Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 20 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 20 Jun: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:36, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:36 to 07:52 Tue.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:36 Mon to 07:52.
Dwadashi: 07:52 Tue to 09:42, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 05:51 on Mon 19 Jun and 05:52 on Tue 20 Jun. Ekadashi (05:36 Mon 19 Jun to 07:52 Tue 20 Jun) and Dwadashi (07:52 Tue 20 Jun to 09:42 Wed 21 Jun) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Tue 20 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Mon 19 Jun Dashami lasts until 05:36, inside it (04:15–05:51); on Tue 20 Jun Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 21 Jun, 05:52–09:42
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:52 on Tue 20 Jun to 09:42 on Wed 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 14:19 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 21 Jun, 05:52.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- 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).
