Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 5 Jun or Sat 6 Jun in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 5 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 6 Jun.

Dashami until 04:29, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:29 to 04:28 Sat.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:28; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:29 Fri to 04:28.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 5 Jun only, at 05:41: Fri 5 Jun.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 5 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:29, inside arunodaya (04:05–05:41), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:28, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 6 Jun: Sat 6 Jun.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 6 Jun, 10:35–18:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:28 on Sat 6 Jun to 04:54 on Sun 7 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:20, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 7 Jun, 04:05–04:54 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 04:54 on Sun 7 Jun, after arunodaya begins (04:05) and before sunrise (05:41). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
