vasishth ko vahi shap diya, dono ne kramashah chil aur bagule ka roop prapt kiya. ve donoan paraspar l dane lage, jisase samast prithvi tahas-nahas hone lagi. brahma ne donoan ka pakshi-roop vapas le liya aur unhean shaant kar phir se mitrata ke sootr se abaddh kiya.
devi bhagavat[2]
ek bar indralok mean vishvamitr vasishth se mile. vishvamitr ne unase poochha ki unhean indralok pahuanchane ka puny kaise prapt hua. vasishth ne kaha—'harishchandr atyant satyavadi haian—unhian ke punyoan se indralok ki prapti huee hai.' vishvamitr ne shesh ghatana ko smaran karake harishchandr ko mithyavadi kaha. ghar lautakar unhoanne apana kathan siddh karane ka nishchay kiya. ek din raja mrigaya ke lie van gaye, vahaan ek suandari ro rahi thi. usase jnat hua ki vah siddhirupini thi. use prapt karane ke lie vishvamitr ghor tap kar rahe the, atah vah klesh pa rahi thi. raja ne usaka duahkh harane ke lie vishvamitr ko tapasya chho dane ke lie kaha.
vishvamitr tapasya bhang hone se bahut kruddh ho uthe. unhoanne ek bhanyakar danav ko shookar ka roop dekar raja ke rajy mean bheja. praja ke tras ki nivriti ke lie raja dhanush-van lekar usaka pichha karate hue jangal mean ganga tatiy ek tirth sthan par pahuanch gaye. nagar ka marg poochhate hue raja ko vishvamitr ne tirthasthan karane ke lie prerit kiya. tadanantar dakshina svaroop apane mayavi putr ke vivah mean raja ne samast rajy dene ko kaha. raja dan dene ke lie pratijnabaddh the. atah unhoanne rajy pradan kiya. vishvamitr ne brahman ke roop hi phir dhaee bhar svarn ki dakshina maangi. raja ne dakshina dena ka vayada to kar liya kiantu ab usake pas svarn athava mudra nahian thi. atah usane patni ke kahane par use bechane ka nishchay kiya.
vishvamitr ne ek boodhe brahman ka roop dharakar usaki patni tatha balak rohitashv ko kharid liya tatha ek chaandal ke hathoan raja ko bechakar paryapt mudra prapt kar li. chaandal ka nam virabahu tha. usane raja ko shmashan mean mrit vyaktiyoan ke vastr lene ke lie niyukt kar diya. ek din rohitashv bachchoan ke sath khel raha tha. saanp ke dans lene se usaka nidhan ho gaya. maan atyant dinahin sthiti mean vilap karane lagi. nagar ke log ekatr ho gaye. unake parichay poochhane par usane koee uttar nahian diya, atah sabane use mayavi rakshasi janakar chaandal se kaha ki usaka vadh kar de. chaandal ne pashabaddh karake harishchandr ko vadh karane ke nimitt bulaya.
shaivya ne apane putr ka dah-sanskar karane tak use rukane ke lie kaha. rohitashv ko dekhane kie uparaant raja ne rani ko tatha shaivya ne chaan dal veshi raja ko pahachana. donoan ne vilap karate hue balak ka shav chita par rakha. tabhi indr, vishnu tatha vishvamitr sahit samast devataoan ne vahaan prakat hokar un donoan ko sahanashilata ki sarahana ki. dharm ne harishchandr ko svarg pradan kiya. raja chaandal se ajna lena nahian bhoole. dharm ne kaha—'vastav mean tumhari pariksha lene ke lie maianne hi brahman, chaandal tatha sarp ka roop dharan kiya tha.' unake ashirvad se rohitashv bhi punarjivit ho utha. raja ke kahane se usaki samast praja ko bhi svarg ki prapti huee.
