Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Thu 25 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Thu 25 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:22 Wed to 19:38.
Ekadashi ended at 19:38 Thu; 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 Thu 25 Oct only, at 06:26: Thu 25 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:22 Wed, before it (04:50–06:26).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 26 Oct, 06:27–17:58 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:38 on Thu 25 Oct to 20:24 on Fri 26 Oct; harivasara ends at 01:50. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 26 Oct, 06:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:58: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
