Why is Vijaya Ekadashi on Wed 6 Mar or Thu 7 Mar in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Vijaya Ekadashi is on Wed 6 Mar: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 7 Mar.

Dashami until 06:31, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:31 to 04:14 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 04:14; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:31 Wed to 04:14.

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 Wed 6 Mar only, at 06:44: Wed 6 Mar.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 6 Mar Dashami lasts until 06:31, inside arunodaya (05:08–06:44), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:14, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 7 Mar: Thu 7 Mar.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 7 Mar, 09:30–18:36 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:14 on Thu 7 Mar to 01:20 on Fri 8 Mar; harivasara ends at 09:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:36: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:06, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 8 Mar, 06:43–18:36 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:20 on Fri 8 Mar, in the night, before arunodaya (05:07): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:43, to sunset, 18:36, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Phalguna Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Magha 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).
