Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 13 Jun, 05:42–17:39
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:28 on Mon 12 Jun to 17:39 on Tue 13 Jun; harivasara ends at 22:46 Mon. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 13 Jun, 05:42. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:17.
The rule
