Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Thu 29 Jul or Fri 30 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Thu 29 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 30 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:34. Ekadashi: 07:34 to 05:13 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:13; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:34 Thu to 05:13.
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 begins at 07:34 on Thu 29 Jul, after that sunrise (06:04), and ends at 05:13 on Fri 30 Jul, before the next (06:05 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 29 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 29 Jul arunodaya (04:28–06:04) is Dashami. On Fri 30 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:13, then Dwadashi): Fri 30 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 30 Jul, 10:29–19:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:13 on Fri 30 Jul to 02:18 on Sat 31 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 31 Jul, 06:05–19:05 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:18 on Sat 31 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:29): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:05, to sunset, 19:05, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
