Sampo ka Adhikaran

Jab jaadui kantele taiyaar ho gaya, teen mahan veer aur jaadugar phir se udaas Northland ki oor rawana hue. Ilmarinen ne jahaaz ke ek taraf navon ka netritva kiya, aur Lemminkainen ne doosri taraf, aur praacheen Wainamoinen ne patvaar sambhala. Ve sheeghr hi Pohjola pahunche aur Louhi ke ghar ke paas utare.

Jab ve apna jahaaz kinare par kheench kar laaye, ve sab Louhi ke ghar gaye, aur Wainamoinen ne usse kaha ki ve Sampo ke liye aaye hain; agar vah unhe sirf bahurangi dhakkan de degi to ve santusht hokar chale jaayenge, lekin agar nahin, to ve poora Sampo bal-poorvak le jaayenge. Tab Louhi bahut krodhit hui aur Northland ke sabhi yoddhaon ko unhe maarne ke liye bula liya. Lekin Wainamoinen ne apna kantele bajana shuru kiya, aur uske sangeet itne adbhut meethe the ki yoddha ladai bhool gaye aur rone lage, aur Pohjola ki saari kanyaen naachne lagi. Wainamoinen phir bhi bajata raha, jab tak ki Northland ke sabhi logon par geeri neend nahin aa gayi. Phir usne bajana band kiya, aur un par ek shaktishaali mantra daala, taaki ve jaag na saken.

Jab Pohjola ke sabhi log geeri neend mein the, teen mahan veer jaadui Sampo ki khoj mein pahaadon ki oor gaye. Aur jaise hi ve ja rahe the, Wainamoinen ne aisa adbhut sangeet bajaya ki bade-bade pahaad unke saamne khul gaye, aur unhe us sthal tak ek khula raasta mil gaya jahaan Sampo chhupa hua tha. Jab ve us gupha ke paas pahunche jismein Sampo rakha tha, unhonne Lemminkainen ko gupha mein jaakar use bahar laane ke liye bheja.

Usne, apni shakti par ghamand karte hue, gupha mein pravesh kiya, aur jaadui Sampo ko pakadkar, use uthane ke liye apni poori shakti lagayi, lekin vah apni jagah par atal raha, kyunki uski jarein dharti mein gehri ho gayi thin, aur use mazbooti se bandh rahi thin.

Phir Lemminkainen ko ek vishal bail yaad aaya jo usne khet mein dekha tha, jiske seeng saat falam lambe the, aur vah uske peeche gaya aur use sabse bade hala se jod diya jo use mila, aur Sampo ko pakde hue jadon ke chaaron oor jotna shuru kar diya. Aur bahut hi kum samay mein jarein dhili ho gayin, aur ve jaadui Sampo ko utha kar apne jahaaz par le jaane mein saksham ho gaye.

Jaise hi vah surakshit roop se jahaaz par rakha gaya, ve door chale gaye, saare Pohjola ke logon ko sota chhodkar. Ve apne Kalevala ke gharon ki oor udte chale gaye; lekin Lemminkainen is shaanti se thak gaya, aur usne Wainamoinen se poochha ki vah unka manoranjan karne ke liye kyon nahin gaata. Lekin Wainamoinen ne uttar diya ki gaan se keval navon ko asuvidha hogi, aur yah sabse achha hai ki saara khatra taal jaane tak kabhi khushi na maana jaaye. Aakhir mein, jab ve apni yaatra par teen din chal chuke the, Lemminkainen Wainamoinen ki chuppee par krodhit ho gaya, aur khud gaana shuru kar diya. Lekin uski aawaz karkash aur surheen lag rahi thi, aur isse jahaaz bhi kaamp uttha.

Door kinare par ek saaras sarakhand ke beech khadi thi, apne pair ki ungliyan ginakar apna manoranjan kar rahi thi. Lekin jab usne Lemminkainen ke gaane ke prayas suna, vah itni dar gayi ki chillaati hui Pohjola ke oopar ud gayi, aur apni cheekh se saare sote hue logon ko jaga diya. Jaise hi Louhi jaagi, usne jaldi se apne kotharon aur pashushalaon ki oor bhagi ye dekhne ke liye ki kya chori hua hai, lekin usne sab kuch theek paaya. Agla kadam usne pahaadon ki oor, us gupha ki jahaan usne Sampo chhupaya tha, bhagi, lekin jab vah wahan pahunchi to usne gupha ko khali paya, aur dekha ki uske mehmaanon ne Sampo ko uske bandhanon se kaise tod diya hai.

Phir Louhi gusse aur dar se paile hue apne ghar waapas aayi, kyunki vah jaanti thi ki agar Sampo kho gaya to Northland ki saari samृddhi uske saath kho jaayegi. Isliye usne kohre ki devi ko bulaya, aur use Wainamoinen ke jahaaz mein der karne ke liye bheja. Aur phir usne Iko-Turso--samudra ki gehrai mein rehne wala ek dusht raakshas--ko bulaya ki vah jahaaz tak tairkar jaaye aur use doobaye, aur usmein baithhe aadmiyon ko khaaye, lekin Sampo ko Pohjola waapas laaye. Aur usne, iske alawa, mahaan Ukko se praarthana ki ki agar samudri raakshas safal na ho sake, to Ukko khud ek bhayanak toofaan bheje jo jahaaz ko tabaah kar de.

Pehle kohre ki devi aayi, aur unhe itne ghane kohre mein lapet diya ki ve hil nahin sake. Teen din ve aise pade rahe, aur phir Wainamoinen ne apni talwaar nikaali, chillate hue: 'Hum sab yahan kohre mein mar jayenge agar ise bhagane ka koi prayas na kiya gaya,' aur in shabdon ke saath usne apni talwaar se laharein maari. Dhaar se shahad ki ek dhara bah nikli, aur ek hi baar mein kohra chhat gaya, aur unke saamne raasta saaf kar diya. Lekin kohra gayab hote hi unhonne ek bheeshan garajne ki aawaz suni, aur jhag unke jahaaz ke kinare se oopar uthne laga, aur jahaaz ko dhakne laga. Phir Wainamoinen jahaaz ke kinare par jhuka, aur apna haath baahar badha kar usne kuch pakda jo usne paani mein dekha, aur bhayaanak raakshas Iko-Turso ko oopar kheench laaya.

Lekin raakshas paani se bahar nikaale jaane par itna dar gaya ki usne waada kiya ki vah unhe shaanti se chhod dega, aur phir kabhi paani ke oopar nahin aayega agar Wainamoinen use sirf chhod de. Isliye Wainamoinen ne use jaane diya, aur doosra khatra taal gaya।

Lekin ab teesra aur sabse bhayaanak aaya, kyonki Ukko ne ek shaktishaali toofani hawa bheji, jisne laharein krodh se kotide, aur samudra ko uski gahrai tak hila diya. Aur jahaaz ke pehle hi uchaal par, jaadui kantele laharein baha kar le gayin, aur Ahto, samudra ke devta, ne use pakadkar apne ghar le gaya laharein ke neeche. Phir Wainamoinen apne adbhut yantra ke kho jaane par vilaap karne laga; lekin jaise-jaise toofaan aur badhta gaya, aur unke jahaaz ko pankh ki tarah uchhalta raha, sab sawaar nirasha mein pad gaye ki ve kabhi zinda kinare tak pahunch payenge. Lekin Wainamoinen ne unhe dhaarsan aur saahas diya, aur usne, Ilmarinen aur Lemminkainen ne apne jaadui mantron se hawaon aur laharein ko shaant kiya, aur toofaan se jahaaz ko jo kshiti hui thi use theek kiya. Aur phir ve shaanti se apne raaste par aage badhe.
