Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 13 Aug 1982

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Saptami ended at 07:54 Thu, before it. Ashtami ends at 06:16, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 5 Aug, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Navami began at 06:16 and ended at 04:12 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:37 Sat. Friday reads Ashtami and Saturday reads Dashami: Navami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:48, came after Ashtami ended at 03:46: this day reads Navami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:37, came before Ashtami ended at 06:16: this day reads Ashtami. Navami ends at 04:12 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Navami: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 12 Aug ran from sunset 18:07 Thu to sunrise 05:37, 11 h 30 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 18:06, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:06 to 05:37 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 30°. It leaves at 19:31, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 116.2° + 31.9° = 148.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 00:38 Sat, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 19:08 Thu, when the lead reached 270°; Kaulava runs until 06:16.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:37 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 17 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Aug, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 19 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, begins Bhadrapada. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Bhadrapada here, and Shravana in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 18:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 135.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
