Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Wed 21 Oct or Thu 22 Oct in Davinópolis?
Smarta · For Smartas, Papankusha Ekadashi is on Wed 21 Oct: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 22 Oct.
Dashami until 05:42, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:42 to 06:18 Thu.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:42 Wed to 06:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds sunrise on both mornings, 05:46 on Wed 21 Oct and 05:46 on Thu 22 Oct; over two sunrises, Smartas fast on the first, as Dwadashi does not also grow: Wed 21 Oct.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 21 Oct Dashami lasts until 05:42, inside arunodaya (04:10–05:46), so that Ekadashi is pierced. On Thu 22 Oct Ekadashi holds all of arunodaya: Thu 22 Oct.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 22 Oct, 12:15–18:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:18 on Thu 22 Oct to 06:06 on Fri 23 Oct; harivasara ends at 12:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:13, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 23 Oct, 05:46–06:06
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:18 on Thu 22 Oct to 06:06 on Fri 23 Oct; harivasara ends at 12:15 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 23 Oct, 05:46.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
