Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 7 Jul or Thu 8 Jul in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 7 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 8 Jul.

Dashami until 05:20, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:20 to 02:59 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 02:59; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:20 Wed to 02:59.

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 Wed 7 Jul only, at 05:56: Wed 7 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 7 Jul Dashami lasts until 05:20, inside arunodaya (04:20–05:56), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:59, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 8 Jul: Thu 8 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 8 Jul, 08:24–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:59 on Thu 8 Jul to 00:38 on Fri 9 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:24. 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.

Vaishnava · Fri 9 Jul, 05:57–19:11 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:38 on Fri 9 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:21): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:57, to sunset, 19:11, since parana is a day act: 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).
