Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 12 Jul or Thu 13 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 12 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 13 Jul.
Dashami until 05:26, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:26 to 03:13 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:13; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:26 Wed to 03:13.
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 12 Jul only, at 05:49: Wed 12 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 12 Jul Dashami lasts until 05:26, inside arunodaya (04:13–05:49), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:13, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 13 Jul: Thu 13 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 13 Jul, 08:42–19:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:13 on Thu 13 Jul to 01:10 on Fri 14 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:42. 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 08:28, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 14 Jul, 05:49–19:01 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:10 on Fri 14 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:13): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:49, to sunset, 19:01, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
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).
