Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 7 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Fri 7 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:43 Thu to 23:04.
Ekadashi ended at 23:04 Fri; 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 Fri 7 Oct only, at 06:21: Fri 7 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:43 Thu, before it (04:45–06:21).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 8 Oct, 06:21–18:12 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:04 on Fri 7 Oct to 00:49 on Sun 9 Oct; harivasara ends at 05:30. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 8 Oct, 06:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:12: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
