Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Tue 26 Jul or Wed 27 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Padmini Ekadashi is on Tue 26 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 27 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:31. Ekadashi: 07:31 to 04:39 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:39; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:31 Tue to 04:39.
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 07:31 on Tue 26 Jul, after that sunrise (06:03), and ends at 04:39 on Wed 27 Jul, before the next (06:03 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 26 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 26 Jul arunodaya (04:27–06:03) is Dashami. On Wed 27 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:39, then Dwadashi): Wed 27 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 27 Jul, 09:52–19:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:39 on Wed 27 Jul to 01:33 on Thu 28 Jul; harivasara ends at 09:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 28 Jul, 06:04–19:06 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:33 on Thu 28 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:28): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:04, to sunset, 19:06, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
