Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 3 Jul or Sun 4 Jul in Sevan?
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 06:10. Ekadashi: 06:10 to 03:33 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 03:33; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:10 Sat to 03:33.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:10 on Sat 3 Jul, after that sunrise (05:34), and ends at 03:33 on Sun 4 Jul, before the next (05:35 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 (03:58–05:34) is Dashami. On Sun 4 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:33, then Dwadashi): Sun 4 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 4 Jul, 08:46–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:33 on Sun 4 Jul to 00:26 on Mon 5 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 5 Jul, 05:35–20:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:26 on Mon 5 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:59): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:35, to sunset, 20:33, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
