Ambareesha vyakhyanam, procedures for Dwadasi paranai, details about sage Durvasa and Jala paranai are mentioned in the 9th Skanda of the Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam. Since Ambareesha performed Jala paranai, the angered sage cursed Ambareesha; as a result, the Chakrayudha chased him and everyone including the likes of Brahma, Rudra, etc. abandoned the sage; as ordained by Emperuman, when the sage surrendered unto the devotee Ambareesha, who prayed to Chakrayudha and rescued the sage. Adiyen has a doubt related to this incidence – it is said the sage took refuge unto Ambareesha after one year and that King Ambareesha completed his paranai after this. In the intervening year, there would have been many Dwadasi-s; what happened during this period?

Yes, several Ekadasi-s and Dwadasi-s occurred during this one year; but with regards to King Ambareesha, his Dwadasi paranai was not fulfilled for one year. This is a super-human incident and beyond ordinary queries.
