Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Mon 27 Jun in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Mon 27 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:44 to 22:57.
Ekadashi ended at 22:57 Mon; 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 Mon 27 Jun only, at 05:53: Mon 27 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:44, before it (04:17–05:53).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 28 Jun, 05:53–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:57 on Mon 27 Jun to 19:44 on Tue 28 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 28 Jun, 05:53. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
