dvijais tad-dharma-saṅkate
muhurta-ardha-avasistayam-was remaining only for half a moment; dvadasyam-when the Dvadasi day; paranam-the breaking of the fast; prati-to observe; cintayam asa-began to think about; dharma-jnah-one who knows the principles of religion; dvijaih-by the brahmanas; tat-dharma-concerning that religious principle; saṅkate-in such a dangerous condition.
TRANSLATION
In the meantime, only a muhurta of the Dvadasi day was left on which to break the fast. Consequently, it was imperative that the fast be broken immediately. In this dangerous situation, the King consulted learned brahmanas.
