Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 19 Jun or Mon 20 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 19 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 20 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:50. Ekadashi: 07:50 to 05:03 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:03; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:50 Sun to 05:03.
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 begins at 07:50 on Sun 19 Jun, after that sunrise (05:51), and ends at 05:03 on Mon 20 Jun, before the next (05:51 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 19 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 19 Jun arunodaya (04:15–05:51) is Dashami. On Mon 20 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:03, then Dwadashi): Mon 20 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 20 Jun, 10:18–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:03 on Mon 20 Jun to 02:04 on Tue 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:18. 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, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 21 Jun, 05:52–19:09 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:04 on Tue 21 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:16): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:52, to sunset, 19:09, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
