Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
We continue studying sukhar and aazhvaar together on the week / period of 'krishNa jayanthi'. Is it krishNa jayanthi? No sirs, it is 'sree jayanthi'. That is the name given for 'krishNa jayanthi'.
Coming back to that 'ajana janma rksham' of post 6
1. Meaning of 'ajana' as per Monier Williams Sanskrit English dictionary is – the instigator, Brahma, destitute of men, desert, an insignificant person.
2. Janma is birth
3. Rksha – is a bear, a species of ape, star, a constellation, lunar mansion, a particular star under which a person happens to be born.
So 'ajana janma rksha' means – brahma whose birth star is rOhini. Actually we are not interested in birth of brahma or in fact about 'vasudhEva or aanaka dhundhubi' but we are interested in ' KRISHNA or vaasudhEva' jananam.
On that 'aththaththin paththaanaaL' - uththamoor swamy interprets – do counting in the reverse order from 'hastham' – which is 'rOhiNi' – annaaLil thOnRiya achchuthan – krishNan – this is what anbil swamy pointed out.
But my point is - where is the slokam saying, it is that 'aavaNi or bhaadhra or simha or sraavaNa maasam' 'ashtami thithi' etc. from sreemadh bhaagavatham?
Perhaps Sree sukhar has left that for sage paraasara to deal and give that reference – his great grand father.
For in slokam 5-1-77 – the 5 th amsam first sargam and slokam 77 of Sree Vishnu PuraaNam SVP, sree paraasara – the author of Vishnu puraaNam - states –
when bhoomi dhEvi appeals to lord, the supreme lord naaraayaNan says to yOgamaayaa - [which we can see in sargam 2 of 10th canto - here - in bhagavatham- naarayaNa giving instructions to yogamaayaa]
praavrushTa kaalE cha nabhasi krishNa ashtamyaam aham ni s i |
uthpathsyaami navamyaam thu prasoothim thvam avaapyasi || 5-1-77
here it is very clear
praavrushta – rainy season or varsha rithu
nabhasi – sraavaNa maasam or bhaadhra maasam – [nabha, nabhas – both are stated as July- August, and /or August- September in Monier Williams dictionary]
krishNa – the paksha - the dark fortnight – [other one is sukla – the white]
ashtami – the 8 th thithi
aham uthpathsyaami – I will spring forth or take birth
It may be that the star is rOhini on that day which is not stated here. So the detail is available in SVP.
Let us continue in next post.
