Uttarāyaṇa : nt.: Name of the period in which the sun moves to the north, the summer solstice; also called Udagā¤yana (-ā- m. c.) (6. 114. 98; 12. 224. 16).
A. Sun's courses fixed by Brahman: Śakra told Bali that the self-born god (Svayaṁbhū) had fixed the movements of the sun following which the sun moved towards the north for six months and towards the south for six months 12. 218. 35-36.
B. Its duration: The calculators of the divisions of time say that the year consists of two ayanas (sun's courses), viz. dakṣiṇa and uttara (saṁvatasaraṁ dve ayane vadanti saṁkhyāvido dakṣiṇam uttaram ca) 12. 224. 13; (12. 47. 42); 13. 16. 46; Nārada told Devamata that the two ayanas (dakṣiṇa and uttara) form a pair and between them is fire; Brāhmaṇas knew that that is the highest form of udāna (? ubhe caivāyane dvaṁdvaṁ tayor madhye hutāśanaḥ/etad rūpam udānasya paramaṁ brāhmanā viduḥ) 14. 24. 15; Vyāsa had told Śuka that the night and the day of the gods was equal to one human year of which the uttarāyaṇa formed the day and the dakṣiṇāyana the night (daive rātryahanī varṣam pravibhāgas tayoḥ punaḥ/ahas tatrodagayanaṁ rātriḥ syād dakṣiṇāyanam) 12. 224. 16.
C. Effects on the earth: The sun, during its two courses, northern and southern, distributes cold and heat among the people (ayanaṁ tasya ṣaṇmāsā uttaraṁ dakṣiṇaṁ tathā/ yena saṁyāti lokeṣu śītoṣṇe visṛjan raviḥ//) 12. 218. 36; the sun, having traversed its northern course and having collected with his rays the heated waters, turnes for the southern course and enters the earth; there, lying in the earth and sprinkled with the energies of the moon, it produces plants which serve as food for living beings (gatvottarāyaṇaṁ tejorasān uddhṛtya raśmibhiḥ/dakṣiṇāyanam āvṛtto mahīṁ niviśate raviḥ//… niṣiktaś candratejobhiḥ sūyate bhūgato raviḥ/oṣadhyaḥ ṣaḍrasā medhyās tad annaṁ prāṇināṁ bhuvi//) 3. 3. 6, 8 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 3. 3. 6: tejorasān jalāni).
D. Importance: Mahādeva (13. 16. 13) identified with both the Uttara and the Dakṣiṇa ayana 13. 16. 46.
E. Considered holy: The night in the Uttarāyaṇa is considered holy and divine; Śacī bowed down to this goddess Rātri so that her wish to see her husband was fulfilled (puṇyāṁ cemām ahaṁ divyāṁ pravṛttām uttarāyaṇe/devīṁ rātrim namasyāmi sidhyatāṁ me manorathaḥ//) 5. 13. 23; from Dakṣiṇāyana (which symbolizes darkness) proceeds Uttarāyaṇa (which stands for light); (hence) the gift of light is praiseworthy (andhaṁ tamas tamisraṁ ca dakṣiṇāyanam eva ca/uttarāyaṇam etasmāj jyotirdānaṁ praśasyate//) 13. 101. 46 (perhaps what is meant is that giving gifts of light helps the bringing in of the Uttarāyaṇa. Nī. on Bom. Ed. 13. 98. 47: tamisraṁ andhakāraḥ/andhaṁtamo nāma narakarūpaṁ tathā dakṣiṇāyanam apy andhaṁtama eva/ata uttarāyaṇe rātrau tamonāśakaṁ jyotir deyaṁ narakanivṛttyartham. Editor, Cr. Ed., Vol. 17. (part II), p. 1098 on 13. 101. 46, however,: “Does this suggest the origin of the Dīpāvali festival ?”).
F. Bhīṣma's death in Uttarāyaṇa: Bhīṣma when he fell on the ground in the war did not give up his life as he wished to wait till the setting in of the Uttarāyaṇa 6. 114. 89; he assured the sages, sent to him by Gaṅgā, when they came to him in the form of swans, that he would sustain his life and go to his original place when the sun had turned towards the north 6. 114. 97; he told them that he would sustain his life longing for the Uttarāyaṇa; established in complete sway (over his life), he could control the act of giving up life; he would therefore hold life for some time since he wished to die in the Udagāyana (dhārayiṣyāmy ahaṁ prāṇān uttarāyaṇakāṅkṣayā/aiśvaryabhūtaḥ prāṇānām utsarge niyato hy aham/tasmāt prāṇān dhārayiṣye mumūrṣur udagāyane//) 6. 114. 98 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 6. 119. 106: svasāmarthyena bhūtaḥ prāptaḥ svacchandamṛtyutvāt); Bhīṣma's future death in the Uttarāyaṇa alluded to by Yudhiṣṭhira 12. 291. 4 (āvṛtte bhagavaty arke ganatāsi paramāṁ gatim); Bhīṣma asked Yudhiṣṭhira to come back to him when the sun had returned from the Dakṣiṇāyana and the Uttarāyaṇa had set in 13. 152. 10; when the Uttarāyaṇa set in, Yudhiṣṭhira started from Hāstinapura to meet Bhīṣma (for the remebered what Bhīṣma had told him) 13. 153. 6; Bhīṣma greeted Yudhiṣṭhira and said that the sun had turned back (from the Dakṣināyana) 13. 153. 26; as soon as the sun had returned to its northerly course Bhīṣma, well composed, placed himself in his soul (to he ready to abandon the body) 12. 47. 3; Bhīṣma gave up his life when the Uttarāyaṇa had set in 14. 59. 12.
