How to interpret that one must fast for Ekadasi on the day which has no association with Dasami? Is it calculated in Nazhigais from sunrise or is it from midnight or Brahmamurtham? There are several differences in the panchangam followed in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, particularly on the day for observing Ekadasai vratam; what are those differences? And why are these differences? Adiyen has heard about Siddhanta and Vakhya panchangam-s; are these differences due to these two versions?

The given day must not be associated with Dasami for 4 Nazhigai-s before sunrise; that is, if on the previous day, Dasami exists for more than 56 Nazhigai-s, Ekadasi vratam is not observed the following day.
These calculations are based on the detailed study of Dharma Shastra, statements from Smruti, etc. and hence these differences are based on the traditions.
