Monday fast story
There lived a moneylender in a city. There was no shortage of money in his house but he did not have any children, due to which he was very unhappy. He used to fast on Lord Shiva every Monday to get a child. Seeing his devotion, Mother Parvati was pleased and requested Lord Shiva to fulfill the wishes of the moneylender. Hearing Parvati's wish, Lord Shiva said, "O Parvati. Every living being in this world gets fruits according to his deeds and his There is no happiness of children in luck.
On the request of Mother Parvati, Shiva gave a boon to the moneylender but he also said that his child would be only 16 years old. A very beautiful child was born by the boon of God, when the son was 12 years old, the merchant sent him with his maternal uncle, went with his maternal uncle to get education. After a long journey, the maternal uncle and nephew reached a city where the daughter of the king of the city was married, due to which the whole city was decorated. The procession arrived at the appointed time but the father of the groom was very worried as his son was blind in one eye. He was afraid that on coming to know about this, the king might refuse the marriage.
When the groom's father saw the merchant's son, he thought why not make this boy a bridegroom and get him married to the princess. After marriage, I will send it away with money and will take the princess to my city. The father of the groom talked to the boy's maternal uncle in this regard. Mama accepted the matter in the greed of getting money. The king sent off the princess by giving a lot of money. When the boy was returning after marriage, he could not hide the truth and wrote on the princess's veil. When he read what happened, he refused to go with the boy.

When he was 16 years old, the boy's life was blown away, the uncle was crying and beating on seeing the dead nephew. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati also heard the voices of the boy's maternal uncle's crying, lamenting passing by. Mother Parvati again requested Lord Shiva and requested him to give life to that child.
