Why is Indira Ekadashi on Thu 13 Sep or Fri 14 Sep in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Indira Ekadashi is on Thu 13 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 14 Sep.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:46. Ekadashi: 08:46 to 06:09 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:09; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:46 Thu to 06:09.
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 08:46 on Thu 13 Sep, after that sunrise (06:16), and ends at 06:09 on Fri 14 Sep, before the next (06:16 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 13 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 13 Sep arunodaya (04:40–06:16) is Dashami. On Fri 14 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:09, then Dwadashi): Fri 14 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 14 Sep, 11:22–18:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:09 on Fri 14 Sep to 03:01 on Sat 15 Sep; harivasara ends at 11:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 15 Sep, 06:16–18:31 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:01 on Sat 15 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:40): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:16, to sunset, 18:31, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
