Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Mon 1 Apr or Tue 2 Apr in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Mon 1 Apr: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 2 Apr.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:16. Ekadashi: 08:16 to 06:17 Tue.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:17; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:16 Mon to 06:17.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:16 on Mon 1 Apr, after that sunrise (06:23), and ends at 06:17 on Tue 2 Apr, before the next (06:22 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 1 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 1 Apr arunodaya (04:47–06:23) is Dashami. On Tue 2 Apr it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:17, then Dwadashi): Tue 2 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 2 Apr, 11:37–18:43 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:17 on Tue 2 Apr to 03:37 on Wed 3 Apr; harivasara ends at 11:37. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:43: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:50, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 3 Apr, 06:21–18:43 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 03:37 on Wed 3 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:45): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:21, to sunset, 18:43, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi

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

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
