Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 13 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 13 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:53 to 05:16 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:16; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:53 Sun to 05:16.
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 13 Jul only, at 05:59: Sun 13 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:53, before it (04:23–05:59).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 14 Jul, 11:51–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:16 on Mon 14 Jul to 07:38 on Tue 15 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:51. 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 08:37, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
