Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 3 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 3 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:32 Fri to 17:26.
Ekadashi ended at 17:26 Sat; 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 Sat 3 Jun only, at 05:50: Sat 3 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:32 Fri, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 4 Jun, 05:50–15:29
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:26 on Sat 3 Jun to 15:29 on Sun 4 Jun; harivasara ends at 22:57 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 4 Jun, 05:50. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
