Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Jun, 05:52–17:19
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:13 on Thu 20 Jun to 17:19 on Fri 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 21:45 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 21 Jun, 05:52. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
The rule
