Mahabharat ke Lipik Ganesh

Jab rishi Vyaas ne Mahabharat ki rachna apne man mein kar li, Bharat rajaon ka vishaal mahaakaavya apne samast darshan, vanshaavali aur pavitra shikshaon ke saath, to unke saamne vyaavhaarik samasya aayi. Kavita apaar thi, ek laakh shlok, aur unhe aise lipik ki aavashyakta thi jo unke shrutlekhan ke saath chalne ke liye teevrata se likh sake aur arth samajhne ke liye paryaapt gyaani ho. Unhone Brahma ka dhyaan kiya, jo unke saamne prakat hue aur unki kathinaayi suni. Srashta ne komal muskaan se suna, kyonki vah pehle se jaante the jo uttar rishi khoj rahe the. Brahma muskuraaye aur kaarya ke yogya ekmaatra ka naam liya, Ganesh, haathi mukh wale Shiv putr, aarambh ke swaami, jinki buddhi sabse teevra thi. Devta swayam kathintam samasyaon mein Ganesh ki salaah lete the. Vyaas ne srashta ki buddhi ko naman kiya aur Ganesh ka aavhaahan kiya, jo samast maangalik mahima mein prakat hue, unke bade kaan komalta se hilte hue, aankhen vinod se chamakti huin. Rishi ne unhe modak arpit kiye aur gehra naman kiya, kyonki devta ko halke mein nahin bulaaya jaata. Rishi ne apni aavashyakta samjhaayi aur Bhagwan se lipik banne ki vinati ki. Ganesh sahmat hue, lekin sabhi mahaan praaniyon ki tarah unhone shart rakhi. Vah tabhi lekhni uthaayenge jab Vyaas bina ruke shrutlekhan ka vachan den, shlok-dar-shlok atoot dhaara mein, kyonki devta ka samay moolyavaan tha aur vah sust kavi ki prateeksha nahin karenge. Apni sharten rakhte samay Bhagwan ki soond vichaarmagn hili. Swarg ne saans rok li, kyonki kisi ne Vyaas ke saamne shart rakhne ka saahas nahin kiya tha. Vyaas, jo utne hi chatur the jitne gyaani, ne shart sveekaar ki lekin apni ek jodi. Ganesh ek bhi shlok tab tak na likhen jab tak uska arth poornatah samajh na len, kyonki mahaakaavya mein gahantam satya the, aur bina samjhe likhne wala lipik unhe bhrasht kar sakta tha. Vyaas ne gambheerta se sir hilaaya, kyonki vah jaante the ki laaparvaah lipik Vedon ko bhi bigaad sakta hai. Ganesh apni shaktishaali buddhi par vishvast hokar hanste hue sahmat hue. Aur is tarah saahityik itihaas ki sabse vichitra saajhedaari aarambh hui. Vyaas bolte gaye, aur Ganesh likhte gaye, unki lekhni taadpatron par udti hui. Unki lekhni ki kharkharaahat sangeet jaisi thi, din-raat sthir aur aviraam. Lekin jab bhi Vyaas ko agla prasang rachne ke liye kshan chaahiye hota, vah apne prasiddh granthil shlokon mein se ek bolte, ghane, pahelinuma panktiyaan jinka arth jaanboojhkar goodh tha. Ganesh likhne se pehle samajhne ke vachan se bandhe granthi suljhaane rukte, chintan mein bhrikuti taane, aur us viraam mein Vyaas kai aur shlok rach lete. Kabhi viraam ek ghante chalta, aur Vyaas aashram mein tehalte hue prachandta se rachte. Is tarah rishi ne devta ki teevrata ka apni chaturaayi se saamna kiya, aur mahaakaavya behta raha. Parampara manmohak vivaran jodti hai. Lekhan ke aaveg mein Ganesh ki lekhni toot gayi, aur rukne ke bajay Bhagwan ne apna ek daant toda aur use lekhni banaakar apne hi haathidaant se likhte rahe. Prishth par rakt aur syaahi mil gaye, balidaan aur shaastra ek hue. Isiliye Ganesh Ekadant kehlaate hain, ek daant wale, aur unki moorti mein ek akhand daant dikhta hai. Bhakt unke toote daant ko shraddha se chhoote hain, us amar lekhan ki keemat yaad karke. Varshon tak kaarya chalta raha, rishi bolte aur devta likhte, jab tak ek laakh shlok poorn na hue. Taadpatra aashram ke kamre-dar-kamre bharte gaye, shabdon ka van. Mahabharat swayam ghoshna karta hai ki vah Vyaas ke shrutlekhan par Ganesh dwara likha gaya tha, aur parampara ne tab se divya lipik ka sammaan kiya hai. Katha donon vyaktitvon ke baare mein jo prakat karti hai uske liye priya hai. Vyaas ki prati-shart dikhaati hai ki sachcha gyaan gati se oopar samajh ka sammaan karta hai, aur Ganesh ki sveekriti dikhaati hai ki teevratam man ko bhi arth ke saamne jhukna chaahiye. Har lekhak jisne prerana ke saath chalne ka sangharsh kiya hai, aur har chintak jo kathin satya samajhne ruka hai, unke charnon par chalta hai. Har yug ke lipik lekhni uthaane se pehle unse praarthana karte hain, apni kala ke pratham aur mahaanatam ka sammaan karte hue. Aaj bhi koi lekhan aarambh karne se pehle dharmaparaayan Ganesh ka aavhaahan karte hain, us devta ko yaad karke jisne ek baar sansaar ko mahaanatam mahaakaavya dene ke liye lekhni, ya daant uthaaya tha.
