गुजरात-ग्राम-युद्धम् #१७४

Event occured on 1849-02-21 (gregorian).

East India Company British troops under Hugh Gough, aided mostly by superior artillery, smashed rAjA sher-singh’s army at Gujrat village near Chenab.

Sher Singh was unable to find sufficient food for his army - his retreat east towards friendly sikh villages was blocked by a swollen Chenab with a few fords defended by irregular Muslim cavalry under British officers. Sher Singh withdrew to Gujrat, where his army hastily prepared a defensive position - alas, the terrain was not as advantageous as in Chillianwala. 96 Field Guns + 67 Siege Guns of the British overwhelmed Sher Singh’s 60 guns in a 3 hour battle. The artillery then assisted the British infantry advance. Finally, the cavalry took up a ruthless pursuit, which turned the Sikh retreat into a rout over 12 miles (19 km).

Aftermath: The remnants of Sher Singh’s forces retreated across the Jhelum River and into progressively rougher country with Muslim villagers for eleven days, but Sher Singh was finally forced to agree to British terms for surrender.

कॊच्चॆङ्गट् चोऴ नायऩ्मार् (६०) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Kumbhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Chandra Tirtha, within the Chola kingdom, there was a sacred Shiva Lingam under a Jambu tree in a dense grove. A devout white elephant and a spider both worshiped the Lingam, but in conflicting ways. The elephant would remove the spider’s web, thinking it dirtied the sacred site, while the spider spun webs to protect the Lingam from falling leaves. One day, their conflicting devotions led to a tragic end: the spider stung the elephant as it was removing the web, resulting in both their deaths.

This spider was reborn as a prince, the son of Chola king Shuba Devan and queen Kamalavati, who prayed to Lord Nataraja of Chidambaram for a child. Born with red eyes due to delayed birth, he was named Kochengat Cholan. His mother passed away at his birth, and his father later retired for spiritual pursuits.

As king, Kochengat Cholan became a great patron of Shaivism. He constructed a temple at Tiru Anai Ka (now known as Tiruvanaikovil, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZjkFyEot58UzTkNu8), at the same spot where he, as a spider, had once built webs over the Lingam. Throughout the Chola kingdom, he built numerous shrines and provided for the Brahmins of Tillai, ensuring regular worship at Chidambaram. His contributions to Shaivism were immortalized in the poet Poygayar’s work ‘Kalavazhi Narpathu’. Ultimately, Kochengat Cholan attained the divine abode of Lord Shiva.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः

  • 09:05→05:58

When a tripādanakṣatra is conjoined with a bhadrā tithi i.e. dvitīyā, saptamī or dvādaśī, and this falls on a Tuesday, Sunday or Saturday, it is known as a tripuṣkara-yōgaḥ. When only two of these coincide, it is known as dvipuṣkara. These are specially auspicious times, and are excluded for aparakarmas such as ūnamāsikaśrāddham.

त्रिपादर्क्षं तिथिर्भद्रा भौमार्कशनिवासरे।
तदा त्रिपुष्करो योगो द्वयोर्योगे द्विपुष्करः॥
—ज्योतिषे
यदा भद्रतिथीनां स्यात् पापवारेण संयुतिः।
