Viṣṇu stotram
Tithi śloka
Dvādaśī is normally the pāraṇa day after an Ekādaśī fast. Vaiṣṇava law moves the fast itself to Dvādaśī only under specified defects such as Daśamī touching Ekādaśī at Aruṇodaya.

IAST
Yadāruṇodaye viddhā daśamyaikādaśī tithiḥ | Tadā tāṃ saṃparityajya dvādaśīṃ samupoṣayet ||
When Ekādaśī is pierced by Daśamī at Aruṇodaya, that Ekādaśī is rejected and the fast is kept on Dvādaśī.

Bhāgavata Purāṇa 9.4.39–40.
IAST
Brāhmaṇātikrame doṣo dvādaśyāṃ yad apāraṇe | Yat kṛtvā sādhu me bhūyād adharmo vā na māṃ spṛśet || Ambhasā kevalenātha kariṣye vratapāraṇam | Āhur abbhakṣaṇaṃ viprā hy aśitaṃ nāśitaṃ ca tat ||
Ambarīṣa fears both slighting his brāhmaṇa guest and failing to complete pāraṇa within Dvādaśī. He seeks the course that will do him good and let no adharma touch him. He therefore completes the pāraṇa of his vrata with water alone, which the learned regard as both eaten and not eaten.
Note: Dates depend on your place, timezone and vrata settings. Temple custom may differ.
