Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 5 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 5 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:02 Sat to 19:49.
Ekadashi ended at 19:49 Sun; 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 Sun 5 Jul only, at 05:56: Sun 5 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:02 Sat, before it (04:20–05:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 6 Jul, 05:56–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:49 on Sun 5 Jul to 21:05 on Mon 6 Jul; harivasara ends at 02:08. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 6 Jul, 05:56. 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.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
