Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Sat 27 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Sat 27 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:32 to 04:59 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:59; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:32 Sat to 04:59.
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 27 Oct only, at 06:27: Sat 27 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:32, before it (04:51–06:27).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 28 Oct, 11:31–17:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:59 on Sun 28 Oct to 07:09 on Mon 29 Oct; harivasara ends at 11:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
