Tithi-vicara
Determination of Tithi for Fasts, Parana, and Pitri Rites
रविचन्द्रार्कजाहं तु तदोपोष्यं परं दिनम् । बह्वा गमविरोधेषु ब्राह्मणेषु विवादिषु ॥ २९ ॥
ravicandrārkajāhaṃ tu tadopoṣyaṃ paraṃ dinam | bahvā gamavirodheṣu brāhmaṇeṣu vivādiṣu || 29 ||

It emphasizes dharma through correct observance of vrata: when calendrical or scriptural disagreements arise, one should follow a harmonizing rule (fasting on the next day) to preserve the sanctity of the vow and avoid ritual fault.
By prioritizing proper vrata timing even amid disputes, the verse supports steady devotional discipline—showing that bhakti is strengthened through careful, sincere observance rather than argument.
It reflects Jyotiṣa/Vedāṅga-style tithi and weekday considerations (ritual timing), and practical dharma-nirṇaya for resolving āgama-based disagreements about when a fast should be kept.
