Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Wed 4 Oct in Sevan?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Wed 4 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:23 to 23:37.
Ekadashi ended at 23:37 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 4 Oct only, at 06:58: Wed 4 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:23, before it (05:22–06:58).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Oct, 06:59–18:36 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:37 on Wed 4 Oct to 22:06 on Thu 5 Oct; harivasara ends at 05:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Oct, 06:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:36: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19.
