Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Sat 22 Apr or Sun 23 Apr in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Sat 22 Apr: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 23 Apr.

Dashami until 04:55, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:55 to 04:04 Sun.

Ekadashi ended at 04:04; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:55 Sat to 04:04.

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 holds sunrise on Sat 22 Apr only, at 06:06: Sat 22 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 22 Apr Dashami lasts until 04:55, inside arunodaya (04:30–06:06), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:04, so Vaishnavas fast on Sun 23 Apr: Sun 23 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sun 23 Apr, 09:40–18:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:04 on Sun 23 Apr to 02:26 on Mon 24 Apr; harivasara ends at 09:40. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Mon 24 Apr, 06:05–18:49 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:26 on Mon 24 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:29): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:05, to sunset, 18:49, 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).
