madhup abhi kisalay-shayya par, makarand-madira pan kiye so rahe the. sundari ke mukh-mandal par prasved bindu ke saman phooloan ke os abhi sookhane n paye the. arun ki svarn-kiranoan ne unhean garami n pahuanchayi thi. phool kuchh khil chuke the! parantu the ardh-vikasit. aise saurabhapoorn suman savere hi jakar upavan se chun liye the. parn-put ka unhean pavitr veshthan dekar anchal mean chhipaye hue sarala dev-mandir mean pahuanchi. ghanta apane dambh ka ghor nad kar raha tha. chandan aur kesar ki chahal-pahal ho rahi thi. aguru-dhoop-gandh se toran aur prachir paripoorn tha. sthan-sthan par svarn-shrriangar aur rajat ke naivedy-patr, b di-b di aratiyaan, phool-changer sajaye hue dhare the. dev-pratima ratn-abhooshanoan se ladi huee thi.
sarala ne bhi d mean ghus kar usaka darshan kiya aur dekha ki vahaan mallika ki mala, parijat ke har, malati ki malika, aur bhi anek prakar ke saurabhit suman dev-pratima ke padatal mean vikirn haian. shatadal lot rahe haian aur kala ki abhivyaktipoorn dev-pratima ke oshthadhar mean ratn ki jyoti ke sath bijali-si musakyan-rekha khel rahi thi, jaise un phooloan ka upahas kar rahi ho. sarala ko yahi vidit hua ki phooloan ki yahaan ginati nahian, poochh nahian. sarala apane pani-pallav mean parnaput liye kone mean kh di ho gayi.
bhaktavrind apane naivedy, upahar devata ko arpan karate the, ratn-khand, svarn-mudraean devata ke charanoan mean girati thian. pujari bhaktoan ko phal-phooloan ka prasad dete the. ve prasann hokar jate the. sarala se n raha gaya. usane apane ardh-vikasit phooloan ka parn-put khola bhi nahian. b di lajja se, jisamean koee dekhe nahian, jyoan-ka-tyoan, pheank diya; parantu vah gira thik devata ke charanoan par. pujari ne sab ki aankh bacha kar rakh liya. sarala phir kone mean jakar kh di ho gayi. der tak darshakoan ka ana, darshan karana, ghante ka bajana, phooloan ka rauand, chandan-kesar ki kich aur ratn-svarn ki kri da hoti rahi. sarala chupachap kh di dekhati rahi.
shayan arati ka samay hua. darshak bahar ho gaye. ratn-jatit svarn arati lekar pujari ne arati arambh karane ke pahale dev-pratima ke pas ke phool hataye. ratn-abhooshan utare, upahar ke svarn-ratn batore. moorti nagn aur viral-shrriangar thi. akasmath pujari ka dhyan us parn-put ki or gaya. usane khol kar un tho de-se ardh-vikasit kusumoan ko, jo avahelana se sookha hi chahate the, bhagavanh ke nagn sharir par yathavakash saja diya. kee janm ka atritp shilpi hi jaise pujari hokar aya hai. moorti ki poornata ka udyog kar raha hai. shilpi ki shesh kala ki poorti ho gayi. pujari vishesh bhavapann hokar arati karane laga. sarala ko dekhakar bhi kisi ne n dekha, n poochha ki ‘tum is samay mandir mean kyoan ho?’
arati ho rahi thi, bahar ka ghanta baj raha tha. sarala man mean soch rahi thi, maian do-char phool-patte hi lekar ayi. parantu chadhane ka, arpan karane ka hriday mean gaurav tha. dan ki so bhi kise! bhagavan ko! man mean utsah tha. parantu hay! ‘prasad’ ki asha ne, shubh kamana ke badale ki lipsa ne mujhe chhota banakar abhi tak rok rakkha. sab darshak chale gaye, maian kh di hooan, kis lie. apane unhian arpan kiye hue do-char phool lauta lene ke lie, ‘‘to chalooan.’’
akasmath arati band huee. sarala ne jane ke lie asha ka utsarg karake ek bar dev-pratima ki or dekha. dekha ki usake phool bhagavan ke aang par sushobhit haian. vah thithak gayi. pujari ne sahasa ghoom kar dekha aur kaha,-‘‘are tum! abhi yahian ho, tumhean prasad nahian mila, lo.’’ jan mean ya anajan mean, pujari ne bhagavanh ki ekavali sarala ke nat gale mean dal di! pratima prasann hokar hans p di.
