Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Wed 17 Feb in Pāthardi?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Wed 17 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:19 Tue to 17:32.
Ekadashi ended at 17:32 Wed; 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 Wed 17 Feb only, at 06:56: Wed 17 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:19 Tue, before it (05:20–06:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 18 Feb, 06:56–14:28
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:32 on Wed 17 Feb to 14:28 on Thu 18 Feb; harivasara ends at 22:46 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 18 Feb, 06:56. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:15.
The rule
Magha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
