Paramā Ekādaśī Vrataṁ – of the extra, leap-year month kṛṣṇa pakṣa
June 11

BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY.
Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said, “O Supreme Lord, what is the name and character of that Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark fortnight of the extra, leap year month. Also, O master of all the universes, what is the process for observing it properly? Kindly narrate all of this to me?”
The Supreme Personality of God, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, replied, “O Yudhiṣṭhira, this meritorious day is called Paramā Ekādaśī. It bestows the great benediction of an enjoyable life and ultimate liberation, release from birth and death. The process for observing it is similar to that for observing the Ekādaśī that occurs during the light part of this month of Kārtika. That is to say, on this Ekādaśī one should worship Me, the best of all living beings, with full love and devotion. In this connection I will now tell you a wonderful history, just as I heard it from the great sage in the city of Kāmpilya.
