Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 8 Jul or Sun 9 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 8 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 9 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:44. Ekadashi: 07:44 to 04:59 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:59; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:44 Sat to 04:59.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:44 on Sat 8 Jul, after that sunrise (05:36), and ends at 04:59 on Sun 9 Jul, before the next (05:37 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 8 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 8 Jul arunodaya (04:00–05:36) is Dashami. On Sun 9 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:59, then Dwadashi): Sun 9 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 9 Jul, 10:11–20:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:59 on Sun 9 Jul to 01:47 on Mon 10 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 10 Jul, 05:38–20:32 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:47 on Mon 10 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:02): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:38, to sunset, 20:32, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
