Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 2 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:03 to 05:25 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:25; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:03 Sun to 05:25.
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 Sun 2 Jun only, at 05:50: Sun 2 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:03, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jun, 12:01–19:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:25 on Mon 3 Jun to 07:49 on Tue 4 Jun; harivasara ends at 12:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:03: 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.
The rule
