Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 18 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 18 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 15:54.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:54 Tue to 17:36.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 18 Jul only, at 06:00: Wed 18 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:54 Tue, before it (04:24–06:00).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 19 Jul, 06:00–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:36 on Wed 18 Jul to 19:43 on Thu 19 Jul; harivasara ends at 00:08. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 19 Jul, 06:00. 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.
The rule
