‘Priya-Pravaas’ Hindi – Khadi Boli – ka pratham Mahakavya hai jo swanaam dhanya Mahakavi Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay ‘Hariodh’ ki amar kriti hai; kintu kitne log jaante hain ki yah Mahakavya us rashtra-bhaasha Hindi ka sheesh-mukut hai jis par humein garv hai! Phir se sahitya-premiyon ko Hindi sahitya ki jadon tak le jaane ke uddeshya se ise sankalit evam sampadit karke prakashit kiya gaya hai.Atyant sumadhur kavya ke roop mein Yug-Purush Shri Krishna ke Gokul se Mathura pravaas aur unke viyog se vyathit Gokul-vaasiyon ki virah-vedana ka saras chitraṇ ismein hai. Vah ek prakaar se har praani ki vedana hi hai jo vah us samay anubhav karta hai jab koi swajan pravaas hetu jaata hai ya prayaan karta hai, jo ki sansriti ka apariharya lakshan hi hai.Aasakti, moh aur mamta sab dukhon ka mool hai; gyaan dukhon se mukti ka saadhan! Is mahaakhyaan ka yahi saar atha chaitanya sandesh samajh mein aata hai. Hindi bhaasha dekha jaaye to baatoon ki bhaasha hai; padhne-likhne waale usmein gine-chune hi hain; pustak kharidkar padhne waale to utne bhi nahin! Ataev prastut Mahakavya mein kuch ruchi jagrat karne ke dhyey se prakaashakeey ke roop mein sarg-kram se thoda vivaran bhi diya gaya hai.‘Priya-Pravaas’ ki bhoomika ek prakaar se kavya-shaastra ka poora vivechan hi hai. Atah bada upaadey bhi hai: paathakon ke liye bhi, udiyamaan kaviyon ke liye bhi. Ismein satrah sarg hain aur Gokul ki ek shaam se shuru hokar yah Kans dvaara Krishna ko Mathura bulaaye jaane se Braj mein utpann maanveey vikshobh ka marm-sparshi chitraṇ hai jismein aasakti, moh, pranay ityadi ke kaaran vikal hote Brajvaasiyon ke samaksh gyaani Uddhav ki vishwastha ka bhi bada saras chitraṇ hai; moh-grast jan viraag ki baat nahin sunte!
