The page opens on the current hour and works everything out on this device. It gives the ten values a sankalpam names at the instant you choose — the samvatsara of the sixty-year cycle, the ayana, the ritu, the lunar month with its paksha, the tithi, the weekday counted from sunrise, the nakshatra with its pada, the yoga and the karana — each in Devanagari and IAST as it is recited and in your own script as it is read, together with the line to read aloud, what the morning panchangam printed at sunrise where that differs, and where the traditions disagree about a value.
