BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY: BHISMA PANCHAKA STARTS ON THIS DAY. LORD KRSNA IS OFFERED GHEE LAMP KEPT ON A PEALED SUGARCANE PIECE IN THE EVENING.

Lord Brahmā said to Nārada Muni, “Dear son, O best of the sages, I shall narrate to you the glories of Haribodhinī Ekādaśī, which eradicates all kinds of sins and bestows great merit, and ultimately liberation, upon the wise persons who surrender unto the Supreme Lord. “O best of the brāhmaṇas, the merits acquired by bathing in the Ganges remain significant only as long as Haribodhinī Ekādaśī does not come. This Ekādaśī, which occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Kārtika, is much more purifying than a bath in the ocean, at a place of pilgrimage, or in a lake. This sacred Ekādaśī is more powerful in nullifying sin than one thousand Aśvamedha sacrifices and one hundred Rājasūya sacrifices.”
