Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 23 Jun or Sat 24 Jun in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 23 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 24 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:22. Ekadashi: 06:22 to 03:26 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:26; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:22 Fri to 03:26.
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 begins at 06:22 on Fri 23 Jun, after that sunrise (05:53), and ends at 03:26 on Sat 24 Jun, before the next (05:53 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 23 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 23 Jun arunodaya (04:17–05:53) is Dashami. On Sat 24 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:26, then Dwadashi): Sat 24 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 24 Jun, 08:39–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:26 on Sat 24 Jun to 00:19 on Sun 25 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 25 Jun, 05:53–19:10 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:19 on Sun 25 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:53, to sunset, 19:10, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
