Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 22 Jul or Fri 23 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 22 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 23 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:42. Ekadashi: 08:42 to 05:45 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:45; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:42 Thu to 05:45.
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 begins at 08:42 on Thu 22 Jul, after that sunrise (06:01), and ends at 05:45 on Fri 23 Jul, before the next (06:01 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 22 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 22 Jul arunodaya (04:25–06:01) is Dashami. On Fri 23 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:45, then Dwadashi): Fri 23 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 23 Jul, 10:59–19:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:45 on Fri 23 Jul to 02:39 on Sat 24 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 24 Jul, 06:02–19:08 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:39 on Sat 24 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:26): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:02, to sunset, 19:08, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
