ilval aur vatapi

vaishampayan ji kahate haian- janamejay! tadanantar prachur dakshina dene vale kuntinandan raja yudhishthir ne gaya se prasthan kiya aur agastyashram mean jakar durjay manimati nagari mean nivas kiya. vahian vaktaoan mean shreshth raja yudhishthir ne maharshi lomash se poochha- "brahmanh! agasty ji ne yahaan vatapi ko kisaliye nasht kiya? manushyoan ka vinash karane vale us daity ka prabhav kaisa tha? aur mahatma agastyaji ke man mean krodh ka uday kaise hua."

lomash ji ne kaha- paandunandan! poorvakal ki bat hai, is manimati nagari mean ilval namak daity rahata tha vatapi usi ka chhota bhaee tha. ek din ditinandan ilval ne ek tapasvi brahman se kaha- "bhagavan! ap mujhe aisa putr dean, jo indr ke saman parakrami ho." un brahman devata ne ilval ko indr ke saman putr nahian diya. isase vah asur un brahman devata par bahut kupit ho utha. rajan! tabhi se ilval daity krodh mean bharakar brahmanoan ki hatya karane laga.

vah mayavi apane bhaee vatapi ko maya se bakara bana deta tha. vatapi bhi ichchhanusar roop dharan karane mean samarth tha! at: vah kshanabhar mean mean da aur bakara ban jata tha. phir ilval us bhe d ya bakare ko pakakar usaka maans raandhata aur kisi brahman ko khila deta tha. isake bad vah brahman ko marane ki ichchha karata tha. ilval mean yah shakti thi ki vah jis kisi bhi yamalok mean gaye hue prani ko usaka nam lekar bulata, vah pun: sharir dharan karake jivit dikhayi dene lagata tha. us din vatapi daity ko bakara banakar ilval ne usake maans ka sanskar kiya aur un brahman dev ko vah maans khilakar pun: apane bhaee ko pukara. rajan! ilval ke dvara uchch svar se boli huee vani sunakar vah atyant mayavi brahmanashatru balavan mahadaity vatapi us brahman ki pasali ko pha dakar hansata hua nikal aya. rajan! is prakar dushtahriday ilval daity bar-bar brahmanoan ko bhojan karakar apane bhaee dvara unaki hiansa kara deta tha.

vivah

ek bar agasty muni kahian chale ja rahe the. unhoanne ek jagah apane pitaroan ko dekha, jo ek gaddhe mean niche muanh kiye latak rahe the. tab un latakate hue pitaroan se agasty ji ne poochha- "ap log yahaan kisaliye niche muanh kiye kaanpate hue se latak rahe hai." yah sunakar un vedavadi pitaroan ne uttar diya- "santan parampara ke lop ki sambhavana ke karan hamari yah durdasha ho rahi hai." apane pitaroan ki yah durdasha dekhane ke bad agasty muni ne vivah karane ka nishchay kiya. agasty ne ek anupam shishu ki rachana ki aur unhian dinoan vidarbh-naresh bhi santan-prapti ke lie kathin tapasya karane mean lin the. maianne jis shishu ki rachana ki hai, vahi is naresh ki putri ke roop mean janm legi. chh: mahinoan bad rani ne ek kanya ko janm diya. raja ki khushi ka thikana n raha. brahman shreshth! meri tapasya saphal huee. mujhe ek kanya-ratn ki prapti huee hai.

balika ka saundary dekhakar brahmanagan mugdh rah gaye. yah balika lopamudra ke nam se prasiddh huee. lopamudra b di hokar advitiy sundari aur param charitravati ke roop mean vikasit huee. agasty muni raja ke pas pahuanche aur unhoanne kaha ki maian apaki putri se vivah karana chahata hooan. raja ye bat sunakar chinta mean doob ge. usi samay lopamudra raja ke pas ayi aur boli- "pita ji, ap duvidha mean kyoan p d gaye? maian rrishivar se vivah karane ke lie prastut hooan." lopamudra aur agasty muni ka vivah sampann ho gaya. vivah ke pashchath agasty muni ne lopamudra se kaha ki- "tumhare ye rajakiy vastr rrishi-patni ko shobha nahian dete. inaka parityag kar do." lopamudra ne kaha- "jo ajna, svami! ab se maian chhal, charm aur valkal hi dharan karooangi." kuchh samay bad lopamudra ne kaha- "svami meri ek ichchha hai." rrishi bole- "kaho, kya ichchha hai tumhari?" lopamudra ne kaha- "ham thahare grihasth! hamare lie dhan se sampann hona koee aparadh n hoga. prabhu, mai usi tarah rahana chahati hooan, jaise apane pita ke ghar rahati thi." rrishi bole- "achchha to maian dhan-prapti ke lie jata hooan. tum yahian meri pratiksha karana." agasty chal p de. maian raja shrutarva ke pas chalooan. kahate haian, ve atyant samriddh haian.

jab agasty raja shrutarva ke darabar mean pahuanche to maharaj shrutarva ne poochha- "mahatman, bataiye maian apaki kya seva karooan?" agasty bole- "maian tumase kuchh dhan maangane aya hooan. tum apani samarthy ke anusar mujhe dhan pradan karo." raja ne kaha- "mere pas dene ko atirikt dhan nahian hai. phir bhi jo hai, usamean se ap ichchhanusar le sakate haian." agasty rrishi nitivan the. agar maian is raja se kuchh leta hooan, to doosaroan ko usase vanchit hona p dega. unhoanne shrutarva se kaha- "maian tumase kuchh nahian le sakata. ao, ham raja brihadasth ke pas chalean." lekin raja brihadasth ke pas bhi dene layaq atirikt dhan nahian tha. rrishi agasty ne kaha- "shayad, raja trasadasyu meri kuchh sahayata kar sakean. ao, ham sab unake pas chalean." lekin jab ve log raja trasadasyu ke yahaan pahuanche to raja trasadasyu bhi unako dhan dene mean asamarth rahe. tinoan raja ek-doosare ka muanh takane lage. ant mean unhoanne samavet svar mean kaha- "yahaan ilval namak ek asur rahata hai, jisake pas athah dhan hai. aiye, ham usake pas chalean." ilval mahadhoort rakshas tha. usaka ek bhaee bhi tha, jisaka nam vatapi tha. ve donoan hi brahmanoan se ghrina karate the aur brahmanoan ki hatya ka unhoanne sankalp le rakha tha. jab agasty tinoan rajaoan ke sath ilval ke samrajy mean pahuanche, vah unake svagat ke lie taiyar baitha tha. unake vahaan pahuanchate hi usane kaha- "aiye, ap sabaka svagat hai. maianne apake lie vishesh bhojan taiyar karavaya hai." tinoan rajaoan ko ashanka huee. hamean agasty muni ko savadhan kar dena chahie. jab unhoanne rrishi ko bataya to rrishi ne kaha- "chinta mat karo. mera kuchh nahian big dega." agasty ne bhojan shuroo kiya. sachamuch aisa svadisht bhojan pahali bar khane ko mila.

jab rrishi agasty ne antim kaur grahan kiya to ilval ne vatapi ko avaz di. vatapi bahar ao. ilval krodh se pagal ho utha. agasty bole- "ab vah kaise bahar a sakata hai? maian to use khakar pacha bhi gaya." ilval ne apani har svikar kar li. usane agasty se kaha- "apaka kis uddeshy se ana hua? maian apaki kya seva kar sakata hooan?" agasty bole- "hamean pata hai ki tum b de dhanavan ho. in rajaoan ko aur mujhe dhan chahie. auroan ko vanchit kie bina jo bhi de sakate ho hamean de do." ilval pal-bhar ko chup raha. phir usane kaha ki- "maian har ek raja ko das-das hazar gayean aur utani hi muharean dooanga aur agasty rrishi ko bis hazar gayean aur utani hi muharean dooanga, isake alava maian unaki seva mean apana sone ka rath aur gho de bhi arpit kar dooanga. ap ye sari vastuean svikar karean." ilval ke gho de dharati par vayu-veg se dau date haian. ve log pal-bhar mean hi rrishi agasty ke ashram pahuanch gaye. ab rajaoan ne rrishi agasty se jane ki ajna maangi aur rrishi ne unhean jane ki ajna de di. un logoan ke jane ke bad rrishi agasty lopamudra ke pas gaye aur kaha ki- "lopamudra, jo tum chahati thian vah maian le aya. ab ham tumhari ichchhanusar jivan bitaeange." kee varshoan bad lopamudra ne ek putr ko janm diya. is prakar rrishi agasty ne apane pitaroan ko diya hua vachan poora kiya.
