Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 18 Jun or Tue 19 Jun in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 18 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 19 Jun.

Dashami until 04:17, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:17 to 04:54 Tue.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:54; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:17 Mon to 04:54.

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 Mon 18 Jun only, at 05:51: Mon 18 Jun.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 18 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:17, inside arunodaya (04:15–05:51), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:54, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 19 Jun: Tue 19 Jun.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 19 Jun, 11:11–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:54 on Tue 19 Jun to 06:01 on Wed 20 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 20 Jun, 05:51–06:01

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:54 on Tue 19 Jun to 06:01 on Wed 20 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:11 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 20 Jun, 05:51.

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).
