अर्कानिःसृतसश्चन्द्रः प्रत्यूहानि दिने दिने । यदर्कान्तरितो गच्छेद् द्वादशांशैः स वै तिथिः ॥
Translation (Burgess):
The period in which the Moon increases its distance from the Sun by twelve degrees is called a lunar day (Tithi).
Modern Technical Commentary:
Defines the Tithi, the primary element of the Panchanga. It is a relative angular measurement (Moon Longitude - Sun Longitude) rather than a fixed temporal duration, leading to Tithis vary in length between 19 and 26 hours.

A Tithi is defined as the time taken for the longitudinal
distance (Antara) between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12 degrees.
This represents one 'Day' of the lunar month.
