Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 13 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 13 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:37 to 21:53.
Ekadashi ended at 21:53 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 13 Jun only, at 05:41: Tue 13 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:37, before it (04:05–05:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 14 Jun, 05:41–18:58 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:53 on Tue 13 Jun to 19:03 on Wed 14 Jun; harivasara ends at 03:11. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 14 Jun, 05:41. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:58: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21.
