Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Tue 4 Oct or Wed 5 Oct in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Papankusha Ekadashi is on Tue 4 Oct: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 5 Oct.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:55. Ekadashi: 07:55 to 05:47 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:47; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:55 Tue to 05:47.
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 begins at 07:55 on Tue 4 Oct, after that sunrise (06:20), and ends at 05:47 on Wed 5 Oct, before the next (06:20 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 4 Oct.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 4 Oct arunodaya (04:44–06:20) is Dashami. On Wed 5 Oct it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:47, then Dwadashi): Wed 5 Oct.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 5 Oct, 11:06–18:14 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:47 on Wed 5 Oct to 03:02 on Thu 6 Oct; harivasara ends at 11:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:14: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 6 Oct, 06:21–18:13 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:02 on Thu 6 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (04:45): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:21, to sunset, 18:13, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
