Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Thu 18 Feb in Pāthardi?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Thu 18 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:06 Wed to 21:33.
Ekadashi ended at 21:33 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Thu 18 Feb only, at 06:56: Thu 18 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:06 Wed, before it (05:20–06:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 19 Feb, 06:55–18:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:33 on Thu 18 Feb to 21:26 on Fri 19 Feb; harivasara ends at 03:31. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 19 Feb, 06:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:30: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:14.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
