Why is Aja Ekadashi on Wed 13 Aug in Pāthardi?

Aja Ekadashi is on Wed 13 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:30 Tue to 00:59 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 00:59; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 13 Aug only, at 06:09: Wed 13 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:30 Tue, before it (04:33–06:09).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 14 Aug, 07:37–18:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:59 on Thu 14 Aug to 03:30 on Fri 15 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:37. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.

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).
