Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 7 Jul, 05:48–18:40
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:45 on Sun 6 Jul to 18:40 on Mon 7 Jul; harivasara ends at 23:14 Sun. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 7 Jul, 05:48. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:22.
The rule
