वेणु का विनाश

dhruv jab shrihari ke lok mean jane lage, to ve apane jyeshth putr ko rajy sauanp ge the. unake jyeshth putr ka nam kalp tha. bahut se log use utkal bhi kahate the. utkal ki saansarik sukhoan aur rajy mean bilkul roochi nahian thi. vah virakt tha, samadarshi tha. use apane aur doosaroan mean bilakul bhed maloom nahian hota tha. vah apane hi bhitar samast praniyoan ko dekhata tha. atah usane rajasianhasan par baithane se inkar kar diya. jab dhruv ke jyeshth putr ne rajasianhasan par baithane se inkar kar diya to dhruv ka kanishth putr rajasianhasan par baitha. vah b da dharmatma aur buddhiman tha. usane bahut dinoan tak rajy kiya. usake rajy mean charoan or shaanti thi. praja ko b da sukh tha.

vatsar ke hi vansh mean ek aisa raja utpann hua jo dharm ki pratimoorti tha. vah satyavrati aur b da shooravir tha. jis prakar basant rritu mean prakriti phooli, phali rahati hai, usi prakar us raja ke rajy mean praja phooli aur phali rahati thi. us raja ka nam aang tha. aang ki kirti−chaandani charoan or chhitaki huee thi. chhote−b de sabhi usake yash ka gan karate the. vah punyatma to tha hi, b da prajapalak bhi tha. usaki praja usaka adar usi prakar karati thi, jis prakar log devataoan ka adar karate haian.

ek bar aang ne ek bahut b de yajn ki rachana ki. yajn mean b de−b de rrishi−muni aur vidvan brahman bulae ge the. yajn ke lie pavitr sthanoan se chun−chunakar samagriyaan mangayi gayian thian. tirthasthanoan se jal mangaya gaya tha. shuddh aur pavitr lak diyaan ikatthi ki gee thian. kiantu vidvan brahmanoan ne vedmantroan ke sath devataoan ko ahutiyaan dian to devataoan ne un ahutiyoan ko lena asvikar kar diya. keval yahi nahian, prarthanapoorvak bulae jane par bhi devatagan bhag lene ke lie nahian ae. vidvan brahmanoan ne chiantit hokar kaha, 'maharaj! yajn ki samagriyaan pavitr haian, jal bhi shuddh hai aur yajn karane vale brahman bhi shuddh tatha charitranishth haian kiantu phir bhi devagan ahutiyoan ko svikar nahian kar rahe haian, mantroan se abhimantrit kie jane par bhi apana bhag lene ke lie nahian a rahe haian.' vidvan brahmnoan ke kathan ko sunakar maharaj aang chiantit aur duahkhi ho uthe. unhoanne duahkh bhare svar mean kaha, 'poojy brahmanoan, yah to b de duahkh ki bat hai. kya mujhase koee aparadh hua hai ya mujhase koee dooshit karm hua hai? maianne to apani samajh mean aj tak koee aisa kary kiya nahian.'

vidvan brahmnoan ne uttar mean kaha, 'ap to b de dharmatma aur punyatma haian. koee soch bhi nahian sakata ki apake dvara kabhi koee pap karm hua hoga. is janm mean to apane kabhi koee dooshit karm kiya nahian. ho sakata hai, poorvajanm mean apane koee pap karm kiya ho. manushy ko poorvajanm mean kie hue achchhe aur bure karmoan ka phal bhi bhogana p data hai.' maharaj aang ne duahkh ke sath nivedan kiya, 'yajn mandap mean b de−b de vidvan brahman aur rrishi v muni ekatr haian. yahaan aise bhi rrishi aur muni haian jo tinoan kaloan ke jnata haian. meri prarthana hai ki ve mujhe avagat karaean, is janm mean ya poorvajanm mean mujhase kaun−sa dooshit karm hua hai?' maharaj aang ki prarthana ko sunakar rrishigan vicharoan mean doob ge. kuchh kshanoan ke pashchat rrishiyoan ne kaha, 'maharaj, is janm mean ya poorvajanm mean apase koee pap karm nahian hua hai. sach bat to yah hai ki ap putrahin haian. jo putrahin hota hai, devagan usake yajn ki ahutiyaan svikar nahian karate. atah yadi ap devataoan ko prasann karana chahate haian, to sarvapratham putr ki prapti ke lie yajn karean. jab tak ap putr prapt nahian kar leange, devagan apaki ahutiyoan ko svikar nahian kareange.' rrishiyoan aur muniyoan ki salah se maharaj aang ne putreshti yajn kiya. yajnakuand mean ek divy purush prakat hua jo apane hathoan mean khir ka patr lie hue tha. usane khir ke patr ko maharaj aang ki or badhate hue kaha, 'maharaj, patr ki khir ko apani rani ko khila dijie. apako avashyamev putr ki prapti hogi.'

divy purush aang ko khir ka patr dekar adrishy ho gaya. aang ki prasannata ki sima nahian thi. unhoanne patr ki khir ko apani rani ko khila diya. rani garbhavati hueean. unhoanne samay par ek balak ko janm diya. jyotishiyoan ne balak ki kundali banakar, usake grahoan ke anusar usaka nam venu rakha. venu ka arth hota hai − baans. jahaan baans paida hota hai, vahaan doosare paudhe paida nahian hote. yoan bhi kaha ja sakata hai ki, baans doosare paudhoan ko ugane nahian deta hai. baansoan ki rag d se kabhi−kabhi ag lag jati hai to sare baans apani hi ag mean jal jaya karate haian v doosaroan ko bhi jala dete haian. venu ki kundali mean bhi isi prakar ke grah p de the. venu dhire−dhire b da hua. vah jab b da hua, to aang ke ulate raste par chalane laga. jua khelane laga, madyapan karane laga aur parayi striyoan ki lajja ko lootane laga. usake atyacharoan se praja kaanp uthi. aang ke kanoan mean jab venu ke bure karmoan ke samachar p de, to ve b de duahkhi hue. unhoanne venu ko samajhane ka prayatn kiya, kiantu vah kyoan manane laga? usaki janmakundali mean to grah hi bure p de the. kisi ne thik hi kaha hai−

phoolahi phalahian n beant, jadapi sudha barasahian jalad.
moorakh hriday n chet, jo guru milahian viranch sam..

aang ke bahut samajhane par bhi jab venu ne bure karmoan ka parityag nahian kiya, to ve b de duahkhi hue. ve sab kuchh chho dakar tap karane ke lie van mean chale ge. manushy ka jab koee bas nahian chalata, to vah eeshvar ko chho dakar aur kisi ka sahara nahian leta. maharaj ke chale jane par venu rajasianhasan par asin hua. vah atichari aur avichari to pahale se hi tha, jab rajasianhasan par baitha, to usake bure vicharoan ko pankh lag ge. vah apane ap ko sarveshvar aur akhileshvar samajhane laga. usane apane rajy mean charoan or adeshapatr pracharit kiya− 'koee bhi manushy yajn n kare, pooja−path n kare, eeshvar ka nam n le, eeshvar ke gunoan ka gunagan n kare. jo manushy aisa karega, use dand diya jaega. pratyek prajajan ko eeshvar ki jagah par venu ki hi pooja karani chahie. venu ke hi yash−gunoan ka gan karana chahie, kyoanki venu hi paramatma hai, akhileshvar hai.' venu ki ghoshana ne sare rajy mean halachal utpann ki di. kiantu koee kar kya sakata tha? usake sainik aur sipahi rajy mean charoan or ghoom−ghoomakar usaki ajna ka palan karava rahe the. jo manushy usake adesh ka ullanghan karata tha, use talavar ke ghat utar diya jata tha, usake ghar ko jala diya jata tha. venu aur usake sipahiyoan ke atyacharoan se charoan or hahakar paida ho utha, duahkh aur pi da ke badal chha ge.

rajy mean rahane vale rrishi, muni aur brahman chiantit ho uthe. ve venu ko samajhane ke lie usaki seva mean upasthit hue. unhoanne venu ko samajhate hue kaha, 'maharaj, ap jo kuchh kar rahe haian, vah apake poorvajoan ke viparit hai. apake poorvajoan mean svayanbhoo manu aur dhruv praja ko putravat manate the. ve praja ka palan karana hi apana sabase b da dharm samajhate the. apake poorvaj eeshvaranuragi the. ve apane ko eeshvar ka tuchchh sevak samajhate the. jo raja praja ka palan nahian karata, use nark ki yatana bhogani p dati hai.' kiantu venu ke hriday par rrishiyoan aur muniyoan ke kathan ka kuchh bhi prabhav nahian p da. vah unake kathan ke uttar mean bola, 'rrishiyoan, raja ke sharir mean devata vas karate haian. atah vahi sarvashreshth hai. praja ko usi ka gunanuvad karana chahie, usi ko sarveshvar manana chahie. maianne jo kuchh kiya hai, thik hi kiya hai. tum sabako meri ajna ka palan karana chahie. mere bataye hue marg par chalana chahie.' venu ka khara uttar sunakar rrishiyoan aur muniyoan ne socha, venu ke hriday par kisi bhi bat ka koee prabhav nahian p dega. manushy jab unmatt ho jata hai, to vah apane hathoan se hi apana vinash kar dalata hai.

rrishi aur munigan duahkhi hokar van mean chale ge. venu nidar hokar papachar se khelane laga. atyachar ka vyapar karane laga. praja usake atyacharoan se duahkhi hokar karun krandan karane lagi, chitkar karane lagi, sakarun svaroan mean bhagavan ko pukarane lagi. praja ki pukar rrishiyoan ke karnakuharoan mean p di. rrishiyoan ne ekatr hokar socha, venu jab tak jivit rahega, usaka atyachar band n hoga. atah use mar dalana chahie. atyachari aur adharmi ko mar dalane se pap nahian lagata. rrishiyoan aur muniyoan ne apane mantroan ki shakti se venu ko mrityu ke mukh mean pahuancha diya. jo atyachar karata hai, jo adharm ke path par chalata hai, ek n ek din sajjanoan ke hathoan se venu ke saman hi mara jata hai.
