Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Tue 14 Dec in Pāthardi?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Tue 14 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:33 Mon to 23:36.
Ekadashi ended at 23:36 Tue; 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 Tue 14 Dec only, at 06:54: Tue 14 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:33 Mon, before it (05:18–06:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 15 Dec, 06:54–17:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:36 on Tue 14 Dec to 02:01 on Thu 16 Dec; harivasara ends at 06:12. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 15 Dec, 06:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:06.
The rule
