Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Fri 3 Feb in Pāthardi?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Fri 3 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:31 to 04:56 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 04:56; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:31 Fri to 04:56.
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 holds sunrise on Fri 3 Feb only, at 07:03: Fri 3 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:31, before it (05:27–07:03).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 4 Feb, 11:06–18:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:56 on Sat 4 Feb to 05:37 on Sun 5 Feb; harivasara ends at 11:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Magha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
