Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Sat 23 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Sat 23 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:30 Fri to 23:16.
Ekadashi ended at 23:16 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 23 Oct only, at 06:25: Sat 23 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:30 Fri, before it (04:49–06:25).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Oct, 06:26–18:00 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:16 on Sat 23 Oct to 23:19 on Sun 24 Oct; harivasara ends at 05:17. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 24 Oct, 06:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:00: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
The rule
