Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 8 Jul or Wed 9 Jul in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 9 Jul.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:57. Ekadashi: 05:57 to 04:40 Wed.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:40; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:57 Tue to 04:40.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:57 on Tue 8 Jul, after that sunrise (05:57), and ends at 04:40 on Wed 9 Jul, before the next (05:57 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 8 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 8 Jul arunodaya (04:21–05:57) is Dashami. On Wed 9 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:40, then Dwadashi): Wed 9 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 9 Jul, 10:09–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:40 on Wed 9 Jul to 02:35 on Thu 10 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:09. 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 08:36, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 10 Jul, 05:57–19:11 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:35 on Thu 10 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:21): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:57, to sunset, 19:11, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
