Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 7 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 7 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:33 to 02:06 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:06; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:33 Sun to 02:06.
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 Sun 7 Jul only, at 05:56: Sun 7 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:33, before it (04:20–05:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 8 Jul, 08:06–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:06 on Mon 8 Jul to 02:04 on Tue 9 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
