Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 3 Jul or Sun 4 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 3 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 4 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:40. Ekadashi: 07:40 to 05:03 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:03; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:40 Sat to 05:03.
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 begins at 07:40 on Sat 3 Jul, after that sunrise (05:55), and ends at 05:03 on Sun 4 Jul, before the next (05:56 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 3 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 3 Jul arunodaya (04:19–05:55) is Dashami. On Sun 4 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:03, then Dwadashi): Sun 4 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 4 Jul, 10:16–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:03 on Sun 4 Jul to 01:56 on Mon 5 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:16. 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, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 5 Jul, 05:56–19:11 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:56 on Mon 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.
