Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 6 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 6 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:58 to 22:06.
Ekadashi ended at 22:06 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sat 6 Jul only, at 05:56: Sat 6 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:58, before it (04:20–05:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 7 Jul, 05:56–18:54
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:06 on Sat 6 Jul to 18:54 on Sun 7 Jul; harivasara ends at 03:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 7 Jul, 05:56. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
