Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Sun 6 Feb or Mon 7 Feb in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Jaya Ekadashi is on Sun 6 Feb: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 7 Feb.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:48. Ekadashi: 09:48 to 07:55 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 07:55; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 09:48 Sun to 07:55.
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 09:48 on Sun 6 Feb, after that sunrise (08:05), and ends at 07:55 on Mon 7 Feb, before the next (08:04 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 6 Feb.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 6 Feb arunodaya (06:29–08:05) is Dashami. On Mon 7 Feb it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 07:55, then Dwadashi): Mon 7 Feb.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 7 Feb, 13:17–18:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:55 on Mon 7 Feb to 05:22 on Tue 8 Feb; harivasara ends at 13:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:08, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 8 Feb, 08:02–18:25 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:22 on Tue 8 Feb, in the night, before arunodaya (06:26): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 08:02, to sunset, 18:25, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
