Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 11 Jun or Sun 12 Jun in Davinópolis?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 11 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 12 Jun.
Dashami until 05:03, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:03 to 02:26 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:26; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:03 Sat to 02:26.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 11 Jun only, at 06:14: Sat 11 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 11 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:03, inside arunodaya (04:38–06:14), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:26, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 12 Jun: Sun 12 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 12 Jun, 07:47–18:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:26 on Sun 12 Jun to 23:50 on Sun 12 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:47. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36.
Vaishnava · Mon 13 Jun, 06:15–18:03 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:50 Sun on Mon 13 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:39): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:15, to sunset, 18:03, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
