Indrajit in the Ramcharitmanas

Uski khushi aur daulat, uske bete, uski sena aur saathi, uski jeet, shaan, taakat, samajh aur naam. Ye sab roz naye aur bade hote gaye, jaise lalach har fayde ke saath badhta hai. Uska ek bhai tha Kumbhakarna, bahut zyada taakat wala…

Phir usne Meghanad ko bulaya, usko instruction diya, aur uski taqat aur dushmani badha di. Woh devta jo ladai me steady aur powerful hain, aur jinhe ladne me garv hai. Unko ladai me hara kar yahan bandh kar le aana. Beta utha aur apne pita…

Ravan ne jo baat Indrajit ko bola tha, lagta hai wahi sab pehle se ho chuka tha. Pehle jise usne hukum diya tha, unke kya kaam kiye, suno. Saare paapi, darawne roop wale rakshas ke jhund bhagwan ko pareshan kar rahe the. Asur ke jhund…

Apne bete ke marne ki khabar sun ke Lanka ke raja bahut gusse hua, aur usne balwan Meghnad ko bheja. Usne kaha, bete, ise mat maarna, ise bandh le. Ise bandar ko dekh le, aur pata laga ki ye kahan se aaya hai. Indrajit jaisa jodha koi nahi…

Meghnad ne Brahma astra apne dhanush par lagaya. Bandar ne apne mann mein socha, agar main Brahma astra ki izzat na karu toh iska anant maan mit jayega.

Usne Hanuman pe Brahma astra maara, lekin girte girte Hanuman ne dushman ki poori fauj ko khatam kar diya. Meghanad ne dekha ki bandar behosh ho gaya hai, toh usne naag paas se baandh kar le gaya. Suno Bhavani, gyani log uske naam jaap…

Main toh tumhare daant todne ke kaabil hoon, lekin Ram ne mujhe aaj tak aadesh nahi diya. Mujhe itna gussa aa raha hai ki tumhare saare das mooh tod doon, phir Lanka ko pakad ke samundar mein doobaa doon. Tumhari Lanka goolar ke phal jitni…

Lakhon warrior khade hue khushi se. Sab Meghanad jaise the. Unhone bandar ke pair par jhapatta maara, par wo hila bhi nahi. Phir sab sar jhuka kar wapas baith gaye. Bandar ka pair zameen se nahi hil raha tha. Yeh dekh kar dushman ka…

Dar ke maare bandar bhaagne lage, par Uma, aakhir mein unki hi jeet thi. Koi chillane laga, Angad aur Hanuman kahan gaye? Nal aur Neel kahan hain, aur balwan Dvivid kahan hai? Hanuman ne suna ki apni hi sena pareshan mein hai. Balwan…

Apni dushmani chhod de aur Vaidehi ko wapas kar de. Us daya ke khazane ko bhagwan maan jo apne bhakton ka sabse bada dost hai. Uske baan jaise baan lage Ravan ko. Ja, tu badkismat aadmi, kahin aur ja apna muh kaala kar. Tu budha ho gaya…

Meghnad ne suna ki bandar wale phir aaye hain aur qile ko gher liya hai. To wo bahadur qile se neeche utra aur dhol bajate hue samne ke taraf badhne laga.

Wo pooch raha hai, Kosala ke do bhai kahan hain, dhanush wale jo sab duniya mein famous hain? Nal, Neel, Dwivid, Sugreev, Angad aur Hanuman kahan hain, jinki taqat ki hadd hi nahi? Aur Vibhishan kahan hai jisne apne bhai ka gaddari kiya?…

Usne har ek ko das das teer maare, aur vaanar veer zameen par gir pade. Meghanad bal mein majboot tha, usne sher ki awaaz nikali aur zor se garja.

Hanuman dekhta hai ki sena pareshan hai, to wo gusse mein khud aage badhta hai, jaise Kaal ne gussa karke daud aaye ho. Wo turant ek bahut bada pahad ka patthar ukhaadta hai aur bahut gusse mein Meghnad par phenk deta hai. Meghnad dekhta…

Zakhmi veer kaise dikh rahe the? Jaise phool khile hue kimshuka ped hote hain. Lakshman aur Meghnad, dono yoddha, bahut gusse mein ek doosre se lade. Koi doosre ko hara nahi pa raha tha. Rakshas ne chal aur takat se lada, galat kaam bhi…

Meghnad jaise sau crore yoddha ne usey uthane ki koshish ki. Par duniya ko dharan wala Shesh ko kaun utha sakta hai. Sab sharminda hokar wapas chale gaye.

Din khatam hote dono senaye wapas aa gayi. Larai me bahut himmat wale sathiyon ko thak gaye the. Ram ki kripa se bandar sena ka bal badh gaya, jaise ghaas pakad kar aag bahut tez bhadak uthati hai. Rakshas din raat khatke gaye, jaise koi…

Meghnad ek jaadui rath pe baith ke aasmaan mein ud gaya. Usne bahut zor se hasi ke awaaz lagayi, aur uski wajah se bandar ki fauj mein darr phail gaya.

Bhawani, Ram ke jo sagun roop wale karname hain, unhe na tark se samjha ja sakta hai, na dimag ki taqat se, na bolne se. Ye soch kar jo gyan wale aur vairagi log hain, woh saara tark chhod dete hain aur Ram ko bhajte hain. Meghnad ne sena…

Meghnad hosh mein aaya to apne baap ko dekh kar bohot sharam feel hui. Turant woh ek bade pahaad ki gufa mein gaya, aur man mein soch liya ki woh ek aisi yagya karega jisse woh kabhi nahi haarega. Yahan Vibhishan ne soch-vichaar karke…
