Timely breaking of the fast on Dwadasi is as important as observing the fast
on Ekadasi. Normally, the fast must be broken before trayOdasi arrives. If
there is insufficient time, the fasting can be broken with water. From the
ShastrAs we find:
pArayitvodakenApi bhuJNjano naiva dushhyati |
ashitAnashitA yasmAdApo vidvadbhirIritAH |
aMbhasA kevalenaiva karishhye vratapAraNam.h
If you have observed a complete fast (without even water) you do not need to break it with grains. You can break it with caranamrita or fruit. But if you have observed Ekadasi by eating fruit, vegetables, etc., then it should be broken on the following day by taking grains at the times mentioned herein.
[If there is insufficient time] there is no flaw if water is consumed for
pAraNe; for it is stated by the learned that water has the property that
when consumed, it is still as if one has not consumed; thus, with only
water, do I perform the ceremonial paraNe. If there is not enough time for
a proper pAraNe, then the fast may be broken merely by sipping water;
dvAdashI na pramoktavyA yAvadAyuH pravartate |
archanIyo hR^ishhIkesho vishuddhenAntarAtmanA
The dvAdashI is not to be neglected, as long as life goes on; Hrshikesha
is to be worshipped [for so long] with a clean psyche.
Concerning the food for Dwadasi pAranE, one should avoid using anything
related to plantains (vazhai kaay, ilai etc.), also avoid chilies and
tamarind. One can substitute pepper for chilies and lemon or dry mango
powder for tamarind.
