Dandam Dashagunam bhavet...
Generally we come across this ancient maxim to indicate that when all the methods of mending a person/bringing things under control are exhausted like #Saama-#Daana-#Bheda; as a last resort #Dandam is invoked. +
Complete version that I have come across is as follows...

"Vishwamitrecha vardhakye ratraou apsu kardame
andhe sarpecha kridecha #dandam #dashagunam #bhavet"

Interpretation gives an indication of how a wise can effectively use #Dandam (stick) in ten different ways...+
The word #VishwaAmitra is split as,

vi + shwa + amitra indicating

vihaga (bird); shwana (dog); amitra (enemy).

Dhanda (stick) can be used to keep away the birds and dogs;

used against attackers (enemies).

"vardhakya" means old age;

"ratraou" means in darkness or in night;+
#Dandam has several meanings and interpretations;

it is also used in religious/spiritual parlance;

dhanurdharo dhanurvedo #dAndo damayitaa damah
aparaajitah sarvasaho niyantaa niyamo yamah.

(Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stothram - Sloka # 92)+
In supreme sense #DANDA is one of the names & attributes of the Supreme God #Vishnu who is DandaH the one who punishes the wicked.🙏🙏🙏

श्री नृसिंह पुराणद वचनदंतॆ...

शंखुकर्णाख्य देवस्तु ब्रह्म शापाश्च भूतले।
प्रह्लाद इति विख्यातो भूभार क्षपणे रतः ॥
स एव राघवेंद्राख्य यति रूपेण सर्वदा ।
कलौयुगे रामसेवां कुर्वन् मंत्रालये भवेत् ॥
ಶ್ರೀ ನೃಸಿಂಹ ಪುರಾಣದ ವಚನದಂತೆ...

ಶಂಖುಕರ್ಣಾಖ್ಯ ದೇವಸ್ತು ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ಶಾಪಾಶ್ಚ ಭೋತಲೇ ।
ಪ್ರಹ್ಲಾದ ಇತಿ ವಿಖ್ಯಾತೋ ಭೂಭಾರ ಕ್ಷಪಣೇ ರತಃ ।।
ಸ ಏವ ರಾಘವೇಂದ್ರಾಖ್ಯ ಯತಿ ರೂಪೇಣ ಸರ್ವದಾ ।
ಕಲೌಯುಗೇ ರಾಮಸೇವಾಂ ಕುರ್ವನ್ ಮಂತ್ರಾಲಯೇ ಭವೇತ್ ।।

As per SuryaSiddhanta (J-Hora) MakaraSankramana (Transit of Sun-Makara Rasi) is taking place on 15th Jan. 23 @ 02.27 hrs. According 2 DharmaShastra 40 Ghatis (16 hrs) from D time of transit is considered Uttarayana ParvaKala ie. upto 18.27 hrs (precisely till Sunset) on 15th Jan+
Since transit is taking place after Sunset on 14th, DharmaAcharana cannot be made on 14th, hence it should be, from start of Sunrise on 15th.

If transit occurs after Sunset; 5 Ghatis’ (2 hrs) duration on the next day (15th) after Sunrise is considered Atyanta ParvaPunyaKaala. +
