Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 18 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 18 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:56 to 23:23.
Ekadashi ended at 23:23 Wed; 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 Wed 18 Jun only, at 05:51: Wed 18 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:56, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 19 Jun, 05:51–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:23 on Wed 18 Jun to 20:17 on Thu 19 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:36. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 19 Jun, 05:51. 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.
The rule
