Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Fri 29 Sep in Diffa?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Fri 29 Sep: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:25, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:25 to 07:37 Fri.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:25 Thu to 07:37.
Dwadashi: 07:37 Fri to 10:04, longer than its day: it grows too.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:58 on Thu 28 Sep and 05:58 on Fri 29 Sep. Ekadashi (05:25 Thu 28 Sep to 07:37 Fri 29 Sep) and Dwadashi (07:37 Fri 29 Sep to 10:04 Sat 30 Sep) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Fri 29 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Thu 28 Sep Dashami lasts until 05:25, inside it (04:22–05:58); on Fri 29 Sep Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 30 Sep, 05:58–10:04
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:37 on Fri 29 Sep to 10:04 on Sat 30 Sep; harivasara ends at 14:14 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 30 Sep, 05:58.
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).
