Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Tue 15 Feb 1983

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:58 here. Dwitiya ended at 05:12, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:28 Wed, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Mon 14 Feb ran from sunset 17:07 Mon to sunrise 06:58, 13 h 51 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 55 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:58 to 17:09, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 16 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:09 to 06:57 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 43 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′. Purva Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 18:52, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 302.4° + 327.2° = 629.6°, one full turn and 269.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 01:39 Wed, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 17:53, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 06:28 Wed.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:58 to 06:57 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 13 Feb 01:31 Sun to 14 Mar 18:43 Mon the Sun stayed in Kumbha, entering Meena at 14 Mar 19:44 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Phalguna, before Phalguna itself.

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 13 Feb, with the Sun in Kumbha, began Phalguna (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Phalguna (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 25 Mar 1982, 11:17 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 321.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2039; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1904.
