Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Sun 26 Apr or Mon 27 Apr in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Sun 26 Apr: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 27 Apr.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:01. Ekadashi: 07:01 to 04:42 Mon.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:42; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:01 Sun to 04:42.

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 07:01 on Sun 26 Apr, after that sunrise (06:04), and ends at 04:42 on Mon 27 Apr, before the next (06:03 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 26 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 26 Apr arunodaya (04:28–06:04) is Dashami. On Mon 27 Apr it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:42, then Dwadashi): Mon 27 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Mon 27 Apr, 10:08–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:42 on Mon 27 Apr to 02:25 on Tue 28 Apr; harivasara ends at 10:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:37, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Tue 28 Apr, 06:03–18:50 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:25 on Tue 28 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:27): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:03, to sunset, 18:50, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Chaitra 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).
