Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 20 Jun, 05:52–15:17
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 12:49 on Thu 19 Jun to 15:17 on Fri 20 Jun; harivasara ends at 19:26 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 20 Jun, 05:52. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
