focusing on anushtAnams has answered this question
succinctly .

> Ekadasi is Vradham and Dwadasi is not Vradham but 'Paaranai'.
> 1. Without taking a drop of water for the whole Ekadesi day is called as
> 'Nirjala' upavasam.
> 2. Taking only one time tiffin and taking coffee like drinks when ever
> required.
> 3. Taking food (by roasting the rice before cooking it), with usual menu
> and taking tiffin in the night.
> The above mentioned three type of Ekadasi Vrdham can be graded
> 75% (25% for Dwadasi Paaranai)
> 75%
> 50%
> Success of Vradham if you do the 'Dwadasi Paaranai' i.e, taking food
> (after Dwadasi Aaradhanam) before 7.30 am is called 'Paaranai' which is
> most important than Vradham.
> The Paaranai is not done the 75% earned by the Eakadasi Vradham will also
