Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 27 May or Thu 28 May in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 27 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 28 May.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:27. Ekadashi: 07:27 to 05:00 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:00; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:27 Wed to 05:00.

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 begins at 07:27 on Wed 27 May, after that sunrise (05:51), and ends at 05:00 on Thu 28 May, before the next (05:51 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 27 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 27 May arunodaya (04:15–05:51) is Dashami. On Thu 28 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:00, then Dwadashi): Thu 28 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 28 May, 10:23–19:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:00 on Thu 28 May to 02:33 on Fri 29 May; harivasara ends at 10:23. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 29 May, 05:51–19:01 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:33 on Fri 29 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:15): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:51, to sunset, 19:01, since parana is a day act: 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).
