Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 5 Jun or Sun 6 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 5 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 6 Jun.
Dashami until 04:40, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:40 to 02:06 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:06; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:40 Sat to 02:06.
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 5 Jun only, at 05:50: Sat 5 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 5 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:40, inside arunodaya (04:14–05:50), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:06, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 6 Jun: Sun 6 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 6 Jun, 07:28–19:05 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:06 on Sun 6 Jun to 23:33 on Sun 6 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:28. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:05: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
Vaishnava · Mon 7 Jun, 05:50–19:05 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:33 Sun on Mon 7 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, 19:05, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
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).
