Legend of Shatila Ekadashi
According to religious belief, Narad Muni once reached Baikunth, the abode of Lord Vishnu. There he asked Lord Vishnu about the importance of fasting on Shattila Ekadashi. On the insistence of Narada ji, Lord Vishnu told that, in ancient times, a Brahmin’s wife lived on the earth. Her husband had died.
She was my devoted devotee and worshiped me with reverence. Once he worshiped me by keeping a fast for a month. Due to the effect of the fast, her body was cleansed, but she never donated food for the Brahmin and the gods, so I thought that this woman would be unhappy even after living in Baikunta, so I myself went to her one day to ask for alms.
When I pleaded with him for alms, he picked up an earthen object and placed it on my hands. I returned to my abode with that body. After some time she gave up her body and came to my world. Here he found a hut and mango tree.
Seeing the empty hut, she panicked and came to me and said, I am a pious, then why did I get an empty hut? Then I told him that it was due to not providing food and giving me a body of clay. I then told him that when Dev girls come to meet you, you should open your door only until they tell you the law of fasting on Shatila Ekadashi.
The woman did the same and fasted Shattila Ekadashi with the methods which Devakanya had said. Due to the effect of the fast, her hut was filled with food money. Therefore, O Narada, believe that the person who fasts on this Ekadashi and performs Til and Annadan attains salvation and glory.
