Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 3 Oct in Pāthardi?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Fri 3 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:11 Thu to 18:33.
Ekadashi ended at 18:33 Fri; 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 Fri 3 Oct only, at 06:20: Fri 3 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:11 Thu, before it (04:44–06:20).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 4 Oct, 06:20–17:09
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:33 on Fri 3 Oct to 17:09 on Sat 4 Oct; harivasara ends at 00:12. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 4 Oct, 06:20. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
The rule
