Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Wed 16 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Wed 16 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:23 to 03:14 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:14; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:23 Wed to 03:14.
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 Wed 16 Oct only, at 06:23: Wed 16 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:23, before it (04:47–06:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Oct, 09:47–18:05 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:14 on Thu 17 Oct to 05:25 on Fri 18 Oct; harivasara ends at 09:47. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:05: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
