Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 9 Jul or Fri 10 Jul in Olean?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 9 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 10 Jul.
Dashami until 04:12, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:12 to 03:10 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 03:10; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:12 Thu to 03:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 9 Jul only, at 04:45: Thu 9 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 9 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:12, inside arunodaya (03:09–04:45), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:10, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 10 Jul: Fri 10 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 10 Jul, 08:44–19:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:10 on Fri 10 Jul to 01:25 on Sat 11 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:44. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:47, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 11 Jul, 04:47–19:50 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:25 on Sat 11 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:11): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:47, to sunset, 19:50, 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).
