A king named Vaikhanas ruled in a city called Gokul. The Brahmins, who knew the four Vedas, lived in his kingdom. That king used to follow his sons’ sonship. Once at night the king had a dream that his father was in hell. He was surprised.
In the morning he went to the learned Brahmins and narrated his dream. Said- I have seen my father suffering in hell. He said to me – O son, I am in hell. From here you free me. I have been very nervous ever since I heard these words. There is a great disturbance in the mind.
I do not feel any happiness in this kingdom, money, son, woman, elephant, horse etc. What to do? The king said- O Brahmin gods! Because of this sorrow, my whole body is burning. Now please tell me such austerities, donations, fasts etc. such a remedy that will liberate my father.
The life of a son who is unable to save his parents is meaningless. A perfect son who saves his parents and ancestors is better than a thousand foolish sons. Just like a moon lights up the whole world, but thousands of stars cannot.
The Brahmins said – O Rajan! Nearby here is the ashram of the mountain sage who knows the past, the future and the present. They will definitely solve your problem. Hearing this, the king went to Muni’s ashram. In that ashram many quiet Chitta yogis and sages were doing penance. Mount Muni was sitting at the same place. The king prostrated the sage to Sastang. The sage took skillful news from the king.
The king said that by your kindness, Maharaja is all proficient in my kingdom, but accidentally there is a lot of disturbance in my mind. Hearing this, the mountain monk closed his eyes and started thinking.
Then said, O Rajan! I have known your father’s misdeeds through the power of yoga. In a previous life, he gave a sage to a wife after being salacious, but did not give it to the other wife even when he asked for a donation. Because of that same sinful act, your father had to go to hell. Then the king said, tell me some solution.
Muni said – O Rajan! You fast on Margashirsha Ekadashi and resolve the virtue of that fast to your father. With this effect, your father will definitely be freed from hell. Hearing these words of the Muni, the King came to the palace and according to the Muni, observed the fast of Mokshada Ekadashi including the family.
