Story: According to the fast of Putrada/Pavitra Ekadashi, in the beginning of the Dwapar era, a king named Mahishti Puri ruled in the city named Mahishit, but the king did not find the kingdom pleasing due to being a sonless. He believed that for the one who does not have children, both the folk and the hereafter are sad. The king took many measures to attain son happiness, but the king did not get the son.

Seeing the old age, the king called the representatives of the subjects and said- O Prajajan! My treasure does not have unjust money from injustice. Neither have I ever snatched the wealth of gods and Brahmins. I did not even take any other heritage of another, kept the subjects like a son. I continued to punish criminals like sons and bandhas. Never hated anyone. Everyone is considered equal. I always worship gentlemen. In this way, I do not have a son even while ruling a religion. So I am very sad, what is the reason for this?

To consider this thing of King Mahjit, the minister and the representatives of the subjects went to the forest. He saw big sages and sages there. To fulfill the best wish of the king, he kept looking at a superior ascetic monk. In an ashram, he saw a very veteran, great ascetic, unrelated, Jitendriya, Jitatma, Jitkrodh, who knew the esoteric elements of Sanatan Dharma, saw Mahatma Lomash Muni, the knowledgeable of all the scriptures, who had fallen a Rome when he was spent. Everyone went and bowed to the sage.

Seeing those people, the sage asked for what reasons have you come? Of course I will benefit you guys. I was born only for the favor of others, do not doubt it. Hearing such words of Lomash Rishi, everyone said- O Maharshe! You are more capable than Brahma in knowing our point. Therefore, you remove this doubt. The religious king of Mahishmati Puri follows the son of the Mahijit Praja. Nevertheless, he is sad due to being a sonless. Those people further said that we are his subjects. Therefore, we are also sad due to his sorrow. We have full faith in your philosophy that our crisis will definitely be removed because many sufferings are removed by the mere philosophy of great men. Now please please tell me the solution to be the son of the king.

Hearing this talk, the sage closed his eyes for a while and started knowing the account of the king’s previous birth and said that this king was a poor Vaishya in the previous birth. Being poor, it did many bad deeds. It used to go from one village to another to trade. At one time, on the day of Dwadashi of Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month, he was hungry and thirsty for two days, he went to drink water on a reservoir. At the same place, an immediately married thirsty cow water was drinking. The king removed the thirsty cow while drinking water and started drinking water himself, so the king had to bear this sorrow.

On the day of Ekadashi, he became a king and the thirsty cow has to bear the grief of the son’s disconnection due to the removal of water. Hearing this, everyone started saying, O sage! Atonement of sins is also written in the scriptures. Therefore, as the king’s sin is destroyed, tell me such a solution. Lomash Muni started saying that on the Ekadashi of Shravan Shukla Paksha, also called Putrada Ekadashi, you all fast and awaken at night, then this will definitely destroy the sin of this previous birth of the king, as well as the king will get the son.

Hearing such words of Lomash Rishi, all the Praja, including the ministers, returned to the city and when Shravan Shukla Ekadashi came, according to the sage’s knowledge, everyone fasted and awakened Putrada Ekadashi. After this, the fruit of its virtue was given to the king on the day of Dwadashi. With the influence of that virtue, the queen conceived and at the end of childbirth, a very stunning son was born.

In this way Shravan Shukla Ekadashi was named Putrada. Therefore, by keeping fast on this fast on the day of this fast, who desires children happiness, by reading this story and listening to its greatness, the fruit of Vaypai Yajna and fasting man are freed from all sins by enjoying child happiness in this world and heaven is obtained in the hereafter.
