Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyVaiṣṇavītithi (वैष्णवीतिथि) refers to the twelfth tithi, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—The Śravaṇadvādaśī-vrata is described in the Saurapurāṇa (15.3ff) by the Sun-god to Yājñavalkya. The twelfth tithi is very dear to Viṣṇu. It is called vaiṣṇavī-tithi. If the twelfth tithi of Śuklapakṣa is united with Śravaṇa-nakṣatra it is called vijayā-dvādaśī.
