maian jo kahata hooan, vah karo. tumase jitana uthaya ja sake, utha lo. bhikshuk dar raha tha ki kahian usane anaj bhar liya aur bhola ne gathari n uthane di, to kitani bhadd hogi. aur bhikshukoan ko hansane ka avasar mil jayaga. sab yahi kaheange ki bhikshuk kitana lobhi hai. use aur anaj bharane ki himmat n p di. tab sujan bhagat ne chadar le kar usamean anaj bhara aur gathari baandh kar bole —  ise utha le jao. bhikshuk , baba, itana to mujhase uth n sakega. bhagat , are ! itana bhi n uth sakega ! bahut hoga to man bhar. bhala jor to lagao, dekhooan, utha sakate ho ya nahian. bhikshuk ne gathari ko ajamaya. bhari thi. jagah se hili bhi nahian. bola —  bhagat ji, yah mujh se n uth sakegi ! bhagat , achchha, batao kis gaanv mean rahate ho ? bhikshuk , b di door hai bhagat ji; amola ka nam to suna hoga ! bhagat , achchha, age-age chalo, maian pahuancha dooanga. yah kahakar bhagat ne zor laga kar gathari uthayi aur sir par rakh kar bhikshuk ke pichhe ho liye. dekhane vale bhagat ka yah paurush dekh kar chakit ho gaye. unhean kya maloom tha ki bhagat par is samay kaun-sa nasha tha. ath mahine ke nirantar aviral parishram ka aj unhean phal mila tha. aj unhoanne apana khoya hua adhikar phir paya tha. vahi talavar, jo kele ko bhi nahian kat sakati, san par chadh kar lohe ko kat deti hai. manav-jivan mean lag b de mahattv ki vastu hai. jisamean lag hai, vah boodha bhi ho to javan hai. jisamean lag nahian, gairat nahian, vah javan bhi mritak hai. sujan bhagat mean lag thi aur usi ne unhean amanushiy bal pradan kar diya tha. chalate samay unhoanne bhola ki or sagarv netroan se dekha aur bole —  ye bhat aur bhikshuk kh de haian, koee khali hath n lautane paye. bhola sir jhukaye kh da tha, use kuchh bolane ka hausala n hua. vriddh pita ne use parast kar diya tha.
