Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 31 May or Tue 1 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 31 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 1 Jun.
Dashami until 05:47, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:47 to 03:13 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 03:13; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:47 Mon to 03:13.
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 Mon 31 May only, at 05:50: Mon 31 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 31 May Dashami lasts until 05:47, inside arunodaya (04:14–05:50), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:13, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 1 Jun: Tue 1 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Tue 1 Jun, 08:36–19:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:13 on Tue 1 Jun to 00:43 on Wed 2 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:36. 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.
Vaishnava · Wed 2 Jun, 05:50–19:03 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:43 on Wed 2 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:14): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:50, to sunset, 19:03, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
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).
