Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Fri 13 May or Sat 14 May in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Fri 13 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 14 May.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:21.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:23; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:21 Fri to 05:23.
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 08:21 on Fri 13 May, after that sunrise (05:55), and ends at 05:23 on Sat 14 May, before the next (05:55 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 13 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 13 May arunodaya (04:19–05:55) is Dashami. On Sat 14 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:23, then Dwadashi): Sat 14 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 14 May, 10:35–18:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:23 on Sat 14 May to 02:11 on Sun 15 May; harivasara ends at 10:35. 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 08:31, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 15 May, 05:54–18:56 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:11 on Sun 15 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:18): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:54, to sunset, 18:56, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
