Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Sat 4 Oct or Sun 5 Oct in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Papankusha Ekadashi is on Sat 4 Oct: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 5 Oct.

Dashami until 05:54, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:54 to 03:02 Sun.

Ekadashi ended at 03:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:54 Sat to 03:02.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 4 Oct only, at 06:59: Sat 4 Oct.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 4 Oct Dashami lasts until 05:54, inside arunodaya (05:23–06:59), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:02, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 5 Oct: Sun 5 Oct.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sun 5 Oct, 08:16–18:36 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:02 on Sun 5 Oct to 23:57 on Sun 5 Oct; harivasara ends at 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:36: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19.

Vaishnava · Mon 6 Oct, 07:01–18:34 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:57 Sun on Mon 6 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (05:25): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:01, to sunset, 18:34, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi

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

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
