mahabharat yuddh ka karan

duryodhan gada yuddh mean parangat tha aur shri krishna ke b de bhaee balaram ka shishy tha. duryodhan ne karn ko apana mitr banakar use aang desh ka raja niyukt kar diya tha. balaram subhadra se usaka vivah bhi karana chahate the, kintu arjun dvara subhadr-haran se vah nirash hokar unaka shatru ho gaya. dhritarashtr yudhishthar ko raja banana chahate the, kintu duryodhan ne aisa nahian hone diya. usane lakshagrih mean pandavoan ko jalane ka asaphal prayatn kiya. yudhishthar ke rajasooy mean may danav nirmit pharsh par use jal ka bhram ho gaya aur jahaan jal tha, vahaan use sookhi bhoomi dikhayi p di. jis par bhim tatha draupadi ne duryodhan ka apaman "andhe ka putr andha" kahakar kiya tha. usaki hansi u dayi. eershyavash shakuni ki sahayata se usane pandavoan ki sab sampatti aur draupadi ko bhi jitakar apaman ka badala lene ke lie bhari sabha mean draupadi ko nangi karane ki ajna di aur apani jaangh kholakar kaha ki use is par bithao. jo apaman mahabharat yuddh ka karan bana.

sharir ko vajr

yuddh ke samay gaandhari ne apane aankhoan ki patti kholakar duryodhan ke sharir ko vajr ka karana chaha. kintu krishna ki yojana aur bahakane ke karan duryodhan gaandhari ke samaksh poornat: ni:vastr nahian ja paya aur usaka jangha kshetr vajr ka nahian ho paya. krishna ki kripa se draupadi ki lajja bachi aur apane pran ke anusar mahabharat ke ant mean bhim ne gada se duryodhan ki jaangh to d di. duryodhan sooee ki nok ke barabar bhi bhoomi pandavoan ko dene ko taiyar nahian tha.

duryodhan ki mrityu

duryodhan yah kahakar ki mere paksh ke logoan se kah dena ki maian rajyahin ho jane ke karan sarovar mean pravesh kar gaya hooan. vah sarovar mean jakar chhip gaya tatha maya se usaka pani baandh liya. tabhi kripachary, ashvatthama tatha kritavarma duryodhan ko dhooandhate hue us or ja nikale. sajay ke samast samachar janakar ve pun: yuddhakshetr ki or badhe. rajadhani mean kauravoan ki sena ke nash aur parajay ka samachar pahuancha to rajamahilaoan sahit samast log nagar ki or dau dane lage. yuddh-kshetr janashoony pakar ve pun: sarovar par pahuanche aur duryodhan ko paandavoan se yuddh karane ka adesh dene lage, is prakar jal mean chhipana kayarata hai. usi samay kuchh vyadh maans ke bhar se thake pani pine ke lie sarovar par pahuanche. sanyogavash duryodhan ko dhooandhate hue paandav un vyadhoan se usake vishay mean poochhatachh kar chuke the. vyadhoan ne un sabaki mantrana chupake se suni ki duryodhan kuchh samay talab mean chhipakar vishram karana chahata hai. unhoanne dhan-vaibhav ke lalach mean paandavoan tak usake chhupane ke sthan ka pata pahuancha diya. paandav apane sainikoan ke sath sianhanad karate hue us dvaipayan namak sarovar tak pahuanche. ashvatthama adi ne samajha ki ve apani vijay ki prasannata ke aveg mean ghoom rahe haian, at: ve duryodhan ko vahaan chho d door ek baragad ke pe d ke niche ja baithe tatha bhavishy ke vishay mean charcha karane lage. bahar se duryodhan dikhalayi nahian p data tha, at: ve log ashvast the.

paandavoan ne vahaan pahuanchakar dekha ki sarovar ka jal maya se stanbhit hai aur usake aandar duryodhan bhi poorn surakshit hai. shrikrishna ne yudhishthir ko bhi maya ka prayog karane ka paramarsh diya. yudhishthir adi ne duryodhan ko kayarata ke lie dhikkara tatha yuddh ke lie lalakara. duryodhan ne uttar mean kaha ki vah bhayakraant pran-raksha ke nimitt vahaan nahian hai, apitu kuchh samay vishram karana chahata hai tatha usake pas rath ityadi ki vyavastha bhi nahian hai. apane bandhu-baandhavoan ke nash ke uparaant vah mrigacharm dharan karane ke lie utsuk hai. paandav mitrashoony dharati par rajy karean. yudhishthir ne jamakar phatakar lagayi, kaha-

tumhari di dharati bhogane ko koee bhi ichchhuk nahian hai. kshatriy log kisi ka diya dan nahian lete. tum mard ho to samane akar l do, is prakar chhipana kahaan ki virata hai.

bhim aur duryodhan ke bich yuddh

duryodhan svabhav se hi krodhi tha. usane kaha ki vah ek-ek paandav ke sath gada-yuddh karane ke lie taiyar hai. yudhishthir ne usase kaha-

tum kavach ityadi yuddh ke lie avashyak avayav grahan kar lo. tum kisi bhi ek paandav se yuddh karo, jit jaoange to tum apana sara rajy le lena.

krishna is bat par roosht ho gaye. ve yudhishthir se bole- ap logoan mean se bhim se itar koee bhi usase gada-yuddh karane yogy nahian hai. apane dayavash phir bhanyakar bhool ki hai. dyootakri da ki bhaanti hi use yah avasar dena ki vah bhim ko chho dakar kisi aur ko lalakar le- kaunasi buddhimatta hai? bhim ne avasar dekhakar duryodhan ko yuddh ke lie lalakara. donoan ka dvandv yuddh aranbh hua. tabhi tirthatan karate hue balaram ko narad muni se kuroo-sanhar ka samachar mila, at: ve bhi vahaan pahuanche. paandavoan ne unhean sadar apane shishyoan ka dvandv yuddh dekhane ke lie amantrit kiya. balaram ki salah se sab log kurookshetr ke samantapanchak tirth mean gaye. vahaan bhim aur duryodhan gada-yuddh mean jut gaye. donoan ka pal da barabar tha. shrikrishna tatha arjun ne paraspar vichar-vimarsh kiya ki bhim adhik balavan hai tatha duryodhan adhik kushal, at: dharmayuddh mean duryodhan ko parast karana bahut kathin hai. bhim ne jue ke samay yah pratijna ki thi- maian gada marakar teri donoan jaanghe to d dalooanga. bhim ke dekhane par arjun ne apani bayian jaangh ko thoka. bhim sanket samajh gaya aur usane paiantara badalate hue duryodhan ki jaanghean gada ke prahar se to d dali. vah dharashayi ho gaya to bhim ne usaki gada le li aur bayean pair se usaka sir kuchal diya, sath hi dyootakri da tatha chiraharan ke lajjajanak prasang ki yad dilayi. yudhishthir ne bhim ko pad-prahar karane se roka. kaha ki mitrahin duryodhan ab daya ka patr hai, upahas ka nahian, jisake tarpan ke lie bhi koee shesh nahian bacha. yudhishthir ne duryodhan se kshama-yachana ki aur dukhi hone lage ki rajy pakar vidhava bahuoan-bhabhiyoan ko kaise dekh sakeange. balaram ne duryodhan ko aniti se parajit dekha to krodh se lal-pile ho uthe tatha bole-

mere shishy ko anyay se girana mera apaman hai.

ve apana hal uthakar bhimasen ki or dau de, kiantu shrikrishna ne unhean bich mean rokakar batalaya ki kis prakar chiraharan ke samay bhim ne usaki janghayean to dane ki shapath li thi. kis prakar samay-samay par kauravoan ne paandavoan ko chhala, kis prakar abhimanyu ko anyay se mara gaya; ityadi. yah to pratishodh matr tha. balaram santusht nahian hue tatha dvaraka ki or chal diye. shrikrishna ki bat sunakar taangean kata hua duryodhan uchakakar dharati par baith gaya aur bola-

tum logoan ne bhishm, dron, karn, bhoorishrava tatha mujhe adharm se mara hai. maian apani mrityu se dukhi nahian hooan. mujhe kshatriy dharm ke anusar hi mrityu prapt ho rahi hai. maian svarg bhog karooanga aur tum log bhagn manorath hokar shochaniy jivan bitate rahoge. bhim ke pad-prahar ka bhi mujhe dukh nahian, kyoanki kuchh samay bad kaue-gridh is sharir ka upabhog kareange.

usaka vaky samapt hote hi pavitr sugandhavale pushpoan ki varsha aranbh ho gayi. gandharvagan vady bajane lage aur raja paandavoan ko dhikkarane lage. shrikrishna ne sab rajaoan ko duryodhan ke kukrityoan ki talika sunakar kaha ki uparyukt paanchoan yoddha atirathi the, unhean dharmayuddh mean parajit karana asanbhav tha, kiantu ve adharm ki or se l d rahe the at: aniti se hi unhean parajit kiya ja sakata tha. asuroan ka vinash karane ke lie poorvavarti devataoan ne bhi isi marg ko apanaya tha. paandav duryodhan ko usi sthiti mean chho dakar chale gaye. duryodhan t dapata raha. tabhi sanyog se sanjay vahaan pahuanche, duryodhan ne unake sammukh sab vrittaant kah sunaya, phir sandeshavahakoan se ashvatthama, kripachary tatha kritavarma ko bulavakar sab krity sunaye. ashvatthama ne kruddh hokar paandavoan ko mar dalane ki shapath li tatha vahian par unhean kauravoan ke senapati-pad par niyukt kar diya gaya. un tinoan ke jane ke uparaant us rat vah vahian t dapata raha.

tinoan maharathi nikatavarti gahan jangal mean chhipakar rat vyatit karane ke lie chale gaye. gho doan ko pani ityadi pilakar ve vishram karane lage. kripachary tatha kritavarma ko niand a gayi kiant ashvatthama jage rahe. ve log baragad ke ek b de vriksh ke niche vishram kar rahe the. ashvatthama ne dekha ki ek ulloo ne achanak akraman karake pe d ki kotaroan mean sote hue anek kauoan ko mar dala. unhoanne isi prakar paandavoan ko marane ka nishchay kiya aur ise daivi sanket hi mana. donoan sathiyoan ko jagakar unhoanne apana vichar prakat kiya to kripachary ne unhean daiv ki prabalata ke karan kauravoan ka nash hua hai- yah samajhakar shaant karana chaha aur agale din prat: yuddh karane ka vichar prakat kiya kiant ashvatthama apane nishchay par atal rahe. ve akele hi sarvannash karane ke lie udyat the. at: tinoan vir us rat paandavoan ke shivir mean pahuanche. vahaan dvar par unhean sarpoan ka yajnopavit tatha mrigacharm dharan kiye ek vishalakay dvarapal mila. ashvatthama ne anek divy astroan ka prayog kiya kiantu pratyek astr us divy vyakti ke sharir mean vilin ho jata tha. astrahin hone ke uparaant ashvatthama ne us divy puroosh ko pahachana, ve sakshat shiv the. unhean pranam kar, ashvatthama ne unase kh dag ki yachana ki. unaka dridh nianshchay janakar unake sammukh tatkal hi ek svarnavedi prakat huee, jisapar agnidev ka avirbhav hua tatha dishayean agni ki jvalaoan se yukt ho gayian. vahaanvahaan anek gan prakat huean sab vichitr bhav-bhangima tatha mukh-netr adi se yukt the. unake darshan se hi vyakti bhayabhit ho sakata tha. dronaputr ne vanadhanush samidha, van kusha, tatha sharir havishy roop mean prastut hue. ve svarnavedi ki jvalaoan ke madhy ja baithe. shiv ne prasann hokar kaha ki krishna ne sadaiv unaki pooja ki hai, isi se ve unhean sarvadhik priy haian. paanchaloan ki raksha krishna ke samman tatha ashvatthama ki pariksha ke lie ki gayi thi. taduparaant shiv ne apane svaroop bhoot unake sharir mean pravesh kiya aur ek divy kh dag pradan kian anek adrishy gan ashvatthama ke sath ho lie. donoan maharathiyoan ko dvar par chho d ki koee jivit n bhag sake, ashvatthama shivir ke aandar gaye. vahaan dhrishtadyumn, uttamoja, yudhamanyu, shikhandi, draupadi ke paanch putroan tatha any jitane bhi log shivir mean the, unhean kuchalakar, gala ghoantakar athava talavar se katakar mar dala. pau phatane par shesh donoan yoddhaoan ko sath le ve duryodhan ke pas pahuanche. duryodhan ne ratri ka mrityukaand sunakar santoshapoorvak pran tyag diye.
