Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Sun 1 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Sun 1 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:40 to 07:13 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 07:13; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:40 Sun 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 holds sunrise on Sun 1 Feb only, at 08:10: Sun 1 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:40, before it (06:34–08:10).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 2 Feb, 13:46–18:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:13 on Mon 2 Feb to 09:23 on Tue 3 Feb; harivasara ends at 13:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:18: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:11, which here ends before harivasara does.
