Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 17 Oct 2002

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:36 on Wed 16 Oct and 05:36 on Thu 17 Oct. Ekadashi (03:53 Wed 16 Oct to 05:44 Thu 17 Oct) and Dwadashi (05:44 Thu 17 Oct to 07:55 Fri 18 Oct) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Thu 17 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.

Papankusha Ekadashi: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Dashami ended at 03:53 Wed, before it. Ekadashi ends at 05:44, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 6 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ekadashi began at 03:53 Wed, before sunrise at 05:36 Wed, and ends at 05:44, after the next sunrise at 05:36. Both days read Ekadashi: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 16 Oct ran from sunset 17:29 Wed to sunrise 05:36, 12 h 7 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:29, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:29 to 05:36 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 310°. It leaves at 22:48, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 179.5° + 311.4° = 490.9°, one full turn and 130.9°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 10:10, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 16:46 Wed, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 05:44.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 5 Nov, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 6 Oct, with the Sun in Kanya, began Ashwina. This Shukla paksha reads Ashwina in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 2002, 03:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 180.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
