Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 4 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 4 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:16 to 02:21 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 02:21; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:16 Fri to 02:21.
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 Fri 4 Jun only, at 05:50: Fri 4 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:16, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 5 Jun, 08:45–19:04 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:21 on Sat 5 Jun to 03:57 on Sun 6 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:45. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:04: 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
