Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 21 Jul, 06:54–12:56
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:47 on Tue 20 Jul to 12:56 on Wed 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 21:05 Tue. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 21 Jul, 06:54. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:04.
The rule
