Leviathan Ki Kahani
Bohat purani baat hai, jab duniya ka har kona abhi apne roop mein nahi aaya tha, aur samundar apne ghrishman aur shaanti ke beech ek paheli thi, wahan ek aisi prani thi jiska naam Leviathan tha. Is prani ka astitva itna visaal aur adbhut tha ki ise samajhna insaan ke bas ka kaam nahi tha. Yeh kahani samundar ki gehraiyon mein chhupi hui thi, jo sirf sabse gyaanvan rishiyon aur samundri safaron ke dvara jaane jaati thi.
Leviathan Ki Janm Kahani
Pehle, jab duniya mein sab kuch naaya tha, aur samundar apne karyavahi mein sthir nahi the, wahan ek samay aaya jab Vritra, mahaa naag, samundar ke jal ko band kar raha tha. Puranon mein yah kaha gaya hai ki Vritra ne sabhi jal ko apne aakrosh ke saath band kar rakha tha, aur prithvi ka jeevan bhi uss bandhan mein atka hua tha. Is samay, devtaon ko ise sudharne ke liye Indra ko bheja gaya, jo Vajra se Vritra se lad kar usse jeet gaya aur jal ko mukti di.
Lekin Vritra ki maut ke saath, uske jeevan ka andhera samundar ke gehrayon mein chhup gaya, aur wahaan ek naye prani ka janm hua—Leviathan. Yeh ek mahaa saap tha, jo samundar ki gehraiyon se uth kar puri duniya mein apni dahshat phelaane laga. Uske shareer par sona jaise chamakdar scales the, aur uski aankhon mein suraj ki tarah chamak thi. Yeh janm vidhata ke dwara nahi, balki chaos aur gyaan ka ek mishran tha.
Leviathan Ka Uthna
Vishaal aur vidhwanshak Leviathan kuch samay tak samundar ki gehraiyon mein chhup kar raha, lekin jab bhi duniya ka santulan bigadta, jab bhi samundar ka paani uchhalta ya hawaen ghoomti, yeh prani apni aankhon ko kholta aur samundar ke andar ki gehraiyon se nikal aata.
Ek samay, jab Kali Yuga ka prarambh ho raha tha—jab duniya ka har kone mein mahaul utna hi andhera ho raha tha—samundar apni purani halchal se jhajhakte hue Leviathan ko jagrit kar diya. Leviathan samundar ki gehraiyon se nikal kar unchi lehron ke saath dikhayi diya. Uski upasthiti ne manushyon aur rajyon ko dar se kaanpne par majboor kar diya. Lekin is mahaan prani ka uddeshya kabhi bhi naash nahi tha, balki vishwa ka santulan sthapit karna tha.
Leviathan Ki Bhavishyavani
Vedas aur puranon mein ek bhavishyavani thi jo kahati thi ki ek din Leviathan samundar se ubhar kar duniya ko badal dega. Yah badlav Kali Yuga ka prarambh hoga, lekin yah keval vinash ka samay nahi, balki punarjanm aur ek naye aadi ka samay hoga. Is bhavishyavani ke mutabik, Leviathan ko samundar ke apne andhakar ko apne pet mein sametkar duniya ko sudhaar kar nayi roshni dena tha.
Devas aur Asuras dono hi Leviathan ki upasthiti se kaafi dar gaye the. Unhone ise maha-pralaya ka sanket samjha, lekin Vishnu, jo prithvi ka palankarta the, samajh gaye the ki Leviathan ka asli uddeshya kya hai. Vishnu ne samjha ki Leviathan na to naash ka pratik hai, na hi vidhwansh ka, balki yah vishwa ke santulan ko banaaye rakhne wala ek prani hai.
Vishnu Ki Leviathan Se Mulakaat
Ek din, jab samundar ka gussa tha aur Leviathan ne apne paripurna shaktimaan roop ko dikha diya, Vishnu apne Kurma Avatar (kacchhua roop) mein prithvi par utare. Vishnu ka lakshya tha ki woh Leviathan ke saath samundar ki gehraiyon ka gyaan prapt karein.
Vishnu, apne divya vahan Garuda par baith kar, samundar ki gehraiyon ki or nikal pade. Jab Leviathan ne Vishnu ko apne saamne dekha, toh usne apne shaant roop ko apne samundar ke shabd mein chhupa liya. Vishnu ne apni divya aawaz mein kaha:
“Mahaan Leviathan, tumhare paas samundar ka gyaan hai, tumhi duniya ki shanti aur karyavahi ke devta ho. Tumhara uddeshya naash karna nahi, balki santulan sthapit karna hai. Tum samundar ke raajdhani ho, aur tumhara prabhaav hamesha janm aur vinash ke beech ka ek milan hoga.”
Leviathan ki aankhon mein apaar gyaan tha. Usne apne shareer ko samundar ke gehrayon mein dooba diya, apni shakti ko Vishnu ke shabdon ke saath samajh liya. Uske baad, Leviathan apne sthaan par laut gaya, aur samundar ki gehraiyon mein chhup gaya, apna kaam poora kar diya.
Leviathan Ki Virasat
Leviathan ka kahani keval ek bhayankar prani ki nahi thi, balki yeh ek pratik thi jo dikhata tha ki samundar aur jeevan ka santulan kaise banaye rakha jata hai. Leviathan ab ek vidhwansh ka roop nahi tha, balki ek dharmic gaurav tha jo prakriti ke do prakar—vinash aur srishti—ko ekatha karne ka kaam karta tha.
Samay ke saath, Leviathan ko samundar ki gehraiyon ka pratik maana gaya. Yah unka pratik tha jo prabhav ke saath duniya ke santulan ko banaye rakhte hain—lekin yeh kabhi nahi dekhte ki kab duniya apni aakhri simaayi tak pahuchti hai.
