 Part 1

 koraaput se lakshmeepur ke raaste mein, jahaan lakshmeepur dedh kilomeetar door hai, bhayaanak dharmadvaar kanth padata hai, jahaan se pachaason pahaadiyaan thelakar aur takaraakar seedhe kamar ke bal dhaal mein khadee ho jaatee hain .

ek doosare ke bagal mein teen jaatiyon kee bastiyaan, teen mench kudiya ghar hain - goonga saahee, gadaba saahee aur paraja saahee. pankti haus taaniyaan jhat ke jaaleebadaar ke bheetar shabuza shabuza zona (makka) ke khet, kaalee mirch ke khet, tambaakoo ke khet hain, isake baahar mandiya, alasee, jaada, kandul (bade jvaar) hain....

Total 22 Ghar hai।

is gaanv ke paraja saahir sukrajaanee ne apanee tikee duniya le lee aur ise khusheebaashee mein chalaaya. mandiya pej (jao) subah mein buree shaam kabhee kam nahin huee, kamar ke daravaaje ko chaar angul kee kalam kee kabhee kamee nahin huee.

teen saal se bhee kam samay ke baad, usaka vishaal bhaaloo baig subah bah gaya, aur phir kabhee vaapas nahin aaya. koraaputiya boota - ek narabhakshee baagh use jhaadee se utha le gaya. usake baad, - sukrijaanee ne khud, bade bete mandiyaajaanee, chhote bete tikaraajaanee aur betee jode, jilee aur bilee ne duniya ko bataaya.

sanj doob gaya.

nuaaniyaan kudiya ke chhote se kone mein ek chhotee see aag timatimaatee hai. agar aapako yah pasand nahin hai to aap ek bartan mein neeboo, haree sabjiyaan, aam takua ko sukhaakar ovan mein rakh sakate hain. pahaad khodane ke baad kandhe par laathiyaan latakae maandiya aur tikara bhaee pinda ke paas aakar baith jaate hain. sukrijaanee yagy kee lau jalaata hai aur kaise vah apane man mein ek aashrayayukt santosh paata hai.

chaar chhote bachche hain, dhaangadee (yuva) aur ek ghar, ek chhota sa ghar. pahaadon aur jangalon se ghira hua aur sir ke oopar itana bada aakaash, itana vishaal vistaar - isamen bhee vah svayan ko paata hai, vah samajhata hai ki svayan mein kuchh hai.

mujhe laga ki yah andhera hai.yahaan, chaaval ko paanee diya jaata hai, aur tel banaane ke lie, vah kone mein baribaagaba ke beejon ka dher lagaata hai, pattiyaan aur beej bartan mein chale jaate hain, ya phir unhen neeche kuchal diya jaata hai aur aath dekaama, teen ya chaar bartan ubaale jaate hain. idhar-udhar alaara balara dhaan, kaupunee, luga aur teen-chaar punja lautumba se latak raha hai, jisamen poora bil sadak par le jaaya jaata hai, phir baad par patta-seem talara ya baik-too-baik talaaree ya sir kee chhataree.

usake ghar ke lie itana kuchh, saara kachara, lekin use kachara pasand hai, use chhat ke neeche badaboodaar dhuaan pasand hai, yah sab usaka hai, iseelie.

shaam dhalatee hai - poorvee ghaat kee pahaadiyon par kaee rang utarate hain, neeche ghane jangal mein samudr ka neela-kaala neela-kaala.sukrijaanee ka maanana hai ki sabhee karava likhit bhoot ya duma hain. man kee santushti se trpt, kis jaaduee dama ne yah sab racha hai - aakaash aur jangal, shaam aur raat. kaun sa dyooma saubhaagy aur aanand laata hai. toofaan, gam kaun laata hai - kaun?

yahaan pahaadee ke oopar se lekar neeche tak khaalee seedhiyaan, seedhiyaan aur hal hain. pahaadee ke neeche bheem ka hal, aaree ya gophan chala hua hai. paanee pul par uchhal-kood kar bahata tha. isake pare samatal bhoomi hai, shaantipoorn, ugr vanon se yukt pahaadiyon se ghira hua. iseelie, pahaad ke neeche se khade hokar, bada, bada, bada tyohaar।

sukrijaanee drshy ko dekhatee hai aur saamane kee chhotee-chhotee pahaadiyon ko dekhatee hai jisake saamane vah aur lobo baarish mein ek kulhaadee ke saath kandhe se kandha milaakar chalate hain, baravaman usaka pati hai. aur usake bhavishy ka laabh dekho, dooma ke haathon sab kuchh sundar bana diya gaya hai, kitane ghar banae gae hain, mandiya, tikara baaha saaha ko nasht kar diya gaya hai - beta, beta ka beta - beta ka beta, - teen sau hajaar gaayen, ghar ke saamane bada pinjara, gobarakhat.

aur charikar kee chhotee-badee pahaadiyaan, jangal saaf ho gae aur khet-khet-khet, bete ke, pote ke, pote ke.

aisa lagata hai jaise sukrijaanee sochate-sochate boodhee ho jaatee hai. gaanv ke beech guradee aam ke ped ke neeche jab kisee vyakti kee mrtyu ho jaatee hai to usake naam ka ek patthar gaad diya jaata hai.

sandhya.

sukrijaanee baaharee shakti ko pahachaanatee hai, use khokhalee aasha detee hai, aur kisee se nahin. jab vah paas kee pahaadiyon par khetee karane ke lie neeche gaya, to usane kulhaadee neeche kie bina ek baar mein paanch, chhah ghante tak kaam kiya. vidvaan (hakeem) ka bhaaree vajan akele kaavadee (bahungee) ne uthaaya tha, aur vah use rassiyon ko jhulaate hue pahaadiyon aur jangalon tak le gaya tha, kitanee baar bandar jhoole ya kaakirigumma bangale tak pahunche hain.abuaabua balua ke pair usake patthar hain, chamada usakee baarish hai. kaayala beemaar nahin padatee, aalasee nahin hotee, pachaas maaro.

mandiyaazaanee bilkul usake jaisa hai, usane tokaree mein kya rakha hai, - bail ka shareer, ek bachche ke chehare jaisa saral chehara, koee bhookh nahin, khaalee muskaan.

lekin tikaraata- keval use usakee mrt maan kee yaad dilaata hai, badabadaatee huee aankhen bhee.

shaam ko baans parivaar ko aag ke paas ek achchhee jagah par baithane ke lie ek achchhee jagah mil gaee. sukrijaanee apane kaan se ek daarapoda pinka chhadee nikaalatee hai aur usamen aag lagaatee hai, dhuaan peetee hai aur shaam kee shaanti, khulee pahaadiyon ke shareer ko peetee hai.

us din, tairaakee karate samay, jilee bilee bahan pahaadee ke neeche pool mein tair rahee thee. nahar ke kinaare pahaadee par khule hue ek aurat ke baal aur doosaree taraph ghana jangal. saphed paanee oonche chanchara (chattaan) par uchhalata aur girata hai, jangal mein asankhy du-too-ma (jharane) kee tarah neeche ludhakata hai. sir par pedon kee chhaaya, dhaal kee mez aur paanee par mandiya ke khet bikhare hue hain. laal, laal sadak sadak ke kinaare chalatee hai, saamp aur saamp.

satrah aur chaudah saal kee jilee aur bilee nahar ke kinaare chupachaap naha rahe the. paraja ke snaan pratha ke anusaar diheka langala. jilee pharsh par pahane hue "panchua" kapade kee or mud gaee, bilee ne paanee kee botal usake bagal mein rakh dee aur paanee mein baith gaya, apane sir ko khatte mirch phal ke saabun ke jhaag se ragadata tha, aur kabhee-kabhee apane sir ko thapathapaata tha. sir par paanee daalen aur donon haathon se paanee ko hilaen.
