Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 8 Sep or Thu 9 Sep in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 8 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 9 Sep.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:45. Ekadashi: 06:45 to 04:07 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 04:07; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:45 Wed to 04:07.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:45 on Wed 8 Sep, after that sunrise (06:15), and ends at 04:07 on Thu 9 Sep, before the next (06:15 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 8 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 8 Sep arunodaya (04:39–06:15) is Dashami. On Thu 9 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:07, then Dwadashi): Thu 9 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 9 Sep, 09:26–18:37 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:07 on Thu 9 Sep to 01:25 on Fri 10 Sep; harivasara ends at 09:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:37: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 10 Sep, 06:15–18:36 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:25 on Fri 10 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:39): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:15, to sunset, 18:36, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
