mandakini ke tat par ramanik bhavan mean skand aur ganesh apane-apane vahanoan par tahal rahe haian.

narad bhagavanh ne apani vina ko kalah-rag mean bajate-bajate us kanan ko pavitr kiya, abhivadan ke uparant skand, ganesh aur narad mean varta hone lagi.

narad-(skand se) ap buddhi-svami ganesh ke sath rahate haian, yah achchhi bat hai, (phir ganesh se) aur dev-senapati kumar ke sath ghoomate haian, isase (toand dikhakar) apaka bhi kalyan hi hai.

ganesh-kya ap mujhe sthool samajhakar aisa kah rahe haian? ap nahian janate, hamane isilie mooshak-vahan rakha hai, jisamean dev-samaj mean vahan n hone ki ninda koee n kare, aur nahian to bechara ‘moos’ chalega kitana? maian to chal-phir kar kam chala leta hooan. dekhiye, jab janani ne dvarapal ka kary mujhe sauanp rakha tha, tab maianne kitana parakram dikhaya tha, pramath ganoan ko apani pad-maryada hamare soante ki chot se bhool jana p da.

skand-bas rahane do, yadi ham tumhean apane sath n tahalate, to bharat ke alasiyoan ki tarah tum bhi ho jate.

ganesh-(hansakar) h-h-h-h, naradaji! dekhate haian n ap? l dake logoan se buddhi utani hi samip rahati hai, jitani ki himalay se dakshini samudr!

skand-aur yah bhi suna hai.-dhol ke bhitar pol!

ganesh-achchha to narad hi is bat ka nirnay kareange ki kaun b da hai.

narad-bhaee, maian to nahian nirnay karooanga; par, ap logoan ke lie ek panchayat karava dooanga, jisamean ap hi nirnay ho jayaga.

itana kahakar naradaji chalate bane.

bhag 2

vatavriksh-tal sukhasin shankar ke samane narad hath jo dakar kh de haian. dayanidhi shankar ne hansakar poochha-kyoan vats narad! aj apana kuchh nity kary kiya ya nahian?’’

narad ne vinit hokar kaha-nath, vah kaun kary hai?’’

janani ne hansakar kaha-vahi kalah-kary.

narad-mata! ap bhi aisa kaheangi, to narad ho chuke; yah to log samajhate hi nahian ki yah mahamaya hi ki maya hai, bas, hamara nam kalah-priy rakh diya hai.

mahamaya sunakar hansane lagian.

shankar-(hansakar)-kaho, aj ka kya samachar hai?

narad-aur kya, abhi to ap yoan hi mujhe kalahakari samajhe hue baithe haian, maian kuchh kahooanga, to kaheange ki bas tumhian ne sab kiya hai. maian jata to hooan jhag da chhu dane, par, log mujhi ko kahate haian.

shankar-nahian, nahian, tum nirbhay hokar kaho.

narad-aj kumar se aur ganeshaji se dandebaji ho chuki thi. maianne kaha-ap log thahar jaie, maian panchayat karake ap logoan ka kalah door kar dooanga. is par ve log man gaye haian. ab ap shighr un logoan ke panch banakar unaka nibatara kijie.

shankar-yahaan tak! achchha, jhag da kis bat ka hai?

narad-yahi ki devasena-pati hone se kumar apane ko b da samajhate haian, aur (janani ki or dekhakar) buddhiman hone se ganesh apane ko b da samajhate haian.

janani-haan-haan, thik hi to hai, ganesh b da buddhiman hai.

shankar ne dekha ki yah to yahaan bhi kalah utpann kiya chahata hai, isalie ve bole-vats! tum isamean apane pita ko hi panch mano, karan ki jisako ham b da kaheange, doosara samajhega ki pita ne hamara anadar kiya hai-astu, tum shighr hi isaka ayojan karake donoan ko shant karo.

narad ne dekha ki, yahaan dal nahian galati, to jagatpita ke charan-raj lekar bida hue.

bhag 3

narad apane pita brahma ke pas pahuanche. unhoanne sab hal sunakar kaha-vats! tujhe kya p di rahati hai, jo too l daee-jhag doan mean agragami bana rahata hai, aur vyarth apavad sunata hai?

narad-pita! ap to keval sansar ko banana janate haian, yah nahian janate ki sansar mean kary kis prakar se chalata hai. yadi do-char ko l dao n, aur unaka nibatara n karo, to phir kaun poochhata hai? dekhie, isi se dev-samaj mean narad-narad ho raha hai, aur kisi bhi apane putr ki apane dev-samaj mean itani charcha suni hai?

brahma-to kya tujhe prasiddhi ka yahi marg mila hai?

narad-mujhe to isamean sukh milata hai-

‘‘yen ken prakaren prasiddh: purusho bhaveth .’’

brahma-ab to shankar ki ajna huee hai, jaise-taise isako karana hi hoga, kintu ham dekhate haian ki ganeshaji janani ko priy haian; atev yadi unaki kuchh bhi nichaee hogi, to janani doosari bat samajheangi! astu! ab koee aisa upay karana hoga ki jisamean buddhi se jo jite, vahi vijayi ho. achchha, ab sabako shankar ke samip ikaththa karo.

narad yah sunakar pranam karake chale.

bhag 4

vishal vatavrikshatale sab devataoan se sushobhit shankar virajaman haian. panchayat jam rahi hai. brahmaji kuchh sochakar bole-ganeshaji aur kumar mean is bat ka jhag da hua hai ki kaun b da hai? astu, ham yah kahate haian ki jo in logoan mean se samagr vishv ki parikrama karake pahale avega, vahi b da hoga.

skand ne socha-chalo achchhi bhee, ganesh svayan tundil haian-mooshak-vahan par kahaan tak dau deange, aur mor par maian shighr hi prithvi ki parikrama kar aooanga.

phir vah mor par savar hokar dau de. ganesh ne socha ki bhav aur bhavani hi to pita-mata haian, ab unase badhaqar kaun vishv hoga. astu, yah vicharakar shighr hi jagajjanak, janani ki parikrama karake baith gaye.

jab kumar jaldi-jaldi ghoomakar aye, to dekha, tundilaji apane sthan par baithe haian.

brahma ne kaha-dekho, ganeshaji apake pahale ghoomakar a gaye haian!

skand ne krodhit hokar kaha-so kaise? maianne to path mean inhean kahian nahian dekha!

brahma ne kaha-kya marg mean mooshak ka pad-chihn apako kahian nahian dikhaee p da tha?

skand ne kaha-haan, pad-chihn to dekha tha.

brahma ne kaha-unhoanne vishvaroop jagajjanak, janani hi ki parikrama kar li hai. so bhi tumhare pahale hi.

skand lajjit hokar chup ho rahe.
