How the day is decided
The Smārta householders' day by the Ekādaśī-nirṇaya: daśamī at sunrise (Smārta) or in the aruṇodaya (Vaiṣṇava), and whether the ekādaśī and dvādaśī run past the next sunrise; Smārtas by Mādhava, the present practice. The Vaiṣṇava day and the pāraṇā are on the Ekādaśī calendar.
Source: Dharmasindhu, Ekādaśī-nirṇaya (OCR 1480-1700). Computed on the Sūrya Siddhānta's sunrise, tithi and Moon at Ujjayinī (a city's page uses that city's sunrise).
