Source: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriPaḍivayacaṃda (पडिवयचंद) (Prakrit; in Sanskrit: Pratipaccandra) refers to the “moon on the first day”, as occurring in the Anekāntajayapatākā-prakaraṇa, a Śvetāmbara Jain philosophical work written by Haribhadra Sūri.—[Cf. Vol. II, P. 110, l. 5]—‘Pratipaccandra’ means the moon on the first day, the new moon particularly revered and saluted by some people. This phrase occurs in Raghuvaṃśa (VIII, 65) [Cf. Mallinātha explanation]. [...] This phrase is met with in the state-seal of Śivāji. The pertinent portion of the seal is as under—[...]. The Pāiya (Prakrit) and Gujarati equivalents of ‘pratipad’ are ‘paḍivaya’ and ‘paḍavo’ respectively, and each of them means the first day of either of the fortnights bright or dark-half. But ‘pratipaccandra’ should be taken as the moon of the second day of the bright-half of the moon, for, the moon Cannot be seen on the first day with naked eye, and if it is seen on that day, then that day is really the second and not the first, and people regard it also so.
