Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Sat 14 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Sat 14 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:26 to 04:12 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 04:12; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:26 Sat to 04:12.
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 holds sunrise on Sat 14 Feb only, at 07:55: Sat 14 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 05:26, before it (06:19–07:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 15 Feb, 09:58–18:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:12 on Sun 15 Feb to 03:18 on Mon 16 Feb; harivasara ends at 09:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:02.
