Right answer: late waning phase Moon indicates a Moonrise late at night.
What’s not the least surprising to me is the 37% who answered “Full Moon/near Full Moon”
I am afraid these may be fans of 5561BCE.
Please look out at the sky next time and check the waning phase Moonrise!

Folks who doubt this answer can check Moonrise calculation.
The Moon rises later by 48 mins every day from Amavasya to Purnima when counted from Sunrise.
Thus waxing phase Moon rises in the day, Purnima Moon rises in the evening, late waning phase Moon rises late at night!
The Moon rises later by 48 mins every day from Amavasya to Purnima when counted from Sunrise.
Thus waxing phase Moon rises in the day, Purnima Moon rises in the evening, late waning phase Moon rises late at night!
As an example:
14th day of Shukla Paksha (Shukla Chaturdashi):
Moonrise occurs 14 x 48 = 672 mins from Sunrise! ie. 11 hrs 12 mins later.
Therefore if Sunrise is at 6 am, Moonrise will be at 5:12 pm
QED.
Shukla Paksha: Moonrise in the day only and so Purnima Moonrise at 6pm!
14th day of Shukla Paksha (Shukla Chaturdashi):
Moonrise occurs 14 x 48 = 672 mins from Sunrise! ie. 11 hrs 12 mins later.
Therefore if Sunrise is at 6 am, Moonrise will be at 5:12 pm
QED.
Shukla Paksha: Moonrise in the day only and so Purnima Moonrise at 6pm!
After 6pm (assuming a sunrise of 6am) waning phase Moonrise starts.
Moon will always rise in the East!
Later the waning phase, later the Moonrise!
This means that a very late Moonrise occurring when 3-4/15 parts of the night remain acc to Drona Parva: 161:1-2 = Krishna Ekadashi

This means that a very late Moonrise occurring when 3-4/15 parts of the night remain acc to Drona Parva: 161:1-2 = Krishna Ekadashi
This means that 14th war night must be Krishna Ekadashi or thereabouts!
This means that the 18th war day must be an Amavasya!
This also means that the 1st war day must be a Shukla Trayodashi (S13) or close to it. That 1st war day can never be an Amavasya.
