Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Fri 19 Dec or Sat 20 Dec in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Dec: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 20 Dec.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:20. Ekadashi: 07:20 to 04:46 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 04:46; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:20 Fri to 04:46.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:20 on Fri 19 Dec, after that sunrise (06:56), and ends at 04:46 on Sat 20 Dec, before the next (06:57 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 19 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 19 Dec arunodaya (05:20–06:56) is Dashami. On Sat 20 Dec it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:46, then Dwadashi): Sat 20 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 20 Dec, 10:01–17:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:46 on Sat 20 Dec to 01:45 on Sun 21 Dec; harivasara ends at 10:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:08, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 21 Dec, 06:57–17:56 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:45 on Sun 21 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (05:21): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:57, to sunset, 17:56, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

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).
