By Vishwanath Bhattacharya

Vol. 6 · No. 3-4October 1977 - January 1978pp. 1Hindi

Summary

This Hindi article examines the term ‘निष्प्रयत्न’ (niṣprayatna), meaning ‘effortless’, in Kālidāsa’s poetry. The author surveys instances of the word and related compounds in works such as Raghuvaṃśa, Kumārasambhava, Meghadūta and Abhijñānaśākuntala. He argues that Kālidāsa employs niṣprayatna to depict natural or divine processes that occur without human exertion—flowers blooming, the onset of spring or the spontaneous flow of poetry. Through grammatical analysis and comparisons with later poets, the article shows that niṣprayatna conveys spontaneity and grace, reflecting Kālidāsa’s vision of a harmonious universe. यह हिंदी लेख [translate:‘निष्प्रयत्न’] (niṣprayatna) शब्द के अर्थ — ‘प्रयास‑विहीन’ या ‘स्वाभाविक’ — का  अध्ययन [translate:कालिदास] (Kālidāsa) के काव्य में करता है। लेखक ने इस शब्द और इससे संबंधित समासों के प्रयोगों का सर्वेक्षण [translate:रघुवंश] (Raghuvaṃśa), [translate:कुमारसंभव] (Kumārasambhava), [translate:मेघदूत] (Meghadūta) और [translate:अभिज्ञानशाकुन्तल] (Abhijñānaśākuntala) जैसे ग्रंथों में किया है। लेखक का मत है कि कालिदास ‘निष्प्रयत्न’ का प्रयोग उन प्राकृतिक या दैवी प्रक्रियाओं के चित्रण में करते हैं जो मानवीय प्रयास के बिना घटित होती हैं — जैसे फूलों का स्वतः खिलना, वसंत का आगमन या काव्य का सहज प्रवाह। व्याकरणिक विश्लेषण और पश्चातवर्ती कवियों से तुलना के माध्यम से लेख यह दर्शाता है कि ‘निष्प्रयत्न’ शब्द सहजता और लालित्य का सूचक है और यह कालिदास की ऐसी विश्व‑दृष्टि को प्रतिबिंबित करता है जिसमें समस्त सृष्टि सामंजस्य और अनुग्रह से परिपूर्ण है।
