raghu ne ek achh‍chhe guru se diksha le li thi. gale mean tulasi ki kanh‍thi baandh li thi. sabere sh‍nan karake bhagavannam ka jap karata tha. bhagavat sunana aur sath‍sang mean jana usaka dainik kary ho gaya tha. in sab se usaka anh‍t: karan dhire-dhire shuddh ho gaya. jivamatr mean bhagavan virajaman haian, yah bat usaki samajh mean ane lagi. jiv-hiansa se use ab tivr virakti ho gayi. raghu ke liye machhali pak dana bahut hi kh‍leshadayak ho gaya. usane is kam ko chho d diya. kuchh din to ghar ke sanchit ann se kam chala; par sanchay tha hi kitana. upavas hone laga. ghar mean trahi-trahi mach gayi. pet ki jh‍vala tatha mata aur sh‍tri ke tirash‍kar se vh‍yakul hokar raghu ko phir jal uthana p da. vah sh‍vayan to bhookh se pran de sakata tha, par vaddha mata aur path‍ni ka kashh‍t usase saha nahian jata tha. pachhatata, bhagavan se prarthana karata.

machhali ke sh‍var

ek din vah talab par gaya. jal dalane par ek b di-si lal machhali usamean ayi aur jal se nikalane par t dapane lagi. raghu ka hriday chhatapata utha. use sh‍maran aya ki sabhi jivoan mean bhagavan haian. us t dapati machhali mean sh‍pashh‍t use bhagavan pratit hone lage. isi samay use mata aur path‍ni ki bhookhi akriti ka sh‍maran hua. du:khi, vh‍yakul raghu ne machhali ko jal se nikalakar pak da aur kahane laga- "math‍sh‍yaroopadhari hari ! mere du:kh ki bat suno. tumh‍hian ne mujhe dhivar banaya hai. jivoan ko marakar pet bharane ke siva aur koee doosara upay maian jivan-nirvah ka nahian janata. isase tum ko marane ke liye maian vivash hooan. tum hari ho ya aur koee, aj mere hath se bachakar nahian ja sakate."

raghu ne donoan hathoan se jor se machhali ka mukh pak da aur use pha dane laga. sahasa machhali ke bhitar se sh‍pashh‍t shabh‍d aya- "raksha kar, narayan ! raksha kar." raghu chakit ho gaya. usaka hriday ananh‍d se bhar gaya. machhali ko lekar vah van ki or bhaga. vahaan parvat se bahut-se jharane girate the. un jharanoan ne anek jalakunh‍d bana diye the. raghu ne ek kunh‍d mean machhali dal di.

raghu bhool gaya ki vah kee din se bhookha hai. bhool gaya ki ghar mean mata tatha sh‍tri usaki pratiksha karati hoangi. vah to kunh‍d ke pas baith gaya. usake netroan se do jharane girane lage. vah bhare kanh‍th se kahane laga- "machhali ke bhitar se mujhe tumane ‘narayan’ nam sunaya? ab tum darshan kh‍yoan nahian dete? tumh‍hara sh‍var itana madhur hai to tumh‍hari chhavi kitani sunh‍dar hogi! maian tumh‍hara darshan paye bina ab yahaan se uthooanga nahian."

brahman vesh mean bhagavan

raghu ko vahaan baithe-baithe tin din ho gaye. vah ‘narayan, narayan’ rat lagaye tha. narayan mean tanh‍may tha. ek booand jal tak usake mukh mean nahian gaya. din aur rat ka use pata hi nahian tha. bhakti ki sada khoj-khabar rakhane vale bhagavan ek vriddh brahman ke vesh mean vahaan aye aur poochhane lage- "are tapash‍vi ! too kaun hai? too is nirjan van mean kh‍yoan aya? kab se baitha hai yahaan? tera nam kh‍ya hai?"

raghu ka dhh‍yan toota. usane brahman ko pranam karake kaha- "maharaj ! maian koee bhi hoooan, apako mujhase kh‍ya prayojan hai. batean karane se mere kam mean vighh‍n p data hai. ap padharean."

brahman ne tanik hansakar kaha- "maian to chala jaooanga; par too soch to sahi ki machhali bhi kahian manushh‍y ki boli bol sakati hai. tujhe bhram ho gaya hai. jab kuchh us machhali mean hai hi nahian, tab tujhe kisake darshan hoange. too yahaan vh‍yarth kh‍yoan baitha hai. ghar chala ja."

raghu to brahman ki bat sunakar chauank p da. usane samajh liya ki machhali ki bat janane vale ye sarvajn mere prabhu hi haian. vah bola- "bhagavan ! sab jivoan mean paramath‍ma hi haian, yah bat maian janata hooan. machhali ke sharir mean se ve hi bolane vale haian. maian b da papi hooan. jivoan ki hath‍ya ki haian maianne. kh‍ya isi se ap meri pariksha le rahe haian? ap hi to narayan haian. ap prakat hokar mujhe darshan kh‍yoan nahian dete. mujhe kh‍yoan tarasa rahean haian, nath!"

chaturbhuj roop mean darshan

bhakt ki premabhari prarthana sunakar kripa sagar prabhu apane divh‍y chaturbhuj roop mean prakat ho gaye. raghu to ekatak dekhata rah gaya us lavanh‍y rashi ko. vah aansoo bahata hua prabhu ke charanoan me lotane laga. bhagavan ne use bhakti ka ashirvad dekar aur bhi var maangane ko kaha. raghu ne hath jo dakar kaha- "prabho ! apake darshan ho gaye aur apane bhajan ka ashirvad de diya, phir ab maangane ko kh‍ya raha. parantu apaki ajna hai to maian ek chhoti vash‍tu maangata hooan. jati se dhivar hooan. machhali marana mera paitrik sh‍vabhav hai. maian yahi varadan maangata hooan ki mera yah sh‍vabhav chhoot jay. pet ke liye bhi maian kabhi hiansa n karooan. anh‍t samay mean meri jibh apaka nam ratati rahe aur apaka darshan karate hue mere pran nikalean." bhagavan ne raghu ke mash‍tak par hath rakhakar ‘tathash‍tu’ kaha aur anh‍tardhan ho gaye.

raghu vachanasiddh mahath‍ma

bhagavan ka darshan pakar raghu samh‍poorn badal gaya. vah bhagavannam-kirtan karata hua ghar aya. gaanv ke logoan ne use dhikh‍kara ki mata aur sh‍tri ko niradhar chho dakar vah bhag gaya tha. daya karake gaanv ke zamiandar ne bechari striyoan ke liye ann ka prabanh‍dh kar diya tha. raghu ne ise bhagavan ki daya hi mani. yadi vah ghar par rahata to zamiandar ya koee bhi ek chhataank ann dene vala nahian tha. ab vah prat: shauch-sh‍nanadi se nivritt hokar bhagavan ka bhajan karata aur phir kirtan karata hua gaanv mean ghoomata. bina maange hi log use bulakar anek padarth dete the. is prakar anayas usaka tatha parivar ka palan-poshan hone laga. usaki mata tatha sh‍tri bhi ab bhajan mean lag gayian. raghu ab bhajan ke prabhav se poora sadhoo ho gaya. din-rat usaka man bhagavan mean laga rahata tha. vah nam kirtan karate-karate besudh ho jata tha.

ab raghu ki sthiti aisi ho gayi ki unake mukh se jo nikal jata, vahi sath‍y ho jata. ve vachanasiddh mahath‍ma mane jane lage. door-door se nana prakar ki kamana vale sh‍tri-purushoan ki bhi d ane lagi. raghu is prapanch se ghabara gaye. man-pratishh‍tha unh‍hean vish-si lagati thi. ghar chho dakar ve ab nirjan van mean rahane lage aur chaubisoan ghante keval bhajan mean hi bitane lage.

ek din raghu ko laga ki mano nilachal nath shri jaganh‍nath ji unase bhojan maang rahe haian. isase unh‍hean b da ananh‍d hua. bhojan-samagri lekar unh‍hoanne kutiya ka dvar band kar liya. bhakt ke bulate hi bhav ke bhookhe shri jaganh‍nath prakat ho gaye aur raghu ke hath se bhojan karane lage.

bhog-manh‍dap mean darpan

udhar usi samay nilachal mean shri jaganh‍nath ji ke bhog-manh‍dap mean pujari ne nana prakar ke pakavan sajaye. shri jagannath ji ke mandir mean bhog-manh‍dap alag hai. bhog-manh‍dap mean ek darpan laga hai. us darpan mean jaganh‍nath ji ke shri vigrah ka jo pratibimh‍b p data hai, usi ko naivedy chadhaya jata hai. sab samagri a jane par pujari jab bhog lagane laga, tab usane dekha ki darpan mean pratibimh‍b to p data hi nahian hai. darpan jahaan-ka-tahaan tha, bich mean koee a d bhi nahian thi; par pratibimh‍b nahian p d raha tha. ghabarakar vah raja ke pas gaya. usane kaha- "maharaj ! naivedy mean kuchh dosh hona chahiye. shri jaganh‍nath sh‍vami use sh‍vikar nahian kar rahe haian. ab kh‍ya kiya jay."

shraddhalu raja ne sh‍vayan dekha ki darpan mean prabhu ka pratibimh‍b nahian p data. unh‍hean b da du:kh hua. ve kahane lage- "pata nahian, mujhase kh‍ya aparadh ho gaya ki meri samagri se arpit bhog prabhu sh‍vikar nahian karate. mujhase koee aparadh hua ho to prayashchit karane ko maian taiyar hooan."

raja ka sh‍vaph‍n

raja prarthana karate hue du:khi hokar bhagavan ke garu d dhh‍vaj ke pas jakar bhoomi par hi let gaye. bhagavan ki lila se letate hi unh‍hean tanh‍dra a gayi. unh‍hoanne sh‍vaph‍n mean dekha ki prabhu kah rahe haian- "raja ! tera koee aparadh nahian. too du:khi mat ho. maian nilachal mean tha hi nahian, tab pratibimh‍b kisaka p data. maian to is samay pipalichati gram mean apane bhakt raghu kevat ki jhop di mean baitha usake hath se bhojan kar raha hooan. vah jab tak nahian chho data, maian yahaan akar tera naivedy kaise sh‍vikar kar sakata hooan. yadi too mujhe yahaan bulana chahata hai to mere us bhakt ko usaki mata tatha sh‍tri ke sath yahaan le a. yahian unake rahane ki vh‍yavash‍tha kar."

raja ka sh‍vaph‍n toot gaya. ve ekadam uth kh de hue. gho de par baithakar shighrata se pipalichati pahuanche. poochh-pachhakar raghu kevat ki jhop di ka pata lagaya. jab kee bar pukarane par bhi dvar n khula, tab dvar bal lagakar sh‍vayan khola unh‍hoanne. kutiya ka drishh‍y dekhate hi ve moorti ki bhaanti ho gaye. romaanchit sharir raghu samane bhojan rakhe kisi ko gras de raha hai. raghu dikhata hai, ann dikhata hai, gras dikhata hai; par gras lene vala mukh nahian dikhata. raja chupachap kh de rahe. vah ajnat mukh to jise kripa karake vah dikhana chahe, vahi b dabhagi dekh sakata hai.

sahasa prabhu anh‍tardhan ho gaye. raghu jal se nikali machhali ki bhaanti t dapane laga. raja ne ab use uthakar god mean baitha liya. raghu ko hosh aya. apane ko raja ki god mean dekh ve chakit ho gaye. jalh‍di se uthakar ve raja ko pranam karane lage. unh‍hean rokakar sh‍vayan puri-naresh ne unake charanoan mean pranam kiya. shri jagannath ki ajna sunakar raghu ne nilachal chalana sh‍vikar kar liya. mata tatha path‍ni ke sath ve puri aye. unake nilachal pahuanchate hi bhog-manh‍dap ke darpan mean shri jagannath ji ka pratibimh‍b dikhayi p da.

• puri ke raja ne shri jagannath ji ke mandir se dakshin or raghu ke liye ghar ki vh‍yavash‍tha kar di. avashh‍yak samagri bhijava di vahaan. raghu apani mata aur stri ke sath bhajan karate hue jivanaparyanh‍t vahian rahe.
