अनध्यायः

Observed on Paurṇamāsī tithi of every (lunar) month (Sāṅgavaḥ/paraviddha).

Anadhyayana on account of pūrṇimā. Several tithis in a month are nitya-anadhyayana days, including prathamā, aṣṭamī, chaturdaśī, amāvāsyā and pūrṇimā. Manu has said that performing adhyayana on these days destroys the Guru (Amavasya), Shishya (Chaturdashi) and the vīrya of the brahma (vēda) itself (Ashtami/Purnima). Similarly, Jabali Rishi has said that Adhyayana on prathama hurts the buddhi while adhyayana on chaturdaśī hurts the brahma (vēda) itself!

हारीतः—
प्रतिपत्सु चतुर्दश्यामष्टम्यां पर्वणोर्द्वयोः।
श्वोऽनध्यायेऽद्य शर्वर्यां नाधीयीत कदाचन॥
मनुः—
अमावास्या गुरुं हन्ति शिष्यं हन्ति चतुर्दशी।
ब्रह्माष्टकापौर्णमास्यस्तस्मात्ताः परिवर्जयेदिति॥

इचैञाऩियार् नायऩ्मार् (६३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Citrā nakshatra of Mēṣaḥ (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.

In the region of Tirunavalur in Tirumuraipadi, there lived a devout Adi Shaiva named Sadayanar, whose lineage was known for its deep devotion to Lord Shiva. Sadayanar, embodying the same piety and dedication, was married to Isaijnaniyar, a woman equally devoted to the Lord. Their virtuous past actions blessed them with a divine child, who was none other than Sundaramurthi Nayanmar.

The child’s striking beauty caught the attention of Narasinga Munaiyar, the local king, who expressed a desire to raise the child himself. Demonstrating their detachment from worldly attachments, Sadayanar and Isaijnaniyar willingly entrusted their child to the king without hesitation. This couple exemplified the ideal life of householders, focusing on spiritual devotion and ultimately earning the grace of the Divine.

कुमारसिंहो जगदीशपुरं जयति #१६६

Event occured on 1858-04-23 (gregorian).

Kunwar Singh, aged 80 and one-handed (having cut off and offered his wounded hand to gangA devI in an earlier battle a few days earlier), utterly routed Captain le Grand’s forces (with 2 howitzers) with his little army of about two thousand men - dispirited and badly armed. Le Grand used his guns and an infantry charge into the jungle to no avail. On 22 and 23 April, being injured he fought bravely against the British Army and with the help of his army drove away the British Army, brought down the Union Jack from Jagdispur Fort and hoisted his flag.

On 26 April 1858 he died in his village. The mantle of the old chief now fell on his brother Amar Singh II who, despite heavy odds, continued the struggle and for a considerable time, running a parallel government in the district of Shahabad. In October 1859, Amar Singh II joined the rebel leaders in the Nepal Terai.

तुघ्रलखान-पलायनम् #७८०

Event occured on 1244-04-23 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Small commando units (one of them 100 infantry and 50 cavalry) of Odisha’s Eastern Ganga Dynasty king Gajapati Narasimhadeva-I, pounced on a big Mamluk force under Tughril Khan (fooled into complacency by a faux retreat) near Katasin/Contai fort (near South Bengal). The Gajapati’s army then chased them all the way out of South Bengal (all the way beyond lakhnor fort, 70 miles away).

Context

Narasimhadeva had laid a siege on Lakhanuti(Bengal) for the first time in Nov 1243. This shocked the Mamluk Governor Tughril Tughan Khan, who had to gather his forces and gave the clarion of Islamic jihAd against the Gajapati. The Ganga army hd to retreat till Katasin(Contai) of South West Bengal. The Mamluk army was overjoyed as they had apparently forced the Eastern Ganga army to withdraw, and camped near the Katasin fort. They weren’t aware that it was a fake retreat. The Mamluks weren’t alert and were infact quite excited on seeing the war elephants left behind for free.
