Narration of the Greatness of Harivāsara
Ekādaśī, the Day Sacred to Hari
तत्रोपोष्या द्वादशी स्यात्त्रयोदश्यां तु पारणम् । दशमीशेषसंयुक्तो यदि स्यादरुणोदयः
tatropoṣyā dvādaśī syāttrayodaśyāṃ tu pāraṇam | daśamīśeṣasaṃyukto yadi syādaruṇodayaḥ
В таком случае пост следует соблюдать в Двадаши (12-й титхи), а прерывание поста (парана) совершать в Трайодаши (13-й). Так бывает, когда аруṇодая (предрассветье) соединена с остатком Дашами (10-го титхи).
Unspecified (contextual narrator/instructor on vrata timing)
Primary Rasa: shanta
Sandhi Resolution Notes: तत्रोपोष्या = तत्र + उपोष्या; स्यात्त्रयोदश्याम् = स्यात् + त्रयोदश्याम्; दशमीशेषसंयुक्तः = दशमी-शेष-संयुक्तः (समास); स्यादरुणोदयः = स्यात् + अरुणोदयः.
If the pre-dawn period (aruṇodaya) falls while the Daśamī tithi still remains, then the fast is assigned to Dvādaśī and the pāraṇa is done on Trayodaśī.
Aruṇodaya refers to the pre-sunrise dawn period used in traditional calendrical decisions; the verse treats its tithi-connection as decisive for scheduling the observance.
It emphasizes disciplined adherence to proper timing in religious observances—performing vows according to dharmic rules rather than convenience.
