Why is Mohini Ekadashi on Wed 4 May or Thu 5 May in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mohini Ekadashi is on Wed 4 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 5 May.
Dashami until 05:31, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:31 to 03:49 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:49; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:31 Wed to 03:49.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 4 May only, at 05:55: Wed 4 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 4 May Dashami lasts until 05:31, inside arunodaya (04:19–05:55), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:49, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 5 May: Thu 5 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 5 May, 09:13–19:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:49 on Thu 5 May to 01:25 on Fri 6 May; harivasara ends at 09:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 6 May, 05:53–20:00 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:25 on Fri 6 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, 20:00, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
