वेताल पच्चीसी सत्तरह
vetal pachchisi pachchis kathaoan se yukt ek lokakatha granth sangrah hai. ye kathayean raja vikram ki nyay-shakti ka bodh karati haian. vetal pratidin ek kahani sunata hai aur ant mean raja se aisa prashn kar deta hai ki raja ko usaka uttar dena hi p data hai. usane shart laga rakhi hai ki agar raja bolega to vah usase roothakar phir se pe d par ja latakega. lekin yah janate hue bhi saval samane ane par raja se chup nahian raha jata.
satrahavian kahani
chandrashekhar nagar mean ratnadatt nam ka ek seth rahata tha. usake ek l daki thi. usaka nam tha unmadini. jab vah b di huee to ratnadatt ne raja ke pas jakar kaha ki ap chahean to usase byah kar lijie. raja ne tin dasiyoan ko l daki ko dekh ane ko kaha. unhoanne unmadini ko dekha to usake rup par mugdh ho gayian, lekin unhoanne yah sochakar ki raja usake vash mean ho jayega, akar kah diya ki vah to kulakshini hai raja ne seth se inkar kar diya.
isake bad seth ne raja ke senapati balabhadr se usaka vivah kar diya. ve donoan achchhi tarah se rahane lage.
ek din raja ki savari us raste se nikali. us samay unmadini apane kothe par kh di thi. raja ki us par nigah p di to vah us par mohit ho gaya. usane pata lagaya. maloom hua ki vah seth ki l daki hai. raja ne socha ki ho-n-ho, jin dasiyoan ko maianne dekhane bheja tha, unhoanne chhal kiya hai. raja ne unhean bulaya to unhoanne akar sari bat sach-sach kah di. itane mean senapati vahaan a gaya. use raja ki baicheni maloom huee.
usane kaha: svami unmadini ko ap le lijie.
raja ne gussa hokar kaha: kya maian adharmi hooan, jo paraee stri ko le looan?
raja ko itani vyakulata huee ki vah kuchh din mean mar gaya. senapati ne apane guru ko sab hal sunakar poochha ki ab maian kya karooan?
guru ne kaha: sevak ka dharm hai ki svami ke lie jan de de.
raja ki chita taiyar huee. senapati vahaan gaya aur usamean kood p da. jab unmadini ko yah bat maloom huee to vah pati ke sath jal jana dharm samajhakar chita ke pas pahuanchi aur usamean jakar bhasm ho gayi.
itana kahakar vetal ne poochha; rajanh, batao, senapati aur raja mean kaun adhik sahasi tha?
raja ne kaha: raja adhik sahasi tha; kyoanki usane rajadharm par dridh rahane ke lie unmadini ko usake pati ke kahane par bhi svikar nahian kiya aur apane pranoan ko tyag diya. senapati kulin sevak tha. apane svami ki bhalaee mean usaka pran dena acharaj ki bat nahian. asali kam to raja ne kiya ki pran chho dakar bhi rajadharm nahian chho da.
raja ka yah uttar sunakar vetal phir pe d par ja lataka. raja use pun: pak dakar laya aur tab usane yah kahani sunayi.
