Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 7 Oct in Sevan?
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: 21:13 Thu to 22:34.
Ekadashi ended at 22:34 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). 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 08:01: Fri 7 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:13 Thu, before it (06:25–08:01).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 8 Oct, 08:02–19:31 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:34 on Fri 7 Oct to 00:19 on Sun 9 Oct; harivasara ends at 05:00. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 8 Oct, 08:02. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:31: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:20.
