HARIHARESHWARI 16 - विशृंखलित राजवंशाः

CHAPTER 89

In the grand court of Mathura, the aged King Ugrasen sat solemnly on his ornate throne, surrounded by his ministers who were presenting their reports.

Suddenly, the doors swung open as a pratihaari rushed in, "Pranaam Maharaj ! Raja Satyak aane ki anumati chaahte hai."

"Aagya hai." Ugrasen a nod.

The pratihaari went away, and with due honours brought Satyak to the court. As the son of Shini entered, his usually calm demeanor was replaced by an anger that simmered just beneath the surface. His eyes blazed with intensity as he made his way towards the throne.

With a deep bow, Satyak addressed King Ugrasen, his voice laced with urgency, "Maharaj, Magadhpati Jarasandh ne punah Mathura par akraman kiya hai."

Listening to that, the ministers' expressions varied - some sighed wearily, while others furrowed their brows in irritation at this fourth attack by the relentless Jarasandh. The court erupted in murmurs of concern as the gravity of the news sank in.

"Punah akraman ?"

"Lagta hai jab tak woh Yadavo ka naash na karde, Jarasandh nahi rukne wala."

Despite the tension in the court, King Ugrasen remained composed, "Akrur ?"

"Aagya Maharaj." Akrur stood up from his seat, ready to carry out the king's command.

Ugrasen instructed, "Krishna, Balram aur Satyaki ko yeh suchna de."

Akrur's response was swift and respectful as he bowed once more before the King and swiftly exited the court.

In the dimly lit chamber of King Dhritrashtra, the blind monarch sits heavily on his ornate couch, his head bowed in silent contemplation. Beside him, his wife Queen Gandhari is seated with a deep frown etched on her face, her eyes hidden behind a silken blindfold.

"Aapke sneh ke karan hi Duryodhan udand huya hai, Arya. Aapne kabhi use dandit nahi kiya ! Aapke karan woh itna dusht bana hai." Gandhari expressed her disappointment, her words become more impassioned, her voice rising with each accusation hurled at Dhritrashtra.

Her voice was tinged with sorrow and frustration as she implores her husband to take action, her words falling on deaf ears as Dhritrashtra sits in a state of helpless resignation.

"Kaise apne hi putra ko dandit karu, Gandhari ?" The king remains unmoved, lost in his thoughts and unable to assert his authority over his wayward son.

The room was heavy with tension, the air thick with unspoken grievances and unfulfilled expectations. Despite Gandhari's outpouring of emotions, Dhritrashtra sits unmoving, his face a mask of resignation and regret.

"Ab hum keval aasha kar sakte hai ki Gurukul uske acharan mei sudhaar laaye." Gandhari sighed in frustration.

As Dilip strode through the majestic corridors of the ancient Ujjain palace, echoes of the past whispered through its walls. Hemant, his loyal charioteer, followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing in the empty halls.

"Mai samajh nahi paa raha, Sut." Dilip's face was a mask of contemplation, betraying the weight of his newfound responsibilities, "Avanti ke jitne Raja the, sab mere paksh mei rehte the jab mai Yuvraj tha. Kintu aaj jab mai Ujjain ka shashak hu, koi mere samarthan mei aage nahi aya."

Hemant, sensing his master's inner turmoil, spoke softly, "Kadachit unhe aapke saath apna laabh nahi dikha. Ya fir awashya, Vinda aur Anuvinda ne unn sabhi ko dhan ki laalsa di hogi. Woh dono kabhi aapko safal hote nahi dekh sakte."

Dilip paused, his gaze sweeping over the intricate carvings adorning the walls, "Mujhe kabhi laga nahi tha ki mere bhatije, mere saath aisa chhal karenge." he mused, his voice tinged with disappointment.

Hemant said, "Yeh shok manane ka samaye nahi hai, Rajan. Jab Saam se karya na ho, toh daam diya jata hai. Aap bhi Rajao ko unke samarthan ka mol de."

Dilip let out a heavy sigh, his brow furrowed with worry, "Itna saral nahi hai, Hemant. Rajkosh mei utna dhan nahi ki hum Rajao ka samarthan kharid paaye."

The weight of responsibility bore down on his shoulders, the burden of reclaiming Ujjain and establishing his reign felt heavier than ever.

Hemant looked rather worried, "Samanto ke bal par hum Ujjain ko sashakt nahi kar paayenge. Rajao ka saath hona awashyak hai."

Walking towards the gallery, overlooking the sprawling city below and the vast sky above, Dilip couldn't help but smile. Turning back to Hemant, determination gleamed in his eyes, "Sut, apne jeevan se maine yadi kuch sikha hai toh woh yeh hai ki niyati ko badla nahi jaa sakta. Yadi meri niyati mei Haiheya-samrat banna likha hoga toh koi mujhe rok nahi paayega. Hume sab samaye par chhod dena chahiye."

With a resolute nod, Dilip continued down the corridor, his heart heavy yet hopeful, as Hemant followed behind.

In the heavenly realm of Chaitanya Lok, Rambha and Menka looked down upon Bhulok anxiously, their ethereal forms shimmering with concern. Below them, the earthly kingdoms of Mathura, Magadh, Hastinapur, and Avanti were in turmoil, their once powerful foundations shaken by unrest and darkness.

"Rajao ne swayam ko hi bhumi ka swami maan liya hai. Aur iss karan aise nirnaye le rahe hai, jisse praja ko kasht ho raha hai." Menka said.

Rambha nodded and said, "Prithvi aur Praja ko ab jiski sabse adhik awashyakta hai, woh hai Akhand Maharani."

With a shared sense of urgency, Rambha and Menka decided to seek the one who was the Queen of all the kings. As the apsaras Rambha and Menka rushed to the home of the Amarsri, they found her in a deep meditative state, floating in the air, surrounded by a bright aura of energy that illuminated the entire room.

Her eyes were closed, and her expression was serene yet powerful, emanating a sense of divine presence. Amarsri's radiant presence seemed to imbue the room with a sense of tranquility and strength. Her long flowing hair cascaded around her like a halo, and her attire shimmered with ethereal light.

Rambha said, "Netra kholo Amarsri, dekho tumhare Bhulok par kya ho raha hai."

"Dekh hi toh rahi hu." Amarsri said softly, her eyes still closed, "Asabhyata, atank, ahankar, aavesh ne Aryavart ko gher liya hai. Praja ki pukaar mere kaano mei gunj rahi hai."

Menka asked, "Toh kab avatar logi ?"

"Ab." Amarsri opened her eyes, and with a graceful motion descended from her levitating state, her energy intensifying with each moment until her feet finally touched the ground. The ground trembled slightly beneath her as she stood tall, radiating a presence that commanded attention and reverence.
