Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 3 Jul or Thu 4 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 3 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 4 Jul.
Dashami until 04:59, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:59 to 02:14 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:14; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:59 Wed to 02:14.
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 Wed 3 Jul only, at 05:55: Wed 3 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 3 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:59, inside arunodaya (04:19–05:55), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:14, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 4 Jul: Thu 4 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 4 Jul, 07:32–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:14 on Thu 4 Jul to 23:27 on Thu 4 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:32. 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 08:35.
Vaishnava · Fri 5 Jul, 05:56–19:11 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:27 Thu on Fri 5 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:20): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:56, 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.

- 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).
