भरत मिलाप

bharat ko jab pata chala ki mata kaikeyi ne unhean rajasianhasan par baithane ke lie ram ko 14 varsh ka vanavas dilaya hai, to vah mata se bhala-bura kahane lage aur ram ko vapas lane ke lie van ki or chal die. udhar van mean prakritik shobha se yukt darshaniy sthal chitrakoot parvat par nivas karate huye ram sita prakritik chhata ka anand le rahe the, sahasa unhean chaturangini sena ka kolahal sunaee diya aur vany pashu idhar-udhar bhagate hue dikhayi die. yah dekhakar ram lakshman se bole, aisa pratit hota hai ki is van-pradesh mean vany pashuoan ke akhet hetu kisi raja ya rajakumar ka agaman hua hai. tum jakar isaka pata lagao.'

lakshman turant ek ooanche vriksh par chadh gaye. unhoanne dekha, uttar disha se ek vishal sena, hathi, gho doan aur astr-shastroan se susajjit sainikoan ke sath chali a rahi hai, jisake age ayodhya ki pataka lahara rahi thi. lakshman samajh gaye ki vah ayodhya ki sena hai. ram ke pas akar krodh se lakshman ne kaha, 'bhaiya! kaikeyi ka putr bharat sena lekar idhar chala a raha hai. vah van mean akela pakar hamara vadh kar dena chahata hai jisase nishkantak hokar ayodhya par rajy kar sake. maian is bharat ko usake papoan ka phal chakhauanga.'

ram ne kaha, 'lakshman! tum ye kaisi batean kar rahe ho? bharat to mujhe pranoan se bhi priy hai. avashy hi vah mujhe ayodhya vapas le jane ke liye aya hoga. bharat mean aur mujhamean koee aantar nahian hai, tumane jo kathor shabd bharat ke liye kahe haian, ve vastav mean mere liye kahe haian. kisi bhi sthiti mean putr pita ke aur bhaee - bhaee ke pran nahian leta.' ram ki bhartsana sunakar lakshman bole, 'he prabhu! sena ke sath pita ji ka shvet chhatr nahian haian. isi se mujhe ashanka huee. mujhe kshama karean.'

parvat ke pas apani sena ko chho dakar bharat - shatrughn ram ki kutiya ki or chale. unhoanne dekha, yajn vedi ke pas mrigachhala par jatadhari ram vakkal dharan kiye baithe haian. ve dau dakar rote huye ram ke pas pahuanche. 'he ary' kahakar ve ram ke charanoan mean gir gaye. shatrughn ki bhi yahi avastha thi. ram ne donoan bhaiyoan ko hriday se lagaya aur poochha, 'pitaji tatha mataean kushal se haian na? kulaguru vasishth kaise haian? tumane tapasviyoan jaisa vakkal kyoan dharan kiya hai?'

ramachandr ke vachan sun bharat ashrupoorit bole, 'bhaiya! hamare dharmaparayan pita svarg sidhar gaye. meri mata ne jo pap kiya hai, usake karan mujh par bhari kalank laga hai, maian kisi ko apana mukh nahian dikha sakata. maian apaki sharan mean a gaya hooan. ap ayodhya ka rajy sanbhal kar mera uddhar karean. sampoorn mantrimandal, tinoan mataean, guru vasishth adi sab yahi prarthana lekar apake pase aye haian. maian apaka chhota bhaee, apake putr ke saman hooan, mata ke dvara mujh par lagaye gaye kalank ko dhokar meri raksha karean.' jab ram-bharat milap hua to bharat ram se lipatakar rone lage. vah drishy bahut marmik tha. bharat ne ram se kaha ki ayodhya par raj karane ka adhikar sirph apako hai, apaki jagah koee bhi nahian le sakata aur ram se ayodhya vapas chalane ki jid karane lage.

is drishy mean bhaeeyoan ke bich prem ki parakashtha ko darshaya gaya hai. ram ne kaha ki maine pitaji ko vachan diya hai ki maian 14 varsh ka vanavas poora karake hi ayodhya lautooanga. tab bharat ram ki 'charan padukaean' sir par rakhakar ayodhya le ae aur unhean sianhasan par rakhakar sevak ke roop mean rajakaj sanbhalane lage.
