Why is Apara Ekadashi on Thu 24 May or Fri 25 May in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Thu 24 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 25 May.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:47. Ekadashi: 07:47 to 05:11 Fri.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:11; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:47 Thu to 05:11.

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 07:47 on Thu 24 May, after that sunrise (05:42), and ends at 05:11 on Fri 25 May, before the next (05:42 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 24 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 24 May arunodaya (04:06–05:42) is Dashami. On Fri 25 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:11, then Dwadashi): Fri 25 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 25 May, 10:33–18:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:11 on Fri 25 May to 02:37 on Sat 26 May; harivasara ends at 10:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:20, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 26 May, 05:42–18:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:37 on Sat 26 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:06): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:42, to sunset, 18:51, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Vaishakha 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).
