dasavian kahani
madanapur nagar mean viravar nam ka raja raj karata tha. usake rajy mean ek vaishy tha, jisaka nam hiranyadatt tha. usake madanasena nam ki ek kanya thi.
ek din madanasena apani sakhiyoan ke sath bag mean gayi. vahaan sanyog se somadatt namak seth ka l daka dharmadatt apane mitr ke sath aya hua tha. vah madanasena ko dekhate hi usase prem karane laga. ghar lautakar vah sari rat usake lie baichen raha. agale din vah phir bag mean gaya. madanasena vahaan akeli baithi thi.
usake pas jakar usane kaha: tum mujhase pyar nahian karogi to maian pran de dooanga.
madanasena ne javab diya: aj se paanchave din meri shadi hone vali hai. maian tumhari nahian ho sakati.
vah bola: maian tumhare bina jivit nahian rah sakata.
madanasena dar gayi. boli: achchhi bat hai. mera byah ho jane do. maian apane pati ke pas jane se pahale tumase zaroor milooangi.
vachan dekar madanasena dar gayi. usaka vivah ho gaya aur vah jab apane pati ke pas gayi to udas hokar boli, "ap mujh par vishvas karean aur mujhe abhay dan dean to ek bat kahooan." pati ne vishvas dilaya to usane sari bat kah sunayi. sunakar pati ne socha ki yah bina jaye manegi to hai nahian, rokana bekar hai. usane jane ki ajna de di.
madanasena achchhe-achchhe kap de aur gahane pahan kar chali. raste mean use ek chor mila. usane usaka aanchal pak d liya.
madanasena ne kaha: tum mujhe chho d do. mere gahane lena chahate ho to lo.
chor bola: maian to tumhean chahata hooan.
madanasena ne use sara hal kaha: pahale maian vahaan ho aooan, tab tumhare pas aooangi.
chor ne use chho d diya.
madanasena dharmadatt ke pas pahuanchi. use dekhakar vah b da khush hua aur usane poochha, "tum apane pati se bachakar kaise ayi ho?"
madanasena ne sari bat sach-sach kah di. dharmadatt par usaka b da gahara asar p da. usane use chho d diya. phir vah chor ke pas ayi. chor sab kuchh janakar b da prabhavit hua aur vah use ghar par chho d gaya. is prakar madanasena sabase bachakar pati ke pas a gayi. pati ne sara hal suna to bahut prasann hua aur usake sath anand se rahane laga.
itana kahakar vetal bola: he raja! batao, pati, dharmadatt aur chor, inamean se kaun adhik tyagi hai?
raja ne kaha: chor. madanasena ka pati to use doosare adami par rujhan hone se tyag deta hai. dharmadatt use isalie chho data hai ki usaka man badal gaya tha, phir use yah dar bhi raha hoga ki kahian usaka pati use raja se kahakar dand n dilava de. lekin chor ka kisi ko pata n tha, phir bhi usane use chho d diya. isalie vah un donoan se adhik tyagi tha.
raja ka yah javab sunakar vetal phir pe d par ja lataka aur raja jab use lekar chala to usane yah katha sunayi.
