Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Wed 5 Apr or Thu 6 Apr in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Wed 5 Apr: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 6 Apr.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:46. Ekadashi: 07:46 to 04:58 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:58; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:46 Wed to 04:58.

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 07:46 on Wed 5 Apr, after that sunrise (06:19), and ends at 04:58 on Thu 6 Apr, before the next (06:18 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 5 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 5 Apr arunodaya (04:43–06:19) is Dashami. On Thu 6 Apr it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:58, then Dwadashi): Thu 6 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 6 Apr, 10:12–18:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:58 on Thu 6 Apr to 01:52 on Fri 7 Apr; harivasara ends at 10:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:47, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 7 Apr, 06:18–18:44 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:52 on Fri 7 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:42): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:18, to sunset, 18:44, 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).
