Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 31 May or Tue 1 Jun in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 31 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 1 Jun.
Dashami until 04:17, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:17 to 01:43 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 01:43; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:17 Mon to 01:43.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 05:32: Mon 31 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 31 May Dashami lasts until 04:17, inside arunodaya (03:56–05:32), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 01:43, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 1 Jun: Tue 1 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Tue 1 Jun, 07:06–20:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:43 on Tue 1 Jun to 23:13 on Tue 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
Vaishnava · Wed 2 Jun, 05:31–20:24 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:13 Tue on Wed 2 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (03:55): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:31, to sunset, 20:24, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
