Why is Vijaya Ekadashi on Sun 23 Feb or Mon 24 Feb in Davinópolis?
Smarta · For Smartas, Vijaya Ekadashi is on Sun 23 Feb: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 24 Feb.
Dashami until 05:26, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:26 to 05:15 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:15; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:26 Sun to 05:15.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 23 Feb only, at 06:15: Sun 23 Feb.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 23 Feb Dashami lasts until 05:26, inside arunodaya (04:39–06:15), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:15, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 24 Feb: Mon 24 Feb.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 24 Feb, 11:01–18:29 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:15 on Mon 24 Feb to 04:17 on Tue 25 Feb; harivasara ends at 11:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:29: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:42, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 25 Feb, 06:15–18:29 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:17 on Tue 25 Feb, in the night, before arunodaya (04:39): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:15, to sunset, 18:29, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
