Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Sat 20 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Sat 20 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:57 Fri to 20:01.
Ekadashi ended at 20:01 Sat; 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 Sat 20 Oct only, at 06:24: Sat 20 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:57 Fri, before it (04:48–06:24).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 21 Oct, 06:25–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:01 on Sat 20 Oct to 21:31 on Sun 21 Oct; harivasara ends at 02:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 21 Oct, 06:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
