Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 8 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:10 to 21:24.
Ekadashi ended at 21:24 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 8 Jun only, at 05:50: Tue 8 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:10, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 9 Jun, 05:50–18:28
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:24 on Tue 8 Jun to 18:28 on Wed 9 Jun; harivasara ends at 02:40. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 9 Jun, 05:50. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
