Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 3 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 3 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:56 Tue to 19:01.
Ekadashi ended at 19:01 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 3 Jun only, at 05:50: Wed 3 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:56 Tue, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 4 Jun, 05:50–19:04 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:01 on Wed 3 Jun to 19:33 on Thu 4 Jun; harivasara ends at 01:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 4 Jun, 05:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:04: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
