Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 1 Jun or Mon 2 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 1 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 2 Jun.
Dashami until 05:21, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:21 to 04:13 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 04:13; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:21 Sun to 04:13.
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 Sun 1 Jun only, at 05:50: Sun 1 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 1 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:21, inside arunodaya (04:14–05:50), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:13, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 2 Jun: Mon 2 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 2 Jun, 09:45–19:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:13 on Mon 2 Jun to 02:21 on Tue 3 Jun; harivasara ends at 09:45. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 3 Jun, 05:50–19:04 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:21 on Tue 3 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:14): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:50, to sunset, 19:04, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi

- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).

- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
