Story
The story of Yayati is perhaps one of the most intriguing and fascinating episodes of Mahabharata. Yayati was a great scholar and one of the noblest rulers of olden times. He followed the shastras and was devoted to the welfare of his subjects. Even the king of gods, Indra, held him in high esteem. Married to seductively beautiful Devyani, in love with her maid Sharmishtha, and father of five sons from two women, Yayati unabashedly declared, 'My lust for pleasure is unsatisfied'. His quest for the carnal continued.

It is an irony of fate that despite being an extremely important and immortal character in the saga of Mahabharata, Ashwatthama has always been neglected. There are other characters in puranic literature, including Ashwatthama, who are considered immortal. But where other characters have received immortality in the form of a boon, Ashwatthama received in the form of a curse!

The second book in the Ajaya series, Kali ka Uday tells the story of the vanquished in the epic war Mahabharata. The book narrates the story from the point of view of the Kauravas. The story starts with the Kaurava prince Duryodhana challenging Krishna before the apocalyptic war breaks out. The author describes a city waiting with bated breadth for the outcome of the war. While women, noblemen, priests and humble beings helplessly watch the war and its consequences unfold in front of them, the greedy traders circle the skies in anticipation of what's to come next.

Publisher's Summary
‘I take back all my books thus far and declare Vaishali ki Nagarvadhu as my only work.’ (Acharya Chatursen)
Aacharya Chatursen was an important Hindi-language novelist, famous for works like Goli, Somnath, Vayam Rakshamah and Aabha. His best-known works take inspiration from historical events and characters.
His most famous work, Vaishali ki Nagarvadhu, is considered to be one of the best Hindi novels of all time. Based on the life of Ambapali, this historical novel presents a vivid image of life in India during the fifth to sixth century BC, giving the listener a glimpse of history, culture, traditions and politics of that time. It is a story about kingdoms and kings, monarchy and republic, privileges and sacrifices and also about power and subservience.
In the Republic of Vaishali - which comprises eight different states and is run by their elected representatives - lives the beautiful Ambapali. Considered to be the most beautiful woman in the whole republic, she is eventually forced to dedicate herself to the republic as a Nagarvadhu (literally, the wife of the city). She, however, demands various privileges in exchange for this and is granted all of them by the authorities, with the condition that she must fulfil her duties well. However, intoxicated by her newly found power and popularity, she soon falls in love with a man, giving birth to a son. Now a mother, she desires that her son should rule the kingdom of Magadha. Where does this desire lead her? Does she get what she wants, or does destiny have something else for her in store?

सनातन धर्म को अपमानित करने का कुत्सित प्रयास
सनातन धर्म को अपमानित करने का कुत्सित प्रयास
कहानी में अनेकों जगह पर भारतीय सनातन संस्कृति, परम्परा और ऋषि मुनियों को अपमानित करने का प्रयास किया गया है। अद्वितीय भारतीय सभ्यता को निम्न श्रेणी का बताने का प्रयास किया गया है। कहानी के पात्र असुर और राक्षस भी है, देव असुर संग्रामो का भी उल्लेख है किंतु वैदिक देव यज्ञादि मिथ्या बतायी गई है। यह विरोधाभास है। यह स्पष्ट रूप से ब्राह्मण विरोधी कादंबरी है। पुरातन काल से ब्राह्मण वर्ग समाज हितैषी है और टिका आरोपो को दुर्लक्षित करते है इसी लिये किसी और समाज विशेष के बढकर ब्राह्मणो पर ज्यादा भाष्य किया जाता है। किसी और समाज विशेष पर भाष्य करणे का साहस नही कर सकते क्यो की उन्हे प्राणो का भय होता है। किंतु ब्राह्मण समाज कभी किसी को आहात करने मे विश्वास नही करता। मुख्य कहानी विशेष को छोड वैदिक समाज रचना का विरोध यह ही इस कादंबरी का मुख्य लक्ष है। वैदिक धर्म का अभ्यास ना होने के कारण ही लेखक ने ऐसी भद्दी बातो का प्रयोग किया है। कादंबरी को शिर्षक विषय पर टिके रहना चाहिये था।
श्रेष्ठ हिंदी का उपयोग सराहनीय है।
कादंबरी के शिर्षक को छोड कर कहानी अनेक प्रकरणो मे अनेक विविध कहानिया बताती है। शिर्षक के अनुसार कहानी होनी चाहिये थी वैसी अपेक्षा होती है।

अविस्मरणीय
पुस्तक के बारे में कुछ लिखना तो छोटी मुंह बड़ी बात होगी । मैं क्या ही कहूं ! पुस्तक की भाषा कमज़ोर हिंदी वालों के लिए नहीं है । संभवतः सबसे उच्च कोटि की हिंदी इसी पुस्तक में प्रयुक्त हुई है । कथावस्तू , इतिहास की छाया भी आपके हृदय को छू जाएगी ।
अब क्योंकि मैंने श्रव्य पुस्तक का प्रयोग किया है तो कुछ शब्द पढ़ने वाले के लिए भी । नि संकोच मैं ये कहूंगा की मुझे अपनी उच्चारण पर बड़ा गर्व है । पर जिस प्रकार वाचक ने उच्चारण किया है हृदय गद गद हो गया । यद्यपि एक दो जगह आजकल की दूषित हवा का प्रभाव दिख गया । कुछ स्थानों पर गृह को ग्रह के तरह उच्चारित किया गया और कुछ एक जगह फ का स्थान फ़ ने ले लिया है । पर इससे किसी भी प्रकार से मेरा वाचक के प्रति सम्मान कम नहीं हुआ । अनिल कपूर की भांति बोलूं तो 'jhakaas' ।
