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
तत्रोपोष्या द्वादशी स्यात् त्रयोदश्यां तु पारणम्। दशमीशेषसंयुक्तो यदि स्यादरुणोदयः॥
Unspecified (contextual narrator/instructor on vrata timing)
Concept: When Daśamī persists into aruṇodaya, Ekādaśī shifts: fast on Dvādaśī and break on Trayodaśī—dharma is protected by correct timing.
Application: Consult a reliable pañcāṅga; if Daśamī touches aruṇodaya, follow the prescribed shift (Dvādaśī upavāsa, Trayodaśī pāraṇa) rather than personal convenience.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: तत्रोपोष्या = तत्र + उपोष्या; स्यात्त्रयोदश्याम् = स्यात् + त्रयोदश्याम्; दशमीशेषसंयुक्तः = दशमी-शेष-संयुक्तः (समास); स्यादरुणोदयः = स्यात् + अरुणोदयः.
FAQs
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.
