Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Wed 3 Sep in Pāthardi?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Wed 3 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:53 to 04:22 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 04:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:53 Wed to 04:22.
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 Wed 3 Sep only, at 06:14: Wed 3 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:53, before it (04:38–06:14).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 4 Sep, 10:19–18:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:22 on Thu 4 Sep to 04:08 on Fri 5 Sep; harivasara ends at 10:19. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:41: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
