Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 19 Jul or Sat 20 Jul in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 20 Jul.

Dashami until 04:34, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:34 to 05:27 Sat.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:27; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:34 Fri to 05:27.

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 holds sunrise on Fri 19 Jul only, at 06:00: Fri 19 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 19 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:34, inside arunodaya (04:24–06:00), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:27, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 20 Jul: Sat 20 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 20 Jul, 11:30–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:27 on Sat 20 Jul to 05:38 on Sun 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 21 Jul, 04:25–05:38 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 05:38 on Sun 21 Jul, after arunodaya begins (04:25) and before sunrise (06:01). 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

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).
