( 83 ) When two parbatithis come together, such as, Bhadrapad Shukla Chaturthi-Panchami and ChaturdashiPurnima or Chaturdashi-Amavasya, then if Panchami, Purnima or Amavasya is Kshaya or Briddhi, the Tritiya or Trayodashi should be named and treated as Kshaya or Briddhi because both the consecutive tithis are Parbatithis and there should not be any disturbance or gap in the consecutive and contigious observance of the both the Parbatithis together.
This is the doctrine of the old school and is followed by Acharya Sagaranàndasuri. According to Achäfj, Vijaya Ramchandrasuri and the Arbitrator, in such cases the observance should take place on châturthi alone and not separately on both Chaturthi and Panchami. Similarly in case of Purniña and amavasya, the observance should be Chaturdashi alone. According to them, the meaning of the authority quoted above is that both the observances should be performed in the former tithi. According to Acharya Sagaranandasuri, the former tithi also being a Parbatithi, the tithi immediately preceeding should be treated as Kshaya or Briddhi as the case may be यो तिथिं समनुप्राप्य उदयं याति भास्करः । सा तिथिः सफला ज्ञेयाऽध्ययने तपदानयोः “तिथिश्च प्रातः प्रत्याख्याTegnant or ETSAT FIT ET PATUi etc. and 'STUFFA at fast at 4610मिअरीइ कीरमाणीइ । आणाभंगणवत्था-मिच्छत्तविराहणं पावे'.
According to this and similar Jain authorities, thé títhis whích exist at the time of sunrise should be observed. Hencé according tő ancient praetice and custoha Parbatihis are stated and named although nöt existing at the time of sunrise as there is no harm in it and it serves a good purpose. Acharya Vijaya
Ramachandrasuri considers this to be improper: Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
