Hari Vasara
शाब्दिक अर्थ (Shabdartha)
Hari's quarter-day
व्युत्पत्ति एवं धातु मूल (Vyutpatti)
Sanskrit, from 'Hari' (Vishnu) + 'vasara' (day, period): the first quarter of the Dvadashi tithi following an Ekadashi fast.
आध्यात्मिक भावार्थ व संदर्भ
Tradition holds Hari Vasara still belongs to Vishnu's own Ekadashi vigil, so breaking a fast during this window, even on the following day, is said to forfeit the fast's merit; devotees wait for it to pass before taking Parana.
