(:Literature of Great Poet (Mahakvai) Kanhyalal Dandriyal)

 नागराजा महाकाव्य में जीजा साली मजाक प्रसंग

             Bhishma Kukreti

      It is common everywhere that at the time of marriage ceremony , sister in laws do fun with dulha (Groom) . In nagraja when lord Shiva got married and the Barat was returning or doing see off . At that time , his sister in laws or sisters of Gauri from her village do fun with jeeja or brother in law (lord Shiva) . The fun is marvelous and the readers will smile. There is indication of an old custom of Negi Chari when the bride family used to offer maid servants as Dehej ( dowry)  to groom family. This is the characteristics of great poet (Mahakavi) Kanhayalal Dandriyal to narrate the serious story with local atmosphere and custom. The Nagraja is all about philosophy and mythology related to marriage of Lord Shiva with Sati but Dandriyal did not make it serious but made it as part of Garhwali society of nineties. No body can challenge the art, capacity and capability of great poet (MahakavI) Kanhayalal Dandriyal for  fine blending and  mixing  realism with philosophical and religious subject

 

                    कै बुद कैकी     बामण , करदा बिदा         बरात

                     दगडया ऐ गेन तब गौरी की ब्व्दीन जोडिहात

जीजा क दगड त्वडे   नि देई 

जाओ नेग हमारू यू चुकाई 

निम्णि   मुखडी देखी स्याळीयूँ  की

कुम्पळी स्वाणि जनी फ्यूंळी की

ब्वल्दी शिव तुम दगडू नि त्वाडा

नातो भलो प्रेम को ज्वाडा 
चलो दगड कैलास हमारा 

दास छंवां   बिन मोल तुम्हारा

विजया बोद जंगी छें छिन क्या

गाणी करदौ  गिच्ची टपटये  या

ल्हाओ नेग की झगुली बिकाओ

जोगी कर्ज हमरु ल्ही जाओ

            नन्दीश्वर ल़ा  बोली तब , झगुली मोल नी ह्वेली 

            तवे तैं छोडि नी जौंलू हम  छे तू   प्यारी स्याळी
