Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 9 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Fri 9 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:48 to 03:23 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:23; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:48 Fri to 03:23.
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 Fri 9 Oct only, at 06:21: Fri 9 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:48, before it (04:45–06:21).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 10 Oct, 09:04–18:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:23 on Sat 10 Oct to 02:07 on Sun 11 Oct; harivasara ends at 09:04. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
