त्र्यरुण
ek bar raja tryarun ko ek sarathi ki avashyakata thi. usake purohit vrishajan ne gho doan ki lagam ko tham liya. purohit ko sarathi ke roop mean pakar raja ratharoodh hue. marg mean ek balak a gaya. athak prayatn se bhi vrishajan gho doan ko rok nahian paya tatha balak rath ke pahiye se kuchalakar mara gaya. janata ikatthi ho gee tatha vahaan par hahakar mach gaya. purohit ne atharvan mantroan tatha 'varshasam' stotr ke dvara stavan kiya. balak pun: jivit ho utha. vivad shuroo ho chuka tha, ki aparadhi kaun hai-sarathi ya phir rathi? sabane nishchay kiya ki ikshvaku isaka nirnay kareange. ikshvaku ki vyavastha ke anusar vrishajan ko svadesh tyagana p da.
praja ke sammukh vikat sankat utpann ho gaya. agni taparahit ho gee. bhojan taiyar karana, doodh-pani garam karana asambhav ho gaya. praja ne ekatr hokar kaha ki purohit ko dand dena anuchit hai. ikshvaku ne apane vanshaj (tryarun) ke sath pakshapat karake purohit ko videsh gaman ki vyavastha di hai, isi se agni ka tap nasht ho gaya. raja purohit ke pas gaye. unase kshama-yachana ki aur kaha,
"purohitavar, apaka dharm kshamadan hai. mera dandadan kijie v ap mujhe kshama kijie. mere karan praja ko kasht pahuanchana uchit nahian hai."
purohit vrishajan ne raja ko kshama kar diya tatha rajy ka purohit pad pun: svikar kar liya, kintu agni ka tap ab bhi nahian lauta. purohit ne kaha ki ve karan jan gaye haian. unhoanne kaha ki rani pishachini hai. rani ko bulaya gaya. purohit ne agnidev ka ahavan kiya. rani atyant malin, udas thi. agni devata ne prakat hokar rani ko bhasm kar diya. pap ki samapti ke sath hi agni ka tez aur prakash ek bar phir se pun: laut aya.[1]
