[There are three paranas in the eleventh month, two in the twelfth month, two in the thirteenth month, two in the fourteenth month, two in the fifteenth month, and two in the sixteenth month. All these add up to 73 paranas. There are 407 days of tapasya and 73 days of parana, which together make 480 days, meaning this tapasya is completed in sixteen months. In this tapasya, the days of tapasya and parana combined in a month may exceed thirty, and in some months may be less than thirty, but the excess and deficit compensate each other, making a total of thirty. In this way, this tapasya is completed in sixteen months.
In short, in this tapasya, alternate fasting is done in the first month, belebele parana is done in the second month, and tele-tele parana is done in the third month. In this way, increasing the number of fasts, in the sixteenth month, sixteen-sixteen fasts are done and parana is performed. In this tapasya, during the day, one sits in the utkutuk asana and takes the sun's rays, and at night, one sits in the virasana without clothes and meditates. The yantra of the Gunaratnasamvatsara tapasya is also seen, which is as follows:
