The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 12°–24° is the 2nd, Shukla Dwitiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:36 here. Pratipada ended at 03:29 Thu, before it. Dwitiya ends at 05:15, when the lead reaches 24°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 8 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 03:29 Thu, before sunrise at 04:34 Thu, and ends at 05:15, after the next sunrise at 04:36. Both days read Dwitiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 9 Aug ran from sunset 19:14 Thu to sunrise 04:36, 9 h 22 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:36 to 19:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 19:12 to 04:37 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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 Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 136°40′. It leaves at 22:43, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 113.7° + 137.4° = 251.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 240°00′–253°20′ is the 19th, Parigha. It ends at 08:37, then Shiva.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Dwitiya is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 16:24 Thu, when the lead reached 18°; Kaulava runs until 05:15.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:36 to 04:37 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 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Sep, 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 8 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 11 Apr 2040, 15:00 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 115.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2097; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1962.
