Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 28 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:09 to 00:05 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:05; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:09 Tue to 00:05.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 28 Jun only, at 05:31: Tue 28 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:09, before it (03:55–05:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 29 Jun, 05:55–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:05 on Wed 29 Jun to 23:23 on Wed 29 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
