Why is Aja Ekadashi on Sat 9 Sep or Sun 10 Sep in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Aja Ekadashi is on Sat 9 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 10 Sep.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:25. Ekadashi: 07:25 to 04:40 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:40; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:25 Sat to 04:40.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:25 on Sat 9 Sep, after that sunrise (05:33), and ends at 04:40 on Sun 10 Sep, before the next (05:34 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 9 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 9 Sep arunodaya (03:57–05:33) is Dashami. On Sun 10 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:40, then Dwadashi): Sun 10 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 10 Sep, 09:51–18:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:40 on Sun 10 Sep to 01:26 on Mon 11 Sep; harivasara ends at 09:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:07, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 11 Sep, 05:35–18:17 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:26 on Mon 11 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (03:59): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:35, to sunset, 18:17, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
