navian kahani
chammapur nam ka ek nagar tha, jisamean champakeshvar nam ka raja raj karata tha. usake sulochana nam ki rani thi aur tribhuvanasundari nam ki l daki. rajakumari yatha nam tatha gun thi. jab vah b di huee to usaka roop aur nikhar gaya. raja aur rani ko usake vivah ki chinta huee. charoan or isaki khabar phail gayi. bahut-se rajaoan ne apani-apani tasvirean banavakar bheanji, par rajakumari ne kisi ko bhi pasand n kiya.
raja ne kaha: beti, kaho to svayanvar karooan? lekin vah raji nahian huee. akhir raja ne tay kiya ki vah usaka vivah us adami ke sath karega, jo roop, bal aur jnan, in tinoan mean badha-chadha hoga.
ek din raja ke pas char desh ke char var aye.
ek ne kaha: maian ek kap da banakar paanch lakh mean bechata hooan, ek lakh devata ko chadhata hooan, ek lakh apane aang lagata hooan, ek lakh stri ke lie rakhata hooan aur ek lakh se apane khane-pine ka kharch chalata hooan. is vidya ko aur koee nahian janata.
doosara bola: maian jal-thal ke pashuoan ki bhasha janata hooan.
tisare ne kaha: maian itana shastr padha hooan ki mera koee mukabala nahian kar sakata.
chauthe ne kaha: maian shabdavedhi tir chalana janata hooan.
charoan ki batean sunakar raja soch mean p d gaya. ve sundarata mean bhi ek-se-ek badhakar the. usane rajakumari ko bulakar unake gun aur roop ka varnan kiya, par vah chup rahi.
itana kahakar vetal bola: rajanh, tum batao ki rajakumari kisako milani chahie?
raja bola: jo kap da banakar bechata hai, vah shoodr hai. jo pashuoan ki bhasha janata hai, vah jnani hai. jo shastr padha hai, brahman hai; par jo shabdavedhi tir chalana janata hai, vah rajakumari ka sajatiy hai aur usake yogy hai. rajakumari usi ko milani chahie.
raja ke itana kahate hi vetal gayab ho gaya. raja bechara vapas lauta aur use lekar chala to usane dasavian kahani sunayi.
