Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 2 Jul, 05:46–10:47
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 12:59 on Wed 1 Jul to 10:47 on Thu 2 Jul; harivasara ends at 18:26 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 2 Jul, 05:46.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
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).
