Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Thu 3 Dec or Fri 4 Dec in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Mokshada Ekadashi is on Thu 3 Dec: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 4 Dec.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:27. Ekadashi: 07:27 to 05:32 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:32; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:27 Thu to 05:32.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:27 on Thu 3 Dec, after that sunrise (07:03), and ends at 05:32 on Fri 4 Dec, before the next (07:04 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 3 Dec.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 3 Dec arunodaya (05:27–07:03) is Dashami. On Fri 4 Dec it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:32, then Dwadashi): Fri 4 Dec.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 4 Dec, 11:08–16:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:32 on Fri 4 Dec to 03:49 on Sat 5 Dec; harivasara ends at 11:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:31: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:58, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 5 Dec, 07:07–16:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:49 on Sat 5 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (05:29): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:05, to sunset, 16:31, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
