HARIHARESHWARI 8 : MANAV-AVATARAM

CHAPTER 47

Nandi and the other gans were looking everywhere for Vinayak. They were playing a game of hide and seek and now we're unable to find him. They were slightly panicked thinking they lost Vinayak.

"Kaha honge kumar vinayak ?" Nandi muttered worriedly.

Suddenly a fruit fell over his head, he looked up and sighed in relief seeing Vinayak on top of a swing his legs and eating fruits.

"Arrey kumar ! Niche aajayiye !" Nandi said.

"Nahi !" Vinayak shook his head.

"Yadi gir gaye toh chot lagegi !" Nandi said.

"Mujhe yaha anand aa raha hai." Vinayak said.

"Kumar Vinayak ko manana toh atyant kathin karya hai." One gan muttered.

"Yeh toh kisi ki nahi sunte." Another gan muttered.

"Kya huya ? Sab kushal toh hai ?" Mata Parvati said, coming towards them with a plate in her hand.

"Mata dekhiye na, kumar Vinayak ped se utar hi nahi rahe." Nandi said.

Mata Parvati looked at Vinayak sitting on the tree and enjoying fruits. She chuckled as she made her way towards him.

"Putra Vinayak ? Waha kya kar rahe ho ? Niche aajao." She said.

"Nahi Mata, yaha atyant anand aa raha hai. Yeh fal kitne mithe hai !" Vinayak said.

"Arrey woh fal chhodo. Dekho maine tumhare liye laddoo banaye hai." Mata Parvati said.

At that Vinayak looked down at the plate in her hands, those balls of laddoo seemed delicious. He quickly climbed down and made his way towards Mata Parvati.

She smiled as she and Vinayak sat down. With her own hands she made him eat the laddoo, eating which Vinayak was pleased beyond limits.

"Yeh toh atyant swadisht hai !" Vinayak said taking some in his hands and eating them.

Mata Parvati chuckled as she saw him eat so blissfully, but then she saw him pinching the top of the laddoo, giving it the shape of a water droplet, and then eating it. That shape really delighted him for some reason.

"Yeh kya kar rahe ho putra ?" Mata Parvati asked.

"Mata, Laddoo ko iss akaar mei khane se mujhe harsh ki prapti hoti hai." Vinayak said.

Mata Parvati smiled as she took the plate of her laddoos, and started pinching each and every ball into the shape of a watee droplet, Vinayak giggled in delight.

"Laddoo ka yeh akaar jo mere putra ki modit karta hai, aaj se inhe Modak kaha jayega." Mata Parvati said and Vinayak smiled.

Suddenly the winds started howling, Vinayak frowned while Mata Parvati smiled. Soon the winged lion Suvarchas landed, shaking the ground along with the mighty Jaladri pakshi.

Vinayak looked at them amused as he saw a divine woman and man, jumping off of their vahans and coming towards his mother.

"Mata Pranam !" They both said touching her feet.

"Ayushmaan bhava ! Saubhagyavati bhava !" Mata Parvati said.

"Mata humare paas ek atyant sukhad samachar hai." Srinav said.

"Awashya putra, kintu pehle tum dono apne Anuj Vinayak se toh mil lo." Mata Parvati said.

Both of them looked adorable chubby boy, Srinav was in awe seeing him while Amarsri frowned. Based on her dream this wasn't what she was expecting him to look like.

"Kya huya Amarsri ?" Mata Parvati asked seeing her tension.

"K-Kuch nahi Mata. Atyant man-mohak hai humara yeh Anuj. Isse pyaara balak toh maine kabhi nahi dekha." Amarsri said kneeling in front of Vinayak.

He giggled at her compliment as she smiled sighing at his cuteness.

"Satya kaha priye, humara anuj toh meri kalpana se bhi Sundar hai." Srinav said, Vinayak chuckled.

"Putra Vinayak, yeh tumhare Jyesht aur Jyeshtha hai. Tumhare sabhi Bhai Beheno mei yeh sabse bade hai." Mata Parvati said.

"Pranam." Vinayak greeted.

"Kalyanmastu !" They both blessed.

"Toh kya samachaar dene wale the tum dono ?" Mata Parvati asked.

"Mata, Pitashree Mahadev punah Kailash laut rahe hai." Amarsri said and a wide smile appeared on the face of Mata Parvati.

"Kya ? Prabhu laut rahe hai ?" Nandi perked up along with other Gans."

"Ha Nandi Ha, tumhare prabhu laut rahe. Woh kabhi bhi aa sakte hai." Srinav said.

"Nandi ! Pure Kailash ko sajj kardo ! Mere swami aa rahe hai." Mata Parvati said.

"Awashya Mata." Nandi nodded and left with other Gans following him.

"Mata, aap bhi Suchita Snaan aur Sringar karke Mahadev ke swagat hetu sajj ho jaye." Amarsri said.

"Uttam Sujhav, putri." Mata Parvati smiled.
