Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jul or Mon 3 Jul in Baoding?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 2 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 3 Jul.
Dashami until 03:44, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:44 to 02:34 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:34; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:44 Sun to 02:34.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 2 Jul only, at 04:56: Sun 2 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 2 Jul Dashami lasts until 03:44, inside arunodaya (03:20–04:56), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:34, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 3 Jul: Mon 3 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 3 Jul, 08:22–19:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:34 on Mon 3 Jul to 01:47 on Tue 4 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:55, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 4 Jul, 04:57–19:46 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:47 on Tue 4 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:21): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:57, to sunset, 19:46, 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).
