Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Mon 27 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Mon 27 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:25 to 00:10 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 00:10; 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 Mon 27 Jul only, at 06:03: Mon 27 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:25, before it (04:27–06:03).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 28 Jul, 06:04–19:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:10 on Tue 28 Jul to 23:07 on Tue 28 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:54. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 28 Jul, 06:04. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
