Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said, “O Lord of lords, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, all glories unto You! O master of the universe, You alone are the source of the four types of living entities-those born from eggs, those born from perspiration, those born from seeds, and those born from embryos. You alone are the root cause of all, O Lord, and therefore You are the creator, maintainer, and destroyer.

“My Lord, You have so kindly explained to me the auspicious day known as Ṣaṭ-tilā Ekādaśī, which occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Māgha [January-February] . Now please explain the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light fortnight of this month. By what name is it known, and what is the process for observing it? Who is the Deity that is worshiped on this sublime day, which is so very dear to You?”
