अप्पूदियडिगळ् नायऩ्मार् (२५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Śatabhiṣak nakshatra of Makaraḥ (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’ (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.

Appudi Nayanmar, the 25th of the Nayanmars, was a devout Shiva worshipper from a Brahmana family in Thingalur, Chola kingdom. He lived the life of an ideal householder and had heard of the glories of Tirunavukkarasar (Appar). Although never meeting him, Appudi worshipped Appar as his Guru, believing Lord Shiva manifested as the Guru to guide seekers. He named everything after Appar – children, water sheds for pilgrims, and even household items — to constantly remember and experience his Guru’s grace.

Appar himself, unaware of Appudi’s devotion, stumbled upon one of the water-sheds named after him during his travels. Curious, he visited Appudi, asking him as to why he named the shed after some person rather than himself. Not recognizing Appar, Appudiyadigal indignant at this question, passionately defended the name’s significance, recounting the the spiritual triumphs and miracles of Thirunavukkarasu Swamigal! Appar, a true and humble bhakta, then revealed his identity, merely recounting himself as a humble soul who sought Shiva’s feet owing to a colic disease, and returned to Shavism, having been cured by the Lord. Overjoyed at this revelation, Appudi invited Appar to have a meal. Tragedy struck when Appudi’s son, sent to fetch a banana leaf for Appar’s meal, died from a snake bite. Determined not to disrupt the service to Appar, Appudi concealed the child’s corpse.

Upon learning of the boy’s demise, Appar, deeply affected, instructed the body be placed in front of the temple. He then sang a hymn, miraculously reviving the boy. The parents, in their unshakeable devotion, regretted only the delay this incident caused in Appar’s meal. Appar blessed the family, stayed with them for a while, and Appudi’s profound devotion to his Guru earned him divine grace.

श्वेताम्बरः श्वेतविभूषणश्च

गजपतिनैकशिला-दुर्ग-ग्रहणम् #५६४

Event occured on 1460-02-11 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Eldest son of Gajpati Kapileshvara - vIra-hamvIra-mahApatra and his nephew vIrabhadra-raghudeva-mahApatra (after likely taking on Khwaja-i-Jahan or Mahmud Gawan), captured the varangal fort. The Bahmani generals fled - and the governor and other soldiers were spared their lives.

Context

Bahmanis had captured this fort from the Nayakas in 14th century. After rescuing the beseiged vellamA chief lingA-reDDi DevarakonDa and routing Bahmani Sultan’s forces there, Hambira and Raghudeva proceeded to Warangal.

raghunAtha’s inscription

The characters of the inscription are Telugu. But the language is Oriya which is, however, considerably influenced by Sanskrit. There are many errors in the language and orthography of the record. The date, quoted in lines 2-5, is Saturday (Briha-vāsara), Mrigaśira-nakshatra, Magha-śu. 10, in the year Pramathin which is mentioned as corresponding to the Kali year 4861 current (i.e. Kali 4560 expired). Saturday, Magha-su. 10, Mrigasiru-nakshatra, in Kali 4561 current, corresponds regularly to the 2nd February, 1460 A.D.

त्रिपुष्कर-योगः

  • 17:38→21:09

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।

वैरागि-मोचन-वार्ता #५६४

Event occured on 1460-02-11 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day, Awrangzeb learned about his officer’s attempt to capture a bairAgI and his idols and its failure thanks to rAjaputra action.

News record

The Emperor learnt from a secret news-writer of Delhi that in Jaisinghpura, Bairagis used to worship idols, and that the Censor on hearing of it had gone there, arrested Sri Krishna Bairagi and taken him with 15 idols away to his house; then the Rajputs had assembled, flocked to the Censor’s house, wounded three footmen of the Censor and tried to seize the Censor himself so that the latter set the Bairagi free and sent the copper idols to the local subahdar.
