अलबोय-युद्धम् #३५४

Event occured on 1669-08-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Mogol forces under rAma siMha (son of jayasiMha) of Amber defeat Ahom forces under Lachit Borphukan in a forced challenge. 10k Ahom soldiers were killed. This would be reversed a few years later in the Battle of Saraighat, two years later, in 1671 CE.

Background: A few years after shivAjI’s escape, rAmasiMha was sent by Awrangzeb to capture assam. His efforts at psychological warfare and dissent bore fruit when King Chakradhwaja Singha gave Lachit Borphukan and his commanders an ultimatum to attack mogols the very next day. Lachit was bewildered - charging the superior Rajput cavalry would be suicidal and that a naval engagement with the Mughals would be more feasible.

Lachit Borphukan had accepted rAmasiMha’s challenge and prepared a force of 40,000 men under four commanders. However, he led Ram Singh to believe that the Ahom army was only 20,000-strong. So the Rajput king sent only 10,000 soldiers under the command of Mir Nawab and madanavatI. Madanavati’s carnage on horseback only ended after she was shot dead by a stray bullet. Lachit’s hidden reserves then turned the tide. rAmasiMha became angry and then sent in the entire Rajput cavalry along with Mughal veterans who had been standing by.

भारते स्वातन्त्र्य-दिनोत्सवः #७६

Event occured on 1947-08-15 (gregorian).

On this day, British finally quit India after splitting it into two (owing to bloody Muslim League strikes, and it’s own geopolitical interests) inimical parts - resulting in many decades of Anglicized Indian rule (which was nonetheless better than British times), rapid fall in infant mortality and sharp rise in life expectancy.

सर्व-अधिक-श्रावण (कर्कट) अमावास्या (अलभ्यम्–पुष्यः, पुष्कला)

amāvāsyā of adhika śravaṇa month, which also falls in the sidereal solar month of kaṭaka.

Details

It is said in Vishnupuranam that when Amavasya overlaps with one of nine nakshatras—Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati, Pushya, Ardra, Punarvasu, Shravishtha, Purvaproshthapada, or Shatabhishak—it is sacred even for Devas. For instance, Shraaddha done on an Amavasya joined with Anuradha, Vishakha, Swati keeps the pitrs satisfied for eight years. Likewise, on Pushya, Ardra and Punarvasu, the pitrs satisfied for twelve years.

अमावास्या यदा मैत्रविशाखास्वातियोगिनी।
श्राद्धे पितृगणस्तृप्तिमवाप्नोत्यष्टवार्षिकीम्॥
अमावास्या यदा पुष्ये रौद्रेऽथः पुनर्वसौ।
द्वादशाब्दं तदा तृप्तिं प्रयान्ति पितरोऽर्चिताः॥
वासवाजैकपादृक्षे पितॄणां तृप्तिमिच्छताम्।
वारुणे चाप्यमावास्या देवानामपि दुर्लभा।
नवस्वृक्षेष्वमावास्या यदैतेष्ववनीपते॥

Details

It is said in the Smrtis, that if Amavasya falls on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, such a tithi is given the appellation puṣkalā and is as sacred as a solar eclipse.

अमा सोमेन भौमेन गुरुणा वा युता यदि।
सा तिथिः पुष्कला नाम सूर्यग्रहणसन्निभा॥
