कूपयुद्धे वृद्धा शिष्यहत्या #२६१

Event occured on 1762-02-05 (gregorian).

In an incident known as vaDDa-gallughAra, 40k durrAni paThAn soldiers (from dawn to early afternoon) killed 10k to 20k sikhs (retreating from Kup Rahira, 12 km north of Malerkotia). Sikhs (5k-10k fighters escorting 40k others, including women, children and elderly) could not resort to their usual hit and run tactics. jassa Singh ahluvAlia and charat singh Sukkarchakkia (grandfather of raNajIt singh) had ordered the men to encircle their retreating non-combatants and protect them as they retreated. Abdali was able to break the protective ring and carry out a massacre of about 20k civilians.

Background: After the victory over marAThas at pAnIpat, the afghans were harrassed by sikhs. At a general assembly (Sarbatt Khalsa) of the Dal at Amritsar convened on the occasion of Divali, 27 October 1761, it was resolved to punish the agents, informers and collaborators of the Afghans, beginning with Aqil Das of Jandiala, head of the Niranjania sect. Aqil Das despatched messengers to Ahmad Shah Durrani. Earlier, Durrani had returned to Amritsar and blew up the Harimandir Sahib. As a deliberate act of sacrilege, the pool around it was filled with cow carcasses.

माघ-मास-अन्तिमत्रयतिथि-व्रत-समापनम्

Observed on Paurṇamāsī tithi of Māghaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Last three days of māgha-māsaḥ are especially sacred. By means of baths in Māgha, calamities perish. By means of baths in Māgha sins perish. Māgha is superior to all sacrifices, and gives the fruit of (all kinds of) charity. Māgha roars (louder) than sacrifices. Māgha roars (louder) than yōga. And O vidyādhara, Māgha roars (louder) than severe penance. The fruit which men obtain by (observing) restraints for ten years at Puṣkara, Kurukṣetra, Brahmāvarta having profuse water, at Avimukta, Prayāga, confluence of Gaṅgā and the ocean, is obtained by bathing for three days in Māgha! There is no doubt! Those, in whose mind there is, for a long time, interest in heaven, should bathe in water anywhere when the Sun is in makara. Those who desire to have qualities like (long) life, (good) health, wealth, handsomeness, good fortune, should not give up bathing in Māgha. So also those who are afraid of hell, of poverty that is heaped, should by all means bathe in the month of Māgha. O best king, for washing off the mud of poverty, sins and bad luck, there is no other remedy than a bath in Māgha. Acts done without faith give small fruits. (But) a bath in Māgha gives the entire fruit. He who, with or without a desire, bathes anywhere outside (his house) in water, does not have sorrows in this or in the next world. As in the two fortnights the Moon waxes and wanes, in the same way in Māgha sins decrease and the heap of religious merit increases. As various gems come up from a mine, so religious merit of men springs up due to a bath in Māgha. As the desire-yielding cow fulfils the desire, or the desire-yielding gem gives the desired object, so a bath in Māgha fulfils all desires in the world. Penance is the best in Kṛtayuga, knowledge in Tretā-yuga, sacrifice in Dvāpara, knowledge (devotion?) in Kaliyuga, and Māgha in all the ages. The bath in Māgha, O king, showers with the streams of merit all the castes and the stages of life. (Translation: https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/the-padma-purana/d/doc365704.html)
