Why is Utpanna Ekadashi on Sun 12 Nov or Mon 13 Nov in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Utpanna Ekadashi is on Sun 12 Nov: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 13 Nov.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:01. Ekadashi: 08:01 to 05:12 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 05:12; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:01 Sun to 05:12.
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 begins at 08:01 on Sun 12 Nov, after that sunrise (07:43), and ends at 05:12 on Mon 13 Nov, before the next (07:44 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 12 Nov.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 12 Nov arunodaya (06:07–07:43) is Dashami. On Mon 13 Nov it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:12, then Dwadashi): Mon 13 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 13 Nov, 10:27–17:43 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:12 on Mon 13 Nov to 02:11 on Tue 14 Nov; harivasara ends at 10:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:43: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:44, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 14 Nov, 07:45–17:43 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:11 on Tue 14 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (06:09): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:45, to sunset, 17:43, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
