Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 7 Jul, 07:03–17:14 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:45 on Sun 6 Jul to 19:40 on Mon 7 Jul; harivasara ends at 00:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 7 Jul, 07:03. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:14: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:05.
