Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Fri 1 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Fri 1 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:05 to 00:40 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:40; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Fri 1 Feb only, at 08:09: Fri 1 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:05, before it (06:33–08:09).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 2 Feb, 08:08–18:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:40 on Sat 2 Feb to 00:24 on Sun 3 Feb; harivasara ends at 06:36. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 2 Feb, 08:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:10.
