Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 1 Jun, 05:41–09:09
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:16 on Wed 31 May to 09:09 on Thu 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 15:14 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 1 Jun, 05:41.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
