Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 23 Oct or Sat 24 Oct in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Papankusha Ekadashi is on Fri 23 Oct: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 24 Oct.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:21. Ekadashi: 08:21 to 05:42 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 05:42; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:21 Fri to 05:42.

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 begins at 08:21 on Fri 23 Oct, after that sunrise (07:19), and ends at 05:42 on Sat 24 Oct, before the next (07:20 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 23 Oct.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 23 Oct arunodaya (05:43–07:19) is Dashami. On Sat 24 Oct it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:42, then Dwadashi): Sat 24 Oct.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 24 Oct, 10:56–18:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:42 on Sat 24 Oct to 02:38 on Sun 25 Oct; harivasara ends at 10:56. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 25 Oct, 07:21–18:06 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:38 on Sun 25 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (05:45): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:21, to sunset, 18:06, 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).
