Matched in Jyeshtha. Both reckonings name this month alike, so there is nothing to choose between them here. A krishna-paksha day carries two month names — purnimanta runs a month ahead of amanta — so each festival is matched by the reckoning its own name uses. This is shown so you can check it.

A ghati here is a fixed twenty-four minutes — one sixtieth of a mean day, which is what the ladder below defines.

Two conventions, both true, and VEDAUM will not quietly mix them.
