Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Wed 11 Dec in Pāthardi?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Wed 11 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:43 to 01:09 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 01:09; 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 Wed 11 Dec only, at 06:52: Wed 11 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:43, before it (05:16–06:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Dec, 06:53–17:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:09 on Thu 12 Dec to 22:26 on Thu 12 Dec; harivasara ends at 06:29. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 12 Dec, 06:53. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:05.
The rule
