Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Sun 9 Mar or Mon 10 Mar in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Amalaki Ekadashi is on Sun 9 Mar: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 10 Mar.
Dashami until 06:15, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:15 to 06:15 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:15; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:15 Sun to 06:15.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 9 Mar only, at 07:21: Sun 9 Mar.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 9 Mar Dashami lasts until 06:15, inside arunodaya (05:45–07:21), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 06:15, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 10 Mar: Mon 10 Mar.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 10 Mar, 12:22–19:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:15 on Mon 10 Mar to 06:44 on Tue 11 Mar; harivasara ends at 12:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:40, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 11 Mar, 05:42–06:44 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 06:44 on Tue 11 Mar, after arunodaya begins (05:42) and before sunrise (07:18). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
