Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Tue 17 May or Wed 18 May in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Tue 17 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 18 May.

Dashami until 04:22, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:22 to 03:06 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 03:06; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:22 Tue to 03:06.

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 holds sunrise on Tue 17 May only, at 05:53: Tue 17 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 17 May Dashami lasts until 04:22, inside arunodaya (04:17–05:53), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:06, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 18 May: Wed 18 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 18 May, 08:52–18:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:06 on Wed 18 May to 02:11 on Thu 19 May; harivasara ends at 08:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 19 May, 05:53–18:57 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:11 on Thu 19 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:53, to sunset, 18:57, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Vaishakha 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).
