Megher koler arale chalechhe
Shashanka ati dhire,
Kul kul swane bahitechhe srot
Nimne tatini nire.
Adhek jochhana adhek andhare
Shilpi manas hara
Apurba rup karechhe dharan
Amader ei dhara.
Ashrita jata bitapi nichay
Rishi ashram majhe,
Shobhita dekhiya phal phul sathe
Nandan ban laje.
Nijer ruper doinya nehari
Mastak kare nichu
Bidhatar kache abhijog kari
Balite parena kichhu.
Sedin shubhra pulak nishai
Shudhalen rishi ese
Dekhe nirajane swiya patnire
Prashanta bhase hese.
“Ektu laban Bishwamitra
Rishi hate jeche ano
Kato bhalobasi sei priyatame
Taki tumi nahi jano?”
Shune e adesh bishmita haye
Shudhalen debi dhire
“Bhikarini bese jabo tar dare
Anata kariya shire?
Je rishi kareche banchita more
Shatek putra hate
Nije mata haye se shaker chhaya
Bhule jabo kanmate?”
Sushupta smriti jagiya uthilo
Shuni Bashishtha bani
Ashru purna hoiya uthilo
Snigdha badan khani.
“Santan shata ajike e hena
Kaumudi snata rate
Pabitra mane bed gan kare
Beraita ek sathe.
Mor bedagya brahma nishtha
Shatek tanaye dhare
Pathaye diyeche jei nishthur
Hese Jamaraj kare.
Tar dare mor laban bhikka
Balo e adesh kena?
Ki karane prabhu ei byathi prane
Nithur agya hena?“
Jyotite puma hoiya uthilo
Rishir anan khani
Parabar sama hriday haite
Shudhu e koiti bani.
Nisrita halo, “Rajarshi jeno
Priya mor chirakal.”
“Tai jadi hoi ekti kathai
Mite jeto janjhal.
More o shatek santan hate
Banchita hate ar
Hotana kakhano ohe priyatama
Karunar parabar!”
Apurba rup karilo dharan
Rishir adhar khani
Bhalobasi bale balinai taha
Balen se mahagyani.
“Brahma rishi je paribe je hate
Asha mor ajo ache,
Jibaner majhe barek bani
Shunite amar kache.
Ek mane base dibase nishite
Ache se je dhyane rata
Ogo priyatama janona je taha
Keman kathor brata.”
Pagaler sama khubdha hoiya
Bishwamitra aj
Chariyache sab apanar jato
Tapascharjya kaj.
Bashishtheri pran nashibare
Tarabari niye hate
Asthir bhabe Bishwamitra
Bahir halen rate.
Kutirer pashe daraye khanek
Shuni Bashishtha bani
Lajjai rishi atidrutagati
Swiya mastak khani.
Anata karen mahan rishir
Jugal dharan tale
Sahaj saral bhakter sama
Kathati nahika bale.
Bashishtha Deb apanar hate
Loiya tahake tule
Brahmarshi bale shudhalen tar
Purber smriti bhule.
Khamar jogya nahi bale rishi
Muchiya ashrudhar
Udar rishir charan kamale
Pranamila barbar.
“Sukh dukh ar man apaman
Bhuliya karecho labh
Ohe rajarshi aji shubha rate
Brahma rishir bhab.”
Bashishtha mukhe ei bani shune
Deba banchita shikkha
Karilo jachna sei rishi raj
Brahma gyaner dikkha.
“Ananta Deb diben tomai
Sei amulya dhan
Shikkha dikkha shakti sahas
Jaha kichu prayojan.”
Upanita haye Ananta kache
Kahilen rishi raj
“Kripa kare prabhu dikkha amai
Pradan karun aj.“
“Ogo maharshi dikkha tomai
Pradan karite pari,
Paro jadi tumi rakhite e dhara
Jabe dibo ami chari.”
Abhimani rishi Ananta Debe
Kahilen smita hese
“Kichu bhoi nai dharite paribo
Rakhun e shir deshe.”
Ananta Deb chere dilo jabe
Kahilen rishi twara
“Mor tapa bale nimesher maje
Drita hok ei dhara.”
Kono mate mahi nahi halo sthir
Shunye ghuriya pare
Teman shakti chilona tahar
Bishwe rakhite dhare.
“Sadhu sajjan jogi muni rishi
Punya baner kache
Giyecho ki tumi kono din rishi
Ei jibaner majhe?”
“Sei saubhagya hoi nai kabhu
Tabe ajo mane ache
Shudhu kichu kal chhilam sedin
Bashishtha Deb kache.”
“He rishi prachin se punya phal
Karogo pradan twara
Ta na hale jeno shanta kakhano
Habena basundhara.”
“Sadhu sanger phalti ebar
Karchi pradan prabhu
Ki karite ar pari ami balo
Shanto na hale tabu?”
Dhire ati dhire shanta haile
Mahir chalar gati
Sei abhilash puma karite
Ananta Deb prati.
Puna phire ese jachna karilo
Nirbodh rishi raj
Birakta haye Ananta bale,
“Nai ki tomar laj?”
“Ei sthan hate he abodh rishi
Ekhani chaliya jao
Bashishtha rishi guru deb tabo
Sharan tahan nao.
Jar sathe mishe abanir bhar
Bahite perecho tumi
Dikkha ekhan jachna karoge
Tahar charan chumi.”
Krodhe khobhe dukhe phire ese purna
Bashishtha Deb kache
Brahma gyaner anata badane
Sei rajarshi jache.
“Aspriha mor purna karite
Pratobindane prabhu
Tapascharjya kariyachi jeno
E chalana kena tabu.”
“Ogo priyatama jasher garima
Man ar apaman
Bhulegecho tumi tai toma aj
Ditechi brahma gyan.
Age jadi pete kakano tomar
Haito na pratyoy
Ekhan ditechi sei mahagyan
Nai ar kono bhoy.”
Sanga phalei pritthi dharan
Jaha aj upakatha
Ek kale chhilo moder deshe
Teman bichitrata.
Jogi muni rishi sadhu sajjan
Eman khamar phal
Jar bale chilo moder bharat
Pabitra ujjwal.
Debalok hate asiteche purna
Teman mahan rishi
Jader prabhabe se rishir prabha
Dhulai jaibe mishi.
