HARIHARESHWARI 4 : PARIKSHA

A DIFFERENT PLAN

The Asur brothers Vikat and Vighn, wanted to rule all the universe but for that they had to be immortal.

Thus they married two yakshinis, named Chitra and Chitralekha. There intention was to make their wives do vrat and tapasya so that Mata Parvati can be happy with them, and they can ask for their husband's immortality for boon.

This was a matter of concern for the gods, thus they went to Mahadev and Mata Parvati for help.

"Isme mai kuch nahi kar sakti, mujhe unn dono ko vardaan dena hi hoga." Mata Parvati said.

"Kintu Mata, woh Teeno loko par apna adhipatya jama ke logo par atyachar karenge." Indradev said.

"Kshama kijihe Indradev Vardaan toh mujhe dena hi padega." Mata Parvati said and disappeared.

"Devraj, aap jaa ke Harihareshwari se iss baat par charcha kijiye. Woh aapki sahayata awashya karengi." Mahadev suggested.

"Jo agya prabhu." Indradev said and vanished in thin air.

Here at Harihar lok, Amarsri and Amardev were organizing a reception for their wedding, when Indradev appeared in front of them.

"Devi Harihareshwari, humari sahayata kijiye !" Indradev said.

"Kya hua Indradev, Asuro ne punah swarg par adhipatya jama liya ?" Amarsri asked.

"Nahi Devi, ab tak toh nahi." Indradev said.

"Ab tak nahi arthat ?" Amardev asked.

"Vikat aur Vighn, 2 asur bhai teeno loko par apna adhipatya jamana chahte hai...unki patniya yakshini Chitra aur Chitralekha ne Mata Parvati ko prasnn bhi kardiya hai aur woh unse vardaan mai Vikat aur Vighn ko woh dono amar kar dengi." Indradev said.

"Toh isme hum aapki kya sahyata kar sakte hai ?" Amardev asked.

"Mahadev ne kaha ki Devi Harihareshwari humari sahayata awashya karengi." Indradev said.

"Mai kya karu isme ?" Amarsri fell in deep thinking.

"Devi, yeh sthiti toh mujhe samudramanthan ka yaad dilati hai....uss samaye Narayan ne humari sahayata ki thi, mohini avatar mai." Indradev said.

Listening to his words an idea popped in Amarsri's head and she smiled.

"Maarg mil gaya." Amarsri said.

Down here Mata Parvati agreed to give a boon of immortality to Chitra and Chitralekha.

"Devi, hume keval ek hi vardan chahiye." Chitra said.

"Humare patiyo ko cheeran-jeevi bana dijiye." Chitralekha said.

Mata Parvati smiled as she summoned a kalash with a divine nectar.

"Yeh lo, agar tumhare pati isse Suryast se pehle grahan kar lenge toh woh cheeranjeevi ho jayenge." Mata Parvati said giving it to them.

"Dhanyawaad Devi." Both the yakshinis said and Mata Parvati disappeared in thin air.

"Jaldi chalo, anyatha woh krodhit ho jayenge." Chitralekha said.

Although these Yakshinis fulfilled all the duties of a wife, their husbands didn't even considered them no more than the dust of their feet.

As they were walking outside the forest, they heard a sound from the lake. They decided to inspect it and were awestruck seeing the man in front of them.
