shathkop sanskrit ka prkaanD vidvan tha. wo gyani tha kintu dhan ka uske paas nitant abhav tha. wo jis nagar mein rahta tha vahan lakshmiputron ki kami thi atः shathkop ko paryapt dhan nahin mil pata tha. uski ichchha thi ki wo Dher sara dhan kamakar ek shreshth sanskrit vidyalay arambh kare jismen door door se chhaatr paDhne ke liye ayen. uski is ichchha ko poorn na hote dekhkar uski patni ne use salah di ki use anya nagron mein jakar dhan kamane ka prayas karna chahiye.

apni patni ki salah mankar dhan kamane ke uddeshya se shathkop anya nagron mein gaya jahan usne apne panDitya ka pradarshan karke lakshmiputron ko prabhavit kiya aur apar dhan kamaya. kamaye hue dhan ko usne ek kapDe mein potli ki bhanti baandh liya aur apne nagar ki or laut chala. wo ye sochkar atyant praphullit tha ki sanskut vidyalay kholne ka apna sapna ab pura kar sakega. durbhagyavash ganti namak chor shathkop ke pichhe lag gaya. usne shathkop se parichay praapt kiya aur uske saath saath chalne laga. phir uchit avsar pakar uski potli chura li.

shathkop ke dukh ka thikana na raha. apne nagar mein pravesh karte hi uske dhan ki potli kisi ne chura li thi.

shathkop ghar aakar maun rahne laga. uski patni ko uske is vyvahar par bahut ashcharya hua.

‘kya baat hai? main dekh rahi hoon ki jab se aap dusre nagron ka bhrman karke aaye hain tab se bahut kam bolte hain aur udaas dikhai dete hain. ’ shathkop ki patni ne usse puchha.

‘nahin, koi baat nahin hai. ’ shathkop ne talna chaha. use laga ki patni ko pata chalega to wo bhi dukhi hogi.

‘kya anya nagron mein aapke panDitya ki koi poochh nahin hui?’ shathkop ki chatur patni ne dusre Dhang se puchhna shuru kiya.

‘nahin, aisi baat nahin hai. sabhi nagron mein mere panDitya ko apar sarahna mili. ’ shathkop ne kaha.

‘to un logon ne aapke panDitya ko saraha bhar hoga lekin dhan van nahin diya hoga. ’ patni ne kaha.

‘nahin, unhonne mujhe apar dhan diya. itna dhan ki main ek shreshth sanskrit vidyalay khol sakun. ’ shathkop ne utsahit hokar kaha.

‘to phir wo apar dhan kahan gaya? kya aap wo dhan unhin nagron ke bhikhariyon ko de aaye? haan, aapne avashya yahi kiya hoga. ’ patni ne kaha.

‘nahin, main wo dhan saath la raha tha kintu nagar mein pravisht hote hi kisi ne wo dhan chura liya. ’ patni ki baton mein ulajh kar shathkop asli baat bata baitha.

‘are, phir bhi aap shok manane baithe hain? aapko to chahiye ki aap jakar is bare mein nyayadhish maryadaraj se charcha karen. ve aapko aapka dhan avashya dila denge. ’ patni ne shathkop ko samjhaya.

‘tum theek kahti ho. dukh ke karan main kuch bhi theek se soch nahin pa raha tha. tumne mujhe rasta dikhakar achchha kiya. ’ ye kahkar shathkop ne apni patni ko dhanyavad diya aur nyayadhish maryadaraj ke paas pahuncha. shathkop ne chori ke sambandh mein sari baten shathkop ko bata deen.

shathkop ne nagar ke sabhi choron ko pakaDva kar shathkop ke samne la khaDa kiya. shathkop ne ganti chor ko dekhte hi pahchan liya.

‘yahi hai wo chor jisne meri potli churai. ’ shathkop, ganti ko dekhte hi uttejit ho utha.

‘yah sarasar jhooth bolta hai. mainne ise aaj se pahle kabhi dekha hi nahin. ’ ganti ne muskurate hue kaha.

chunki ganti ne jis samay shathkop ki potli churai thi us samay shathkop sustane ke liye ruka tha aur use jhapki lag gai thi. atः usne ganti ko chori karte svayan nahin dekha tha. sakshya aur gavah ke abhav mein ganti ko doshamukt thahraya gaya. ganti ne svayan bhi nirdosh hone ka achchha pradarshan kiya.

maryadaraj ne ganti ko doshamukt kar to diya kintu wo samajh gaya ki ganti hi asli chor hai aur usi ne shathkop ki potli churai hai. shathkop ne do guptachar bhikhari ke vesh mein ganti ke pichhe laga diye.

ganti jab apne ghar pahuncha to usne ghamanD mein aakar hanste hue apni patni ko nyayalay ki karyavahi ke bare mein bataya.

‘dekho, mainne kaisa ullu banaya sabhi ko. ’ ganti ne kaha.

‘to wo potli hai kahan? use to mainne bhi nahin dekha? ganti ki patni ne ganti se puchha.

‘vah is takiye mein rakhi hui hai jise main pratidin apne sir ke niche rakhta hoon. ganti ne apni patni ko bataya.

ye baat maryadaraj ke guptachron ne bhi sun li. ve tatkal dauDkar maryadaraj ke paas ge aur unhonne takiye ke bare mein maryadaraj ko jankari di. tab maryadaraj ne shathkop aur ganti ko bulvaya.

‘dekho ganti, mere paas ek kasauti hai jis par main pratidin apne dvara kiye ge nyaay ko kas kar dekhta hoon. yadi mera nyaay sahi hota hai to kasauti mujhe badhai deti hai kintu yadi main agyanvash nyaay mein koi truti kar jata hoon to nyaay ki kasauti mujhe apradhi aur uske apradh ke bare mein sab kuch bata deti hai jisse main apni truti sudhar sakun. aaj mere nyaay ki kasauti ne mujhe bataya hai ki tumne shathkop ki dhan ki potli churai hai aur use apni takiye mein chhipakar rakha hai. ab tum sidhe sidhe potli shathkop ko de do anyatha tumhein ajanm karavas aur ek hazar koDe lagaye jane ka danD diya jayega. ’ maryadaraj ne ganti se kaha.

maryadaraj ki baat sunkar ganti bhayvash tharthar kanpne laga.

‘mujhse bahut baDi bhool hui, mujhe kshama kar dijiye. ’ kahte hue ganti maryadaraj ke charnon par gir paDa aur usne shathkop ki dhan ki potli shathkop ko lauta di.

apni dhan ki potli milne par shathkop bahut prasann hua. aage chalkar usne ek bahut baDa sanskrit vidyalay sthapit kiya jismen door door se chhaatr aakar shiksha grhan karne lage. tab tak ganti bhi samajh gaya tha ki nyaay ki kasauti se koi apradhi nahin bach sakta hai. atः usne chaurykarm ka tyaag kar iimandari se jivan vyatit karna prarambh kar diya.

shathkop sanskrit ka prkaanD vidvan tha. wo gyani tha kintu dhan ka uske paas nitant abhav tha. wo jis nagar mein rahta tha vahan lakshmiputron ki kami thi atः shathkop ko paryapt dhan nahin mil pata tha. uski ichchha thi ki wo Dher sara dhan kamakar ek shreshth sanskrit vidyalay arambh kare jismen door door se chhaatr paDhne ke liye ayen. uski is ichchha ko poorn na hote dekhkar uski patni ne use salah di ki use anya nagron mein jakar dhan kamane ka prayas karna chahiye.
