Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 26 Jul, 06:03–13:58
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 11:34 on Sat 25 Jul to 13:58 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 18:10 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 26 Jul, 06:03. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
