jila banaras mean bira nam ka ek gaanv hai. vahaan ek vidhava vriddha, santanahin, goan din rahati thi, jisaka bhunagi nam tha. usake pas ek dhur bhi zamin n thi aur n rahane ka ghar hi tha. usake jivan ka sahara keval ek bha d tha. gaanv ke log prayah ek bela chabaina ya sattoo par nirvah karate hi haian, isalie bhunagi ke bha d par nity bhi d lagi rahati thi. vah jo kuchh bhunaee pati vahi bhoon ya pis kar kha leti aur bha d hi ki jhoanp di ke ek kone mean p d rahati. vah pratahkal uthati aur charoan or se bha d jhoankane ke lie sookhi pattiyaan bator lati. bha d ke pas hi, pattiyoan ka ek b da dher laga rahata tha. dopahar ke bad usaka bha d jalata tha. lekin jab ekadashi ya poornamasi ke din prathanusar bha d n jalata, ya gaanv ke zamiandar pandit udayabhan paande ke dane bhoonane p date, us din use bhookhe hi so rahana p data tha. pandit ji usase begar mean dane hi n bhunavate the, use unake ghar ka pani bhi bharana p data tha. aur kabhi-kabhi is hetu se bhi bha d band rahata tha. vah pandit ji ke gaanv mean rahati thi, isalie unhean usase sabhi prakar ki begar lene ka adhikar tha. use anyay nahian kaha ja sakata. anyay keval itana tha ki begar sookhi lete the. unaki dharana yah thi ki jab khane hi ko diya gaya to begar kaisi. kisan ko adhikar hai ki bailoan ko din bhar jotane ke bad sham ko khooante se bhookha baandh de. yadi vah aisa nahian karata to yah usaki dayaluta nahian hai, keval apani hit chinta hai. pandit ji ko usaki chianta n thi kyoanki ek to bhunagi do-ek din bhookhi rahane se mar nahian sakati thi aur yadi daivayog se mar bhi jati to usaki jagah doosara goan d b di asani se basaya ja sakata tha. pandit ji ki yahi kya kam kripa thi ki vah bhunagi ko apane gaanv mean basaye hue the.

chait ka mahina tha aur sankraanti ka parv. aj ke din naye ann ka sattoo khaya aur dan diya jata hai. gharoan mean ag nahian jalati. bhunagi ka bha d aj b de joroan par tha. usake samane ek mela-sa laga hua tha. saans lene ka bhi avakash n tha. gahakoan ki jaldabaji par kabhi-kabhi jhuanjhala p dati thi, ki itane mean zamiandar sahab ke yahaan se do b de-b de tokare anaj se bhare hue a pahuanche aur hukm hua ki abhi bhoon de. bhunagi donoan tokare dekh kar saham uthi. abhi dopahar tha par sooryast ke pahale itana anaj bhunana asanbhav tha. gh di-do-gh di aur mil jate to ek athavare ke khane bhar ko anaj hath ata. daiv se itana bhi n dekha gaya, in yamadootoan ko bhej diya. ab pahar rat tak seantameant mean bha d mean jalana p dega; ek nairashy bhav se donoan tokare le liye.

chaparasi ne daant kar kaha- der n lage, nahian to tum janogi.

bhunagi- yahian baithe raho, jab bhun jay to le kar jana. kisi doosare ke dane chhuooan to hath kat lena.

chaparasi- baithane ki hamean chhutti nahian hai, lekin tisare pahar tak dana bhun jay.

chaparasi to yah takid karake chalate bane aur bhunagi anaj bhoonane lagi. lekin man bhar anaj bhoonana koee hansi to thi nahian, us par bich-bich mean bhunaee band karake bha d bhi jhoankana p data tha. atev tisara pahar ho gaya aur adha kam bhi n hua. use bhay hua ki zamiandar ke adami ate hoange. ate hi galiyaan deange, mareange. usane aur veg se hath chalana shuroo kiya. raste ki or takati aur baloo naand mean chho dati jati thi. yahaan tak ki baloo thandi ho gayi, sev de nikalane lage. usaki samajh mean n ata tha, kya kare. n bhoonate banata tha n chho date banata tha. sochane lagi kaisi vipatti hai. pandit ji kaun meri rotiyaan chala dete haian, kaun mere aansoo poanchh dete haian. apana rakt jalati hooan tab kahian dana milata hai. lekin jab dekho khop di par savar rahate haian, isalie n ki unaki char aangul dharati se mera nistar ho raha hai. kya itani-si zamin ka itana mol hai ? aise kitane hi tuk de gaanv mean bekam p de haian, kitani bakhariyaan uja d p di huee haian. vahaan to kesar nahian upajati phir mujhi par kyoan yah athoan pahar dhauans rahati hai. koee bat huee aur yah dhamaki mili ki bha d khod kar pheank dooanga, uja d dooanga, mere sir par bhi koee hota to kya bauchharean sahani p datian.

vah inhian kutsit vicharoan mean p di huee thi ki donoan chaparasiyoan ne akar karkash svar mean kaha- kyoan ri, dane bhun gaye.

bhunagi ne nidar ho kar kaha- bhoon to rahi hooan. dekhate nahian ho.

chaparasi- sara din bit gaya aur tumase itana anaj n bhoona gaya ? yah too dana bhoon rahi hai ki use chaupat kar rahi hai. yah to bilakul sev de haian, inaka sattoo kaise banega. hamara satyanash kar diya. dekh to aj maharaj teri kya gati karate haian.

parinam yah hua ki usi rat ko bha d khod dala gaya aur vah abhagini vidhava niravalamb ho gayi.

bhunagi ko ab rotiyoan ka koee sahara n raha. gaanvavaloan ko bhi bha d ke vidhvans ho jane se bahut kasht hone laga. kitane hi gharoan mean dopahar ko dana hi n mayassar hota. logoan ne ja kar pandit ji se kaha ki budhiya ko bha d jalane ki ajna de dijie, lekin pandit ji ne kuchh dhyan n diya. vah apana rob n ghata sakate the. budhiya se usake kuchh shubhachiantakoan ne anurodh kiya ki ja kar kisi doosare gaanv mean kyoan nahian bas jati. lekin usaka hriday is prastav ko svikar n karata. is gaanv mean usane apane adin ke pachas varsh kate the. yahaan ke ek-ek pe d-patte se use prem ho gaya tha ! jivan ke sukh-duahkh isi gaanv mean bhoge the. ab aantim samay vah ise kaise tyag de ! yah kalpana hi use sankatamay jan p dati thi. doosare gaanv ke sukh se yahaan ka duahkh bhi pyara tha.

is prakar ek poora mahina gujar gaya. pratahkal tha. pandit udayabhan apane do-tin chaparasiyoan ko liye lagan vasool karane ja rahe the. kariandoan par unhean vishvas n tha. najarane mean, daan d-baandh mean, rasoom mean vah kisi any vyakti ko sharik n karate the. budhiya ke bha d ki or taka to badan mean ag-si lag gayi. usaka punaruddhar ho raha tha. budhiya b de veg se us par mitti ke loande rakh rahi thi. kadachith usane kuchh rat rahate hi kam mean hath laga diya tha aur sooryoday se pahale hi use samapt kar dena chahati thi. use leshamatr bhi shanka n thi ki maian zamiandar ke viruddh koee kam kar rahi hooan. krodh itana chirajivi ho sakata hai isaka samadhan bhi usake man mean n tha. ek pratibhashali purush kisi din abala se itana kina rakh sakata hai use usaka dhyan bhi n tha. vah svabhavatah manav-charitr ko isase kahian ooancha samajhati thi. lekin ha ! hatabhagini ! toone dhoop mean hi bal saphed kiye.

sahasa udayabhan ne garaj kar kaha- kisake hukm se ?

bhunagi ne hakabaka kar dekha to samane zamiandar mahoday kh de haian.

udayabhan ne phir poochha- kisake hukm se bana rahi hai ?

bhunagi darate hue boli- sab log kahane lage bana lo, to bana rahi hooan.

udayabhan- maian abhi ise phir khudava dalooanga. yah kah unhoanne bha d mean ek thokar mari. gili mitti sab kuchh liye diye baith gayi. doosari thokar naand par chalayi lekin budhiya samane a gayi aur thokar usaki kamar par p di. ab use krodh aya. kamar sahalate hue boli- maharaj, tumhean adami ka dar nahian hai to bhagavanh ka dar to hona chahie. mujhe is tarah uja d kar kya paoge ? kya is char aangul dharati mean sona nikal ayega ? maian tumhare hi bhale ki kahati hooan, din ki hay mat lo. mera roaan dukhi mat karo.

udayabhan- ab to yahaan phir bha d n banayegi.

bhunagi- bha d n banaooangi to khaooangi kya ?

udayabhan- tere pet ka hamane theka nahian liya hai.

bhunagi- tahal to tumhari karati hooan khane kahaan jaooan ?

udayabhan- gaanv mean rahogi to tahal karani p degi.

bhunagi- tahal to tabhi karooangi jab bha d banaooangi. gaanv mean rahane ke nate tahal nahian kar sakati.

udayabhan- to chho d kar nikal ja.

bhunagi- kyoan chho d kar nikal jaooan. barah sal khet jotane se asami kashtakar ho jata hai. maian to is jhoanp de mean boodhi ho gayi. mere sas-sasur aur unake bap-dade isi jhoanp de mean rahe. ab ise yamaraj ko chho d kar aur koee mujhase nahian le sakata.

udayabhan- achchha to ab qanoon bhi bagharane lagi. hath-pair p dati to chahe maian rahane bhi deta, lekin ab tujhe nikal kar tabhi dam looanga. (chaparasiyoan se) abhi ja kar usake pattiyoan ke dher mean ag laga do, dekhean kaise bha d banata hai.

ek kshan mean hahakar mach gaya. jvala-shikhar akash se batean karane laga. usaki lapatean kisi unmatt ki bhaanti idhar-udhar dau dane lagian. sare gaanv ke log us agni-parvat ke charoan or jama ho gaye. bhunagi apane bha d ke pas udasin bhav mean kh di yah lankadahan dekhati rahi. akasmath vah veg se a kar usi agni-kuand mean kood p di. log charoan taraph se dau de, lekin kisi ki himmat n p di ki ag ke muanh mean jay. kshanamatr mean usaka sookha hua sharir agni mean samavisht ho gaya.

usi dam pavan bhi veg se chalane laga. oordhvagami lapatean poorv disha ki or dau dane lagian. bha d ke samip hi kisanoan ki kee jhoanp diyaan thian, vah sab unmatt jvalaoan ka gras ban gayian. is bhaanti protsahit hokar lapatean aur age badhian. samane pandit udayabhan ki bakhar thi, us par jhapatian. ab gaanv mean halachal p di. ag bujhane ki taiyariyaan hone lagian. lekin pani ke chhiantoan ne ag par tel ka kam kiya. jvalaean aur bh dakian aur pandit ji ke vishal bhavan ko daboch baithian. dekhate hi dekhate vah bhavan us nauka ki bhaanti jo unmatt tarangoan ke bich mean jhakore kha rahi ho, agni-sagar mean vilin ho gaya aur vah krandan-dhvani jo usake bhasmavashesh mean prasphutit hone lagi, bhunagi ke shokamay vilap se bhi adhik karunakari thi.
