Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Sat 8 Feb in Pāthardi?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Sat 8 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:26 Fri to 20:16.
Ekadashi ended at 20:16 Sat; 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 Sat 8 Feb only, at 07:01: Sat 8 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:26 Fri, before it (05:25–07:01).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 9 Feb, 07:00–18:26 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:16 on Sat 8 Feb to 19:25 on Sun 9 Feb; harivasara ends at 02:03. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 9 Feb, 07:00. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:26: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:17.
The rule
