Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 17 Oct, 06:00–13:09
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 13:08 on Sat 16 Oct to 13:09 on Sun 17 Oct; harivasara ends at 19:08 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 17 Oct, 06:00. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:22.
The rule
