Amalaki Ekadashi
Vashishta Muni recites the glory and mahatmya of Amalki (Amla) Ekadashi to a king named Mandhata.
After the death of Pardhi, due to the influence of Ekadashi vows and awakening, King Viduratha was born there, his name was Vasuratha, he became a very mighty, pious and prajavatsal king.
‘Hey Rajan, the statement of fasting Amla Ekadashi is on Phagan Sud Agiyarash. This Ekadashi is said to be the giver of all sins and the giver of the virtue of donating a thousand cows, so the glory of this Ekadashi vow is special.
In ancient times there was a beautiful town called 'Vaidish'. People of all four races lived happily in this town. There were no atheists in this town, the whole people were pious. No one was a sinner, no one was poor. What is a severe drought? The general public was not even aware of it. There was also no nuisance of any kind.
Born in the Mon dynasty, a king named Dharmatma was a supreme devotee of Vishnu. No one eats food on Ekadashi of Sud or Vad Paksha. The king had a son named Chitrarath who was also a pious man, a knower of the scriptures. Everyone in the state was fasting on Ekadashi day.
On the day of Phagan Sud Agiyarash, everyone, big or small, fasted, because the fast of 'Amla Ekadashi' is better than the old and the young. The king and the people bathed in the river as this fast was very fruitful. Chitraratha went to the temple and worshiped Lord Vishnu. He also worshiped the Amla tree on this day.
Pancharatna, fragrant substances, sandalwood etc. were spread in Kumbh and Kumbh was installed according to the scriptural ritual. Holding an umbrella over the Aquarius, then Lord Parashuram was established and worshiped and prayed that
‘O Jamadagnya, O son of Jamadagni Muni, O Renuka, you who cultivate the joy of mother, you are the one who bestows the blessing of devotion and liberation in the shade of the Amla tree. I greet you warmly. '
He then gives half of the Amla tree with the homage of clean water, circling the tree. The whole people also followed the chariot, the people also circumambulated and woke up at night.
At that moment a violent hunter came up there. He committed many sins for the sustenance of his family, many animals and birds. The apostate hunter observed the festival and lamps here. Here he saw the installation of Aquarius. Curious, he saw Lord Parshuram. I also listened to the story of Ekadashi vows and the story of Vishnu devotees. This hunter inadvertently awakened Ekadashi out of curiosity and participated in Katha-Kirtan and thus he spent the night.
Vashishta Muni tells Mandhata Raja that after the death of this Pardhi, due to the influence of Ekadashi vows and awakening, Viduratha Raja was born there, his name was Vasuratha, he became a very mighty, pious and Prajavatsal king. He performed many yagnas and gained a name as Daneshwari Raja. The one who fasts on Amla Ekadashi will undoubtedly lose Vishnulok and his glory is unparalleled. '
