Varuthini Ekadashi fasting story

According to the legend, once upon a time there was a kingdom on the banks of Narmada which was ruled by King Mandhata. The king was very pious and the fame of his philanthropy was spread far and wide. He was an exclusive worshiper of Lord Vishnu. Once the king went to the forest for penance and got absorbed in austerity by taking a seat under a huge tree. At the same time a huge wild bear attacked them and started chewing the king’s feet by pressing them in his jaws. Being in penance, Mandhata sat patiently. When the bear started dragging them away, the king, following the ascetic religion, did not get angry and requested Lord Vishnu to protect him from this crisis. Pleased with the king’s penance, Lord Vishnu immediately appeared and killed the bear with his Sudarshan Chakra, but by then the bear had almost completely chewed the king’s leg. The king was very sad and was in pain. Lord Vishnu said that Vatsa should not be disturbed, worshiping my Varaha form on the Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha of Vaishakh month. By the glory of the fast you will again become fit and full of limbs. Whatever the bear did to you is the result of the sin of your previous birth. By observing this Ekadashi fast, you will also get freedom from all the sins of previous births. Mandhata fasted and he became as healthy as before. Due to the glory of the fast, the fame of the king also spread all around and his kingdom became a prosperous state.
