Maine chitra ki dead body ko mukhagni di…aag lagte hi chitra ka maya roopi sharir kahi vileen ho gaya panch tatvo me aur vo mujhse door kahi bahut door hoti chali gayi…lekin uske antim shabd ab tak mere kano me goonj rahe the..
"Rukhsat Huye Teri Gali Se,
Hum Aaj Kuch Iss Kadar..
Sab Logo Ke Muh Par Ram Naam Hai,
Aur Mere Dil Me Bas Tera Hi Naam Hai.”
Ab aage…….
Chitra ke antim sanskar ke pashchat hum mahal lout aaye….logo ne hamara abhivadan kiya aur apne gaon me chalne ko kaha to maine agle din aane ko kah kar unhe vida kiya.
Sabhi ka mann aaj vyathit tha to sabne halka fulka dinner kar ke sone chale gaye…aaj mere paas agni aayi to hum dono raat bhar chitra ke hi vishay me baate karte huye subah neend ki agosh me chale gaye.
Agle din hum sab unn sabhi gaon vasiyo se mil kar unhe samjhaya ki ab iss gaon me rahne me koi pareshani nahi hogi..din bhar unke sath bitane ke baad hum agni ke mata pita se milne gaye...unse mil kar agle din hum vapis apne ghar lout aaye.
Anand aur ajeet business ki vajah se sath nahi gaye the….sanjay bhaiya ki mout se unhe bhi sadma laga tha…abhi raat me mere paas agni hi humbistar ho rahi thi…kuch din aise hi nikal gaye.
Rajnandini—rishi, parilok kab chalna hai...akhir sona ki jaan bhi to bachani hai...beshak usne galat hi kiya ho kintu ye bhi to utna hi sach hai ki usne ek bar tumhe bachane ki khatir hi apni jaan gawayi thi..
Adii—jaldi hi...papa, aap yaha ka business kisi ko hand over kar do....ab hum sab parilok me hi rahenge.
Anand—theek hai beta…main jaldi hi india aur foreign me alag alag director appoint kar deta hu jo meri absence me business handle karte rahenge..
Adii—ok,papa…beech beech me hum yaha aate rahenge..
Ajeet—jaisa tum kaho beta…vaise bhi ab hum tumhare bina nahi rahna chahte..
Uske baad kuch din dino me sara intazam ho jane ke baad hum sabne parilok jane ka faisla kar liya…maine jane se pahle kanak rishi se mailne ka soch kar dusre din vaha unke ashram me pahuch gaya rajnandini ke sath.
Adii—pranam gurudev
Rajnandini—pranam gurudev
Kanak—tum dono ka kalyan ho.
Adii—main apne pariwar sahit parilok ja raha hu…isliye aapse milna uchit samjha jane se pahle..akhir apki vajah se hi to mujhe naya jeevan mila hai.
Kanak—ye to bahut achcha kiya tumne..
Rajnandini—mere rishi ko bacha kar aapne mere upar jo upkar kiya hai, uske liye main apki sadaiv abhari rahungi.. aaj apki vajah se hi mujhe rishi ke sath sath meri beti bhi mujhe mil gayi hai.
Kanak—nahi putri, sach to ye hai ki uski raksha tumhare sachche prem ne ki hai…tumhare sachche prem aur vishwash ki dor ne uske dimag ko jeevant rakha aur aaj uska parinam tumhare samne hai putri…tumhara ye vishwash hi uski sabse badi shakti hai…kintu..
Rajnandini—kintu kya rishivar…?
Kanak—main sirf itna hi kahna chahta hu putri ki apna ye vishwash hamesh kayam rakhna kyon ki mushkile abhi khatam nahi huyi hain….azgar aur kilwish ke rahte pareshaniya kabhi khatam bhi nahi hongi…isliye sabse pahle putra tumne jin saat loko ko basaya tha unn par apna aadhipatya punah sthapit karo aur apni shakiyo ko badhao kyon ki azgar ke vishay me to tumhe bhalibhanti gyat hi hai magar ab kilwish bhi pahle ki apeksha adhik shaktishali ho chuka hai, use bhi harana itna asaan nahi hoga.
Adii—jaisi apki agya gurudev
Kanak—tumhara kalyan ho…parilok pahuch kar apne dono guru rishi ashtavakra aur vishwamitra ji ka dhyan karna mat bhulna, vo tumhara marg darshan karenge..
Adii/ rajnandini—pranam gurudev…ab hame prasthan ki agya de..
Kanak rishi se milne ke pashchat hum vapis ghar lout aaye...maine agle din pari lok jane ke baare me sab ko bata diya...aaj ka baki samay maine margret aur shree didi ke sath bitaya.
Shree didi, ab pahle ki tulna me utna vichlit to nahi thi par phir bhi apne prem ko le kar chintit kuch jarur thi..maine unhe samjha bujha kar unke mann ko shant kiya.
Shree—tu maa se kab baat karega... ? aur sabse badi baat tune khud abhi tak mujhe I love you nahi bola hai..aaj main tere sath sone aungi..
Adii—dekho didi...main aapse pahle hi kah chuka hu ki iss baare me waqt aane par hi hum baat karenge...jab niyati ne nirdharit kar hi diya hai sab kuch to main koun hota hu beech me ha ya na karne wala... ? jo kuch hona hai vo to hoga hi...kintu jab tak rajnandini iss rishte ko swikar nahi kar leti tab tak hamare beech sirf bhai bahan ya baap beti ka rishta hi rahega premi premika ka nahi...ye aap apne dimag me achchi tarah baitha lijiye...
Shree—main janti hu ki maa ko jab ye malum chalega ki main unke pati yani ki apne hi baap se shadi karna chahti hu to unhe kitna dard hoga...kintu agar vo iss rishte ke liye taiyar nahi huyi to main kaise jee paungi... ? tum maa ko bata do na..
Adii—intazar karo didi...
Shree—vahi to kar rahi hu...intazar
Aaj raat me bhi rajnandini hi mere paas aayi kintu aaj bhi hamare beech kuch bhi nahi hua…balki usne radha aur mere dost ki bahan priyamvada se milne ki ichcha jahir ki to hum adrishya ho kar unse milne chale gaye.
Sabse pahle hum munish se milne uske yaha gaye…mujhe rajnandini ke sath vaha dekh kar vah behad khush hua.. lekin bhabhi ji nazar nahi aa rahi thi.
Adii—bhabhi ji kaha hain, dikh nahi rahi hain…?
Munish—dost, tum apni bhabhi ke piche kyo pade rahte ho jab dekho…uska bhi kalyan kar doge kya…? Mitra use to mere liye chhod do.
Rajnandini—rishi ne mujhe aap ke baare me sab bata diya hai…mujhe apni choti bahan priyamvada se milna hai.. kaha hai vo... ?
Munish—vo meri maa ke paas hai..chaliye main bhi chalta hu..
Hum dono munish ke sath uski maa ke ghar aa gaye jaha munish ne apni patni aur maa se rajnandini ka parichay karaya…mujhe vaha dekh kar priyamvada behad khush huyi aur thoda chintit bhi ki kya pata rajnandini use swikar karegi ya nahi…? Kintu rajnandini ne uske mann ki baat ko samajhte huye uski ye tension door kar di.
Rajnandini—tumhe pareshan hone ki jarurat nahi hai priyamvada…rishi ne mujhe tumhare vishay me sab bata diya hai…tum jarur mere rishi ki patni banogi…
Priyamvada (gale lag kar)—didi…
Dono kafi der tak ek dusre se baate karti rahi aur main apni hone wali salhaj aur saas se baat karne me lag gaya... maine pari lok me hi shadi ka prastav rakha jise swikar kar liya gaya.
Uske baad hum radha se milne chale gaye, iss bar sath me priyamvada bhi thi...vo bhi hamse mil kar bahut khush huyi vishesh kar rajnandini ke swabhav ne use kafi prabhavit kiya...unse mil kar sab guru vishwamitra ji ke ashram gaye unke darshan karte hetu.
Sab—pranam gurudev
Vishwamitra—kalyan ho.
Maine guru vishwamitra ji ko parilok jane ke vishay me avgat kara diya, sath hi rajyabhishek ke samay unhe vaha upasthit rahne ka bhi anurodh kiya jise unhone swikar bhi kar liya…unse vida le kar hum apne ghar vapis lout aaye, priyamvada aur radha bhi hamare sath hi thi.
Agle din jab sab ne unn dono ko dekha to chounk gayi, phir rajnandini se unko bhi sab samjha diya…dono maa apni nayi bahuo se mil kar khush ho gayi…shaam ko hum pari lok chale gaye.
Idhar hamari har ghatna kram par jaykaal, damdami mayi aur jhingalala nazar rakh rahe the jiski ki hame tanik bhi bhanak nahi thi…azgar har jagah apna aatank lagatar phailane me vyast tha jabki kilwish abhi tapasya karne me uljha hua tha.
Hamare parilok pahuchte hi maharaj aur maharani ne hamara swagat kiya…halanki vo bhi mujhe jivit dekh kar atyant chakit the….mujhe aur rajnandini ke alawa mere charo dosto ko chhod kar baki sabhi pari lok ki sundarta ko dekh kar ashcharya chakit rah gaye…jo baate unhone kisse aur kahaniyo me kabhi suni thi aaj vo sab unki ankho ke sammukh tha.
Maharaj—aaj main aur ye pari lok dono dhanya ho gaye jo aap aur maharani dono ko ek sath punah dekhne ka saubhagya prapt hua.
Adii—maharaj, abhi sabse pahle mujhe sonalika se milna hai..baki baate baad me hoti rahengi.
Maharaj (dukhi)—mujhe bahut afsos hai maharaj ki main aapki dharohar aur apni putri ki hifajat nahi kar saka..
Adii (shocked)—kyaa matlab hai apka…?
Maharani (rote huye)—aapne aane me bahut der kar di maharaj…bahut der kar di…
Rajnandini (chounk kar)—aisa achanak kya ho gaya yaha se mere jane ke baad... ?
Maharaj—maharani, aapke jane ke baad achanak ek din.....
Maharaj (dukhi)—mujhe bahut afsos hai maharaj ki main aapki dharohar aur apni putri ki hifajat nahi kar saka..
Adii (shocked)—kyaa matlab hai apka…?
Maharani (rote huye)—aapne aane me bahut der kar di maharaj…bahut der kar di…
Rajnandini (chounk kar)—aisa achanak kya ho gaya yaha se mere jane ke baad... ?
Maharaj—maharani, aapke jane ke baad achanak ek din.....
Ab aage……
Adii (vyagra)—Jaldi bataiye maharaj ki aisa kya anarth ho gaya sona ke sath…? Kahi vo dust kilwish phir se to …?
Maharaj (ashru purit nayan)—maharani ke yaha se jane ke baad sonalika har samay roti hi rahti thi..vo chalne phirne me to asmarth thi aur na hi kuch bol pati thi kintu uski ankho se ashru nirantar kisi megh ki bhanti bahte hi rahte the…use apne kiye par bahut pachtawa ho raha tha…achanak ek din uski haalat bahut jyada bigad gayi..vo jor jor se saanse lene lagi….hamne turant rajvaidya ko bulwaya kintu….
Rajnandini—kintu kya….?
Maharaj (ankho me pani)—rajvaidya ne apni taraf se bahut prayas kiya sonalika ki haalat me sudhar laane ka… magar uski halat sudharne ki bajaye bigadti hi chali gayi aur phir ek baar usne jor se ‘adiiiiiiiiii…..adiiiiiiii’ chilla kar apni ankhe sada sada ke liye band kar li…
Sab (shocked)—kyaaaaaa…….?
Adii (shocked)—kab ki baat hai ye…..? (mann me)..ye tumne kya kiya sona…kam se kam mera intazar to karti…!
Maharani (rote huye)—maharani rajnandini ke jane ke kuch din baad hi…..uske ankhe band karte hi ek pal ko poora pari lok hi ghane andhakar me doob gaya tha.
Sonalika ki mrityu ki khabar ne hum sabhi ko gahre sadme me daal diya….hum sabhi ki ankho se anshuo ki ladi lag gayi….main shokakul ho kar vahi ghutne ke bal jamin par baith gaya anshu bahate huye aur ankhe band kar li… main dard aur dukh ke athaah sagar me dubne laga….magar tabhi meri band ankho ke samne ek drishya ubhar kar drishti gochar hone laga….ye drishya jaise hi khatam hua vaise hi meri ankhe gusse se lal ho kar khul gayi…
Mera poora chehra gusse se tamtama raha tha….mujhe achanak itne gusse me dekh kar sabhi ashcharya chakit ho gaye….kisi ko kuch samajh me nahi aaya ki mujhe yakayak kroadh kyo aa gaya, iss dukh bhare kshan me bhi…?
Rajnandini (hairan)—rishi….kya hua…..? tumhare achanak iss kroadh ka karan kya hai….?
Adii (gusse me)—chhal hua hai sab ke sath…..jis sonalika ki mrityu huyi hai, vo sonalika thi hi nahi…
Rajnandini (shocked)—ye…ye tum kya kah rahe ho….?
Maharaj (chakit)—aisa kaise ho sakta hai…? Ye sab to hamare samne ki ghatna hai….?
Adii (gusse me)—sonalika mera naam chillate huye sirf behosh huyi thi…mari nahi thi…uske behosh hone ke baad jo bhi aap sabne dekha, vo sab chhalawa tha.
Maharani (hairan, rote huye)—maharaj…kya meri beti jinda hai…..?
Rajnandini—kya sona jivit hai…? Aur kisne kiya ye chhal…..?
Adii (kroadhit)—azgarrr…..haan, ye sab azgarr ne kiya hai…..sona ke behosh hote hi usne apni maya se andhera phaila kar sonalika ko utha kar gayab ho gaya aur uski jagah maya janit sona ko yaha chhod gaya.
Maharani (khush hote huye)—kyaaa…iska…iska…matlab ki meri beti jinda hai…?
Urmila—lekin vo hai kaha…?
Adii—azgar ke kabze me.....aap sab yahi ruko....main le kar aata hu usko....
Sona ke jivit hone ki khabar ne sabhi ke chehro par chhaye dukh ke baadal ko kafi had tak kam kar diya tha kintu mere azgar ke paas jane ki baat sun kar rajnandini ko chhod kar baki sab ke mann me ghabrahat hone lagi..kyon ki rajnandini ko abhi azgar ke vishay me satya malum nahi tha.
Megha (ghabra kar)—nahi...nahiii...tu uss shaitan ke paas nahi jayega.....bilkul nahiii
Urmila (tension)—megha theek kah rahi hai...
Adii—nahi mummy mujhe iss samay jana hi hoga….sona ko uss maha shaitan ke changul se azad karana mera dharm hai…
Rajnandini—main bhi tumhare sath chalungi..
Agni—main bhi
Adii—theek hai chalo jaldi…baki sab yahi ruko…
Uske baad main, rajnandini, agni aur khatra ko le kar vaha se adrishya ho gaya aur uss jagah pahucha jaha sonalika ko qaid kar ke rakha gaya tha….
Hame vaha dekh kar uske shaitani sainik hamari taraf daud pade…maine turant apni divya talwar ko smaran kiya aur uske hath me aate hi unka khatma karne laga…kuch ko agni apni aag ki shakti se jala jalakar bhasm karne lagi to vahi rajnandini ne apni shaktiyo ke prahar se sabko bhaybheet kar diya….uski ghani julfe vikral roop dharan karte huye kisi jahreele naago ki bhanti unhe apna gras banane lagi….jo bhi bach kar vaha se bhagne ki koshish karte to unhe khatra beech raste me hi pakad kar cheer phad deta.
Kuch hi der me azgar ki shaitani sena ke hazaro sainik kaal ka bhog ban chuke the….rasta saaf hote hi main uss jagah me andar ghus gaya…sonalika abhi bhi murchhit avastha me hi thi…maine usko apni baaho me utha kar apni shaktiyo ki madad se uski jagah ek nakli sonalika ko lita kar bahar aa gaya….tab tak teeno ne poora maidan hi saaf kar diya tha.
Main teeno ko le kar vapis pari lok lout aaya….sonalika ko dekh kar sabhi ke chehre khushi se khil uthe..maharaj aur maharani ke mukh mandal jo ki apni putri ke gum me malin ho chuke the…usko phir se dekhte hi dono ke chehro par poornima ke chandrama ke jaise phir se chamak lout aayi.
Maharani (vyakul ho kar)—sona…meri beti…meri beti jinda hai…suna maharaj..meri sona jivit hai…
Maharaj (khushi ke anshu)—haan…haan maharani…hamari putri phir se lout aayi..
Urmila—lekin, ye kuch bol kyo nahi rahi hai aur ankhe bhi band hain iski…?
Adii—abhi behosh hai vo…shayad coma me chali gayi hai…
Shree—ab kya hoga…?
Adii—main dekhta hu…
Maine sonalika ko bistar me lita diya aur phir uske sir par hath rakh ke apni ankhe band kar li aur healing power ka dhyan karne laga…healing power ke jagrit hote hi mere hatho se roshni nikal kar sonalika ke jism me samane lagi.. kuch samay tak uske poore sharir me prakashmaan hone ke baad dhire dhire kam hoti gayi..roshni ke samapt hote hi maine ankhe khol di.
Adii—chinta ki koi baat nahi hai maharani…kuch der me sonalika ko hosh aane lagega…iss roshni ke prabhav se usko ab apna poorv janam bhi smaran ho jayega….ab vo bilkul swasth hai..
Maharaj (hath jod kar)—iss upkar ke liye main apki hamesha abhari rahungi…aapne hum dono ko jivit rahne ki vajah de di hai warna hum to jeevan se thak chuke the.
Adii—aap mere samne aise hath mat jodiye…ek to aap iss samay yaha ki maharani hain aur dusra, meri hone wali patni ki maa bhi hain…iss rishte se aap bhi meri maa hi huyi aur ek maa ko bete ke aage hath jodna shobha nahi deta hai.
Maharaj—main rajguru se paramarsh le kar kal hi aapke rajyabhishek karna chahta hu…aap dono ke bina raj mukut singhasan sadiyo se aapke aane ki pratiksha me khali pada hai.
Adii—jaisa aap uchit samjhe
Phir maine maharaj aur maharani ka parichay sabhi se karwaya….mere pariwar se mil kar dono behad khush huye.. kuch samay pashchat sonalika ko bhi hosh aa gaya…ankhe kholte hi mujhe apne samne dekh kar usko apni ankho par vishash hi nahi hua…usko laga ki vo koi sapna dekh rahi hai, phir pichle janam ki yaade uski ankho ke samne ghumne lagi..sath hi iss janam ke karm bhi yaad aaye to uski ankho me pani chhalak aaya…maharani usko hosh me aaya dekh kar behad prasann ho gayi aur usko awaz dene lagi kintu uska dhyan iss samay sirf mujh par hi kendrit tha jisse use kuch sunayi hi nahi diya…main uske hriday ke bhaav samajh gaya…main uske paas baith kar sar me hath pherne laga…vo mujhe tatol kar check karne lagi ki ye sapna hai ya phir haqiqat…phir jab use abhaas ho gaya ki ye haqiqat hai to vo jor se chilla kar mujhse lipat kar rone lagi.
Adii—kyo, meri yaad kabhi nahi aati thi tumhe sona….? Ab tak naraz ho mujhse…?
Sonalika (rote huye)—adiiiiii….mujhe maaf kar do adiii…mujhe chhod kar tum kaha chale gaye the…? Mujhe meri galti ki itni badi saza mat do….main tumhare bina jee nahi paungi…..
Rajnandini (paas baith kar)—tumhe koi chhod kar nahi ja raha hai sona…
Urmila—tu chinta mat kar sona…maine tujhe apni bahu banane ka faisla kar liya hai..bol karegi mere adii se shadi…?
Sonalika (shocked)—maa ji …aap…aur yaha…pari lok me….?
Urmila—main to apne adii ke liye dulhan lene aayi hu yaha…karegi mere adii se shadi…?
Sonalika—maa jiii…haan maa ji
Phir sab bari bari se sonalika se milne lage…maharani ne usko sab bata diya…tab tak vaha rajguru bhi aa gaye..vo bhi sonalika ko sahi salamat dekh kar behad khush huye.
Rajguru—maharaj poore pari lok sahit saato loko me ghosna kar dijiye ki unke maharaj adirishi aur maharani rajnandini vapis lout aaye hain…unka sadiyo ka intazar khatam ho gaya hai…ab ek bar phir se har taraf sukh aur khushahali ayegi….sath hi kal dono ka raj tilak kiya jayega jisme sabhi saadar aamantrit hain.
Maharaj—jo aagya gurudev..
Rajnandini—rajguru..meri abhilasa hai ki kal hi rishi ka anya raniyo ke sath vivah bhi sampann ho jaye,
Maharaj—haan gurudev
Rajguru—theek hai maharani, kal raj tilak ke pashchat vivah samaroh ka aayojan bhi kar diya jayega..kintu maharaj ke vivah ke liye saat kanyayo ki avashyakta padegi jinse ki unka vivah hona hai..aapko chhod kar..
Rajnandini—saat logo se vivah…? Chhah (six) to hain hi...ek to main khud ho gayi, lekin aapka kahna hai ki mujhe chhod kar saat kanyayao se vivah...ek..agni se vivah ho chuka hai...dusri..sonalika..teesri-margret...chouthi-radha.. panchvi-priyamvada...baki do koun hain jo mere rishi se ananya prem karti hain... ?
Jab rajnandini meri shadi ki baat karte huye ladkiyo ki ginti kar rahi thi to shree ka hriday bechaini se tadap utha kyon ki uss ginti me uska naam nahi tha...vo ek yaachak ki bhanti meri taraf dekhne lagi.
Rajguru—iska jawab to khud maharaj adirishi hi de sakte hain maharani...
Rajnandini—rishii... ? do ladkiya koun hain... ? maa ji..aap bataiye... ?
Shree (mann me)—adii..pls maa se baat karo na..pls...ye sahi mouka hai...maa se baat karne ka...unhe bata kyo nahi dete mere baare me... ?
Adii (duvidha me)—nandini...tumhare sawal ka jawab kal guru vishwamitra denge...vo mere rajtilak me jarur ayenge, hame apna ashirwad pradan karne..ye prashna tum unse karna, vahi iska jawab de sakte hain..
Shree (gussa hote huye mann me)—idiot...lagta hai ki ek chipka du kaan ke niche...maa jab baar baar puch rahi hain to unse ye nahi bol sakta ki shree bhi mujhse bahut pyar karti hai aur mujhse shadi karna chahti hai... ? agar kahi tumhare guru ji ne bhi mera naam maa ko nahi bataya to mera to kalyan hi ho jayega...aur agar mera kalyan hua to main bhi sab ka kalyan kar dungi...kisi se teri shadi nahi hone dungi...aur apni jaan bhi de dungi..dekh lena kal.
Maharaj ne kal hone wale rajtilak aur vivah ki ghosna saato lok me bhijwa di aur sath me har jagah nimantran bhi de diya...maine dhyan laga kar guru vishwamitra aur ashtavakra, kanak rishi ko bhi suchit kar diya.
Uske baad sabhi baate karte huye bhojan ke uparant vishram karne chale gaye...akhir nayi subah hote hi vo din bhi aa gaya jab singhasan par mera aur rajnandini ka phir se rajtilak hona tha...jaha sabhi ke chehro par aaj khushiya thi vahi shree ke dil me rah rah kar bechaini ho rahi thi.

Ab aage…….
Aaj subah jaise hi sari praja ko ye suchna mili ki unke maharaj adirishi aur maharani rajnandini phir se vapis lout aaye hain aur unka aaj rajtilak hona hai..to ye khabar sunte hi unki prasannata ka koi parawar nahi raha… sab apne apne sabhi kaam chhod kar rajmahal ki taraf chal diye… sari praja khushi se jhum rahi thi…unke mann ka utsaah dekhne hi yogya tha…saato lok se bhari sankhya me log iss rajtilak ko dekhne aaye huye the…sabhi ke mann me apne maharaj aur maharani ko dekhne ki abhilasa prabal ho rahi thi.
Main bhi subah jaldi uth kar dainik kriya se free hone ke baad taiyar hua…thodi hi der me munish bhi sapariwar aa gaya..unse milne ke pashchat main apne dosto, anand, ajeet, maharaj ke sath sabha me aa gaya.
Rajsabha me aaj vishal jan samuh umad aaya tha….mujhe dekhte hi sab sir jhuka kar baith gaye..maine unka abhivadan swikar karte huye apni jagah par baithne ko kaha…lekin koi baitha nahi.
Agle hi pal ek sainik ne guru vishwamitra, ashtavakra, kanak rishi aur damnak rishi ke shisyo sahit aagman ki suchna di to main swayam hi bahar aa gaya unki aagwani karne ke liye..unke charno ki guru vandana karne ke uparant unhe aadar sahit sabha grah me le aaya.
Itna bhavya samaroh dekh kar mere dost aur pariwar wale chakit the…thodi hi der me vaha maharani ke sath urmila aur megha bhi aa gayi to maine apni dono maa ke charan chhu kar unka ashirwad liya…dono ne sari praja ke samne hi khushi se mere maathe ko chum liya..isse mera mann prafullit ho utha.
Ab sirf rajnandini aur meri hone wali baki biwiya hi yaha aane ko shesh rah gayi thi…mera mann iss baat se behad khush tha ki aaj bahut samay baad phir se main iss singhasan par rajnandini ke sath baithunga…
Vishwamitra—vats, maharani rajnandini ko bhi bulaya jaye jisse dono ka rajyabhishek sampann ho sake.
Adii—jo agya gurudev.
Maine rajnandini ko sabha me aane ka sandesh bhej diya….mera dil usko aaj phir se vahi purane roop me dekhne ke liye machalne laga...jab intazar ki bechaini had se jyada badhne lagi to main khud hi sabha ke dwar par aa ke khada ho gaya aur rajnandini ke aane ki badi utsukta se pratiksha karne laga.
Poora rajmahal sannate se bhar gaya tha…raj darbar me khadi sari praja taktaki baandhe darbar ke vishal dwar par dekh rahi thi…sabhi apni priya maharani rajnandini ko ek bar phir se singhasan par virajman hote huye dekhne ko aatur the…..
Mera mukh mandal bhi asha aur pratyasha ke deep se chamak rahe tha…mere shant swabhav ke prati kool prati kshan mere mukh par chanchalta aur vyagrata ke bhaav aa aur ja rahe the.
Darbar me khada jansamuh bhi meri iss vyagrata se anbhigya nahi tha…saans roke sab rajnandini ke padchaap sunne ke liye adhir ho rahe the…tab rajnandini ki payal ki jhankar ne apne pravesh ki udghosna ki.
Rajnandini ki payal chhankati ye padchaap mujhe utni hi sumadhur prateet huyi jitni sadiyo pahle gaon me nadi kinare run-jhun lagi thi…jis prakar vaha nadi kinare pani bharne ke liye apni sakhiyo ke sath aati rajnandini ke ek ek pag se uthi ek ek jhanak, hriday me jhankar paida kar rahi thi…ussi prakar aaj bhi yeh padchaap hriday ke patal par sidhe prahar kar rahi thi.
Vahi gati, chaal me vahi soumyata, utni hi gambhirta, utna hi sousthav...iss jhankar karti huyi padchaap ko mere dil ne turant pahchan liya ki ye meri rajnandini ke hi pairo ki padchaap hai.uske atirikt aur koi ho hi nahi sakti.
Meri nazare apalak, nirnimesh, ektak dwar par khade ho ke dekhne me lagi huyi thi…praja ko bhi mere aise khade rahne par koi aapatti ya ashcharya nahi tha kyon ki pahle bhi main hamesha hi darbar me rajnandini ke aane ki pratiksha sabha dwar par khade ho kar issi tarah kiya karta tha…praja bhi iss samay asha, pratyasha me hichkole le rahi thi.
Udhar rajnandini ke hriday ki sthiti bhi kuch bhinn nahi thi…phool sa komal jeevan jis adirishi ki charandhooli me samarpit kar diya, aaj ek bar phir se use apne rishi ke darshano ki pipasa shant hogi…aaj phir vo parilok ke singhasan par apne rishi ke sath aasin ho kar saat loko ki swamini banegi.
Rajnandini (mann me)—kitna samay beet gaya…? Bahut intazar kiya hai maine iss pal ka…kaise lagungi main rishi ko bina koi shringar kiye huye…? Jane vo tatparta kaha ojhal ho gayi…? Kintu uchit hi hai…maa bhi hu ab main, kewal ardhangni nahi…kitne varsho lag gaye, rishi ki pratiksha karte karte…inn sato loko ki praja ko bhi maine ek balak ke samaan hi vatsalya diya hai…apni mata ko itne dino tak kasht me kaise dekh sakti thi meri praja bhi..
Nav-vadhu sa prakampit hriday liye rajnandini sabha me agni, margret, priyamvada, radha, sonalika ke sath pahuch gayi...main ab bhi apalak, nirnimesh, ektak dekhte huye khada tha…
Jaise hi rajnandini ke pas sabha madhya sthir huye hi the ki usko dekhte hi mere sanyam ki pratyancha toot gayi.. main daud kar madhya ke shesh antar poora kar lena chahta tha…main apni rajnandini ko apni pranpriya ko apni azanubahu paash me baandh lena chahta tha jisse ki phir se hamare jeevan me ye virah ka dukh na aaye..main usko adhro ka ras pina chahta tha, jisko piye huye sadiya beet gayi.
Main rajnandini ko dekh kar jaise sab kuch bhool gaya..ye bhi dhyan nahi raha ki iss samay main sabha me hu..usko apni baaho me lene ke liye maine apna pahla kadam uski taraf badhaya hi tha ki ab tak ektak niche dekhti rajnandini ne apna sir uthaya aur hum dono ki ankhe aapas me mil gayi.
Main bhi uski ankho me dekhte huye ruk sa gaya… jaise ki rajnandini ne meri ankho me dekha to vah meri bhavna samajh gayi…usne ankho hi ankho me baat karne lagi.
Rajnandini (ankho ankho me)—nahi, rishi …yaha nahi…aaj raat se tumhari rajnandini apne rishi ki baaho me hogi.. bas thoda sa intazar aur kar lo..
Meri ankhe bhi rajnandini ki ankho me umde bhaav dekh kar mushkura di…halki si smit rekha to yahi batati hai.. nayano ki bhasa bhi badi hi adbhut thi uss pal…ek yug ki virah pida dono ke nayano me utar aayi.
Hum dono aise hi ek dusre ki ankho me ankhe daale khade ankho hi ankho me baate karte rahe…guru ashtavakra aur vishwamitra ke sath sath sari praja ka dhyan bhi hamari hi taraf tha…guru vishwamitra hamari dasha ko samajhte huye mann hi mann mushkura rahe the.
Vishwamitra (mushkurate huye)—vats..singhasan par baitho..rajtilak ka shubh muhurt ho chuka hai..
Gurudev ki baat sun kar main jhenp gaya aur phir sambhal kar vapis ankho me ankhe daal kar dayniya bhaav se rajnandini ki taraf dekhne laga.
Adii (ankho ankho me)—mujhse raat tak ka intazar nahi hoga ab..
Meri baat par rajnandini ek taraf sir jhukate huye aise mushkurayi ki jaise dant pankti ki abha jhalak uthi ho..agle hi pal vo phir meri ankho me dekhne lagi.
Rajnandini (ankho ankho me)—tumhari dasha par to hasi thitholi karne ka mann hota hai…jab tum aise ho to tumhari praja kaisi hogi..
Vishwamitra (mushkura kar)—putri rajnandini…tum bhi adirishi ke sath singhasan par baitho..
Ab jhenpne ki bari rajnandini ki thi….lajja swaroopa uska raktaabh mukh jhuk gaya…punah sambhal kar usne bhi meri ankho me ankhe daal kar pratyuttar me ankho ke madhyam se hi jawab diya.
Rajnandini (ankho ankho me)—tumse bichhadne ke baad to mera jeevan hi anyatha ho chuka tha….koi uddeshya hi nahi tha…maine to kab ka ant kar diya hota iss jeevan ka, agar tumne mujhe apne vapis aane ka intazar karne ke liye na kaha hota ho…?
Guru vishwamitra ke phir se bolne par hum dono sharmashar ho gaye aur chupchap aa kar singhasan par baith gaye...hum dono ke uss chamatkarik singhasan par baithte hi vo achanak tez roshni se chamakne laga.
Guru vishwamitra ne apne sath laaye saat samundro ke jal se mantrochcharan karte huye mera abhishek kiya aur phir raj mukut mangwaya gaya…vo mukut mere karib aate hi swatah apne sthan se uth kar mere sir me aa kar sushobhit ho gaya..aur usme se ek mukut nikal kar rajnandini ke sir me apni chamak bikherne laga.
Hamare sir me mukut aate hiusme se saat rang ki roshni prajjwalit hone lagi aur uss roshni ne hum dono ko apne ghere me samet liya....ye roshni iss baat ka praman thi ki vo iss singhasan aur rajmukut ki sabhi shaktiya hamare andar phir se sthapit ho rahi thi…. kuch der baad jab roshni dhire dhire kam huyi to main apne poorv roop me aa chuka tha.
Sari praja ek bar phir se hamare aage natmastak ho gayi..hamne sabhi ka abhar vyakt karte huye teeno guru ke charan chhuye..sabhi ne hamare upar pushp varsha karni shuru kar di.
Adii—pranam gurudev
Vishwamitra—tumhara ka kalyan ho..
Rajnandini—pranam gurudev
Vishwamitra—akhand soubhagya vati bhav
Ashtavakra—vats, iss saat rang ke prakash ka arth jante ho, jo singhasan par baithte hi mukut se prakirnit hua tha abhi…?
Rajnandini—kya matlab hai gurudev…?
Ashtavakra—iska arth hai ki is singhasan aur rajmukut me saat loko ki shaktiya nihit hain jo ki ab tum dono ke andar aa chuki hain…inn saat rang ki shaktiyo ke karan hi saat lok tumhare adhin hain…inn saat rang ki shaktiyo ki vajah se hi tumhari saat dharam patniya bhi hongi…aur har lok ki ek ek shaktiya unke andar bhi hongi.
Rajguru—vo saat soubhagya shalini ladkiya koun koun hain rishivar…? Meri nazar me to sirf paanch hi hain..
Rajguru ke iss prashna ne sabhi ki dhadkano ko badha diya….vishesh kar sabse jyada vyagrata rajnandini aur shree ke dil me hone lagi….shree ke dil me iss sawal ne uthal puthal paida kar di…uska dil bechaini se tadapne laga.
Shree (mann me)—hey bhagwan, mere pyar ki laaz aaj tere hath me hai…gurudev ke mind me mera khyal paida kar de…mujhe mera adii de do bhagwan….main adii se bahut pyar karti hu…agar mujhe adii nahi mila to main khud hi apna antim sanskar kar lungi vo bhi jinda hi.
Rajnandini (bechain)—gurudev…rishi ki ek patni to chitra bhi hai…bas ab ek hi to baki bachi, mujhe chhod kar
Vishwamitra—putri, tum to uski patni ho hi..lekin tum maharani bhi ho..iss lihaz se tum saato lok ki swamini huyi. Har lok ke liye ek ek raj rani bhi chahiye jo tumhari anupathiti me tumhara dayitva sambhal sake…chitra, beeta hua kal hai, aaj uska astitva sirf yaado ke jharokho tak hi simit hai, uska aaj ke vartaman se koi sambandh nahi hai..
Rajnandini (adhir)—to phir vo do ladkiya koun hain gurudev jo mere rishi se prem karti hain…?
Vishwamitra—putri, vo adirishi ki patniya tabhi ban sakti hain jab unhe tumhari bhi sahmati prapt ho…bina tumhari sahmati ke iss singhasan aur mukut ki jo ek ek shaktiya unhe milne wali hain, vo nahi milengi..isme tum dono ki hi sahmati avashyak hai..
Adii (mann me)—rajnandini sach ko kaise bardast kar payegi…? Vo to iss ghatna kram se poori trah anjan hai abhi tak…kya vo shree ko swikar kar sakegi apni hi soutan ke roop me…? Uske dil par kya beetegi jab use pata chalega ki uski apni hi beti, apne baap se pyar karti hai aur usse shadi kar ke uski patni aur khud rajnandini ki soutan banna chahti hai…?
Rajnandini (bechain)—gurudev..aapne meri baat ka jawab nahi diya…vo do ladkiya koun koun hain…?
Vishwamitra—putri, main jo kuch bhi kahne ja raha hu, use dhyan se sunna aur vichlit nahi hona…..tumhare rishi ki tumhare siwa hone wali baki saat me se paanch …margret, priyamvada, agni, radha aur sonalika..ye to tumhare samne hi hain jinke baare me tum bhali bhanti janti ho…ab aate hain jinke baare me tumhe nahi pata..jo adirishi ki patniya banegi…aur vo do ladkiya hain…..
I am big fan of your work
