आम्र-कुसुम-प्राशनम्

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Prathamā tithi of Phālgunaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Details

अनध्यायः

Observed on Kr̥ṣṇa-Prathamā tithi of every (lunar) month (Sāṅgavaḥ/paraviddha).

Anadhyayana on account of prathamā. 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! Interestingly, Lord Hanuman also remarks while describing the condition of Sita Devi to the rest of the vanaras and Rkshas that she was frail by nature, had further grown emaciated, owing to separation from her beloved Shri Rama, much like the vidyā of a scholar continuing his studies on a pratipat!

हारीतः—
प्रतिपत्सु चतुर्दश्यामष्टम्यां पर्वणोर्द्वयोः।
श्वोऽनध्यायेऽद्य शर्वर्यां नाधीयीत कदाचन॥
मनुः—
अमावास्या गुरुं हन्ति शिष्यं हन्ति चतुर्दशी।
ब्रह्माष्टकापौर्णमास्यस्तस्मात्ताः परिवर्जयेत्॥
जाबालिः—
नाधीयीत नरो नित्यमादावन्ते च पक्षयोः।
आदौ च हीयते बुद्धिरन्ते च ब्रह्म हीयते॥
पक्षादिः प्रतिपत्, पक्षान्तः चतुर्दशी॥
तथा रामायणे हनुमद्वचनम्—
सा प्रकृत्यैव तन्वङ्गी तद्वियोगाच्च कर्शिता।
प्रतिपत्पाठशीलस्य विद्येव तनुतां गता॥५-५९-३१॥

अनध्यायः

One should not perform adhyayana for three days, commencing from the pūrṇimā of the three months, āṣāḍha, kārtika and phālguna.

द्विपुष्कर-योगः

  • 14:56→06:22

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. The dvipuṣkara occurs when the bhadrā tithis coincide with the same days as above, but with the dvipāda nakṣatras, which are mr̥gaśīrṣa, chitrā and dhaniṣṭhā. Like the tripuṣkara which gives a three-fold multiplier for śubha and aśubha, the dvipuṣkara has a two-fold effect.

त्रिपुष्कराख्योऽदितिवह्निविश्वद्वीशाजपादर्यमभेषु योगः।
भद्राख्यतिथ्योऽर्ककुजार्कजाश्चेच्छुभाशुभेषु त्रिगुणः प्रदिष्टः॥२६॥
द्विपुष्करो द्विगुणदचित्राचान्द्रवसुष्वपि।
त एव तिथिवाराश्चेद् गुरुर्वा कैश्चिदुच्यते॥२७॥

होल्कर-मल्हर-जन्म #३३१

Event occured on 1693-03-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

On this day was born the great general Malhar Rao Holkar, who served under peshva-s ranging from bAjI rAv to mAdhav rAv.

Details

खन्व-युद्धम् #४९७

Event occured on 1527-03-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

The mogol king bAbUr defeated rAjaputras under rANA sangrAmasiMha of mevAr.

Battle

Rana concluded there was no choice but pitched battle. The Mughal army numbered around 25k, and Mewar army somewhere between 10-20k. Don’t go by the claimed 2 lakh, its nonsense. The Mughal artillery was concentrated in the center. Mewaris attacked both wings with more troops, staying away from the Mughal trump card- the artillery. However, both Mughals managed to hold.

Babur tried a risky move- ordered his idle center to attack w.o safety of carts. This worked, as the Mewar army’s center was depleted and most sent to the wings. This was risky, as a failure wouldve meant total rout for the Mughals. Despite pushing back mewar center, the line held. Rana was shot by a bullet and fell unconscious, causing great confusion in the Rajput army. The replacement was a poor commander.

This wasn’t bad generalship, nor purely a technological edge.

Aftermath

Rana Sanga managed to evade capture and escape to Chittor, where he was poisoned to death by 30 January 1528.

Background

Rajput ruler of Mewar, Rana Sanga, sent an ambassador to Babur at Kabul, offering to join in Babur’s attack on the Sultan. Sanga offered to attack Agra, while Babur would attack the Lodhis at Delhi. But he changed his mind after realizing that bAbur, unlike taimUr, intended to stay in India. Rana Sanga had built a formidable military alliance against Babur. He was joined by virtually all the leading Rajput kings from Rajasthan. Some Lodi afghAns also joined.

Babur denounced the Afghans who joined the alliance against him as kafirs and murtads (apostates from Islam). Babur proceeded to renounce future consumption of wine, broke his drinking cups, poured out all the stores of liquor on the ground and promulgated a pledge of total abstinence. bAbur wrote: “It was a really good plan, and it had a favourable propagandistic effect on friend and foe.”

सत्नामि-हत्या #३५२

Event occured on 1672-03-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.

Though their revolt seems to have been sparked off by a relatively insignificant incident, Aurangzeb’s persecution of the Hindus was certainly the underlying cause which turned it into a religious uprising. The soldier hit the cultivator with a stick which broke his head, whereupon a body of Satnamis beat the assailant to death. When the news reached the local government administrator, he sent a party of footmen to arrest those men. By then a large number of Satnamis had gathered at the scene. They attacked the footmen, put them to flight and seized their arms. The number of rebels was increasing by the hour. The faujdar of Narnol sent a large body of horsemen and foot soldiers to punish the rebels. But they too were routed by the Satnamis. The movement now spread like wild fire and the number of rebels rose to some five thousand. The Satnamis defeated the faujdar of Narnol, captured the town, demolished a number of mosques and tombs and established their own administration. A belief spread among them that they were immortal and that if one of them was slain, seventy others would spring up in his place! At last, on 16th March 1672, Aurangzeb sent a force of 10,000 horsemen, supported by artillery, under command of Rad-andaz Khan to crush the revolt.
