Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Tue 15 Feb or Wed 16 Feb in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Jaya Ekadashi is on Tue 15 Feb: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 16 Feb.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:51. Ekadashi: 09:51 to 07:13 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 07:13; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 09:51 Tue to 07:13.
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 09:51 on Tue 15 Feb, after that sunrise (07:54), and ends at 07:13 on Wed 16 Feb, before the next (07:53 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 15 Feb.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 15 Feb arunodaya (06:18–07:54) is Dashami. On Wed 16 Feb it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 07:13, then Dwadashi): Wed 16 Feb.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 16 Feb, 12:31–18:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:13 on Wed 16 Feb to 04:26 on Thu 17 Feb; harivasara ends at 12:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:01, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 17 Feb, 07:52–18:36 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:26 on Thu 17 Feb, in the night, before arunodaya (06:16): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:52, to sunset, 18:36, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
