According to religious belief, once upon a time Narada Muni reached Baikunth, the abode of Lord Vishnu. There he asked Lord Vishnu about the importance of the Shatila Ekadashi fast. On the request of Narad ji, Lord Vishnu told that in ancient times the wife of a Brahmin lived on earth. Her husband had died. She was my dear devotee and worshiped me with reverence. Once he worshiped me by fasting for a month. Due to the effect of the fast, her body became pure, but she never used to donate food to Brahmins and gods, so i thought that this woman would remain unsatisfied even after staying in Baikunth, so I myself went to her for alms one day When I begged him for alms, he picked up an earthen lump and placed it on my hands. I returned to my abode with that pind. After some time she left the body and came to my world. Here he found a hut and a mango tree. Seeing the empty hut, she came to me frightened and said, I am pious, then why did I get the empty hut? Then I told him that this happened because of not donating food and giving me a lump of clay. then told him that when the girls of God come to meet you, then you should open your door until they tell you the law of fasting for ekadashi.The woman did the same and fasted on Shatila Ekadashi according to the methods which Devkanya had said.Due to the effect of the fast, his hut was filled with food and money. Therefore, O Narada, consider this to be true that a person who observes fast on this Ekadashi and donates sesame seeds and food attains liberation and glory. I then told him that when the girls of God come to meet you,then you should open your door only until they tell you the law of fasting for Shatila Ekadashi.Due to the effect of the fast, his hut was filled with food and money. Therefore, O Narada, consider this to be true that a person who observes fast on this Ekadashi and donates sesame seeds and food, attains liberation and glory.
