Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 14 Jun or Thu 15 Jun in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 14 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 15 Jun.
Dashami until 04:48, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:48 to 02:54 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:54; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:48 Wed to 02:54.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 14 Jun only, at 05:29: Wed 14 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 14 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:48, inside arunodaya (03:53–05:29), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:54, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 15 Jun: Thu 15 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 15 Jun, 08:16–20:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:54 on Thu 15 Jun to 00:20 on Fri 16 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:32: 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 · Fri 16 Jun, 05:29–20:32 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:20 on Fri 16 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (03:53): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:29, to sunset, 20:32, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
