Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Jun, 05:50–19:07 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:47 on Thu 12 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:14): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:50, to sunset, 19:07, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
