Introduction[edit]
Dharma, sin, equanimity, love, caste affection and world-friendliness have been explained many times in 3 numbers and 31 scenes of the play 'Janmejaya Ka Nag-Yagna'. Priesthood has been considered a cause of war and violence. Mansa calls the greedy of Dakshina a disgusting animal. Trivikram considers dancing a monkey and a goat to be a better deed than priesthood. Violent tendencies like Balikarma etc. have been called irreligious in this. This is the drama of the caste war created by caste humiliation and priesthood and the way to get rid of it. In the context of this play, Dr. Satyaprakash Mishra has written:
" In that period of the independence movement, such dramas work to strengthen the feeling of nationalism by building a wide mass base and at the same time, at the same time, they also build social culture by going to a deeper level. Equality, justice and fraternity of mankind are the themes of this play at the level of value."[5]
Summary[edit]
Janmejaya ka Nag Yagya is an important mythological play by Jaishankar Prasad. Arjuna had made the Khandava region described in the Mahabharata , due to which many species were destroyed. Among these creatures there was a snake race, which was determined to take revenge for its destruction from the Kuru tribes. In the story sequence, krishna established the relations of marriage and friendship with this Snake dynasty. But the vengeance of the serpents did not end. Abhimanyu's son Parikshit was deceived by these serpents. In response to which Parikshit's son Janmejaya resolved to end this snake caste forever. At that time, King Ashwamedha used to perform Yagya for the prestige of his royal supremacy. Janmejaya also performed a yajna here, in which the heads of the serpents were killed when they were disturbed. But to balance the prestige and autocracy of humanity, marital and friendly relations were again established with the Nag caste. Based on this incident, Prasad ji has composed this play. The history or Mythological-exploration vision of Prasad ji, here too, the whole sequence of events is described in literary terms.
