Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Sat 3 May in Pāthardi?

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 4 May, 05:59–15:08
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:54 on Sat 3 May to 15:08 on Sun 4 May; harivasara ends at 21:43 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 4 May, 05:59. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34.
The rule
