Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Thu 14 May in Pāthardi?
Mohini Ekadashi is on Thu 14 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:22 Wed to 20:16.
Ekadashi ended at 20:16 Thu; 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 Thu 14 May only, at 05:54: Thu 14 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:22 Wed, before it (04:18–05:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 May, 05:54–18:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:16 on Thu 14 May to 22:26 on Fri 15 May; harivasara ends at 02:48. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 15 May, 05:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
The rule
