Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 21 Jul or Sun 22 Jul in Baoding?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 21 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 22 Jul.
Dashami until 04:43, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:43 to 02:45 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:45; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:43 Sat to 02:45.
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 Sat 21 Jul only, at 05:09: Sat 21 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 21 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:43, inside arunodaya (03:33–05:09), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:45, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 22 Jul: Sun 22 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 22 Jul, 08:18–19:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:45 on Sun 22 Jul to 00:59 on Mon 23 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:03, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 23 Jul, 05:11–19:37 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:59 on Mon 23 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:35): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:11, to sunset, 19:37, 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).
