Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 28 Jun or Sat 29 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 28 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 29 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:38. Ekadashi: 06:38 to 04:00 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 04:00; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:38 Fri to 04:00.
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 begins at 06:38 on Fri 28 Jun, after that sunrise (05:53), and ends at 04:00 on Sat 29 Jun, before the next (05:54 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 28 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 28 Jun arunodaya (04:17–05:53) is Dashami. On Sat 29 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:00, then Dwadashi): Sat 29 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 29 Jun, 09:20–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:00 on Sat 29 Jun to 01:17 on Sun 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 09:20. 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, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 30 Jun, 05:54–19:10 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:17 on Sun 30 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:18): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:54, to sunset, 19:10, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
