BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY. KHICHRI BHOG ENDS HERE.

Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said, “O Lord, You have so nicely explained the glories of the auspicious Saphalā Ekādaśī, which occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Pauṣa [December-January] . Now please be merciful to me and explain the Ekādaśī of the light fortnight of this month. What is its name, and what Deity should be worshiped on that sacred day? O Puruṣottama, O Hṛṣīkeśa, please also tell me how You can be pleased on this day.”

Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa replied, “O king, for the benefit of all humanity I shall tell you how to observe fasting on Pauṣa-śukla Ekādaśī. “As I previously explained, everyone should observe the rules and regulations of Ekādaśī to the best of his ability. This injunction also applies to the Ekādaśī named Putradā, which destroys all sins and elevates one to the spiritual abode. Śrī Nārāyana, the Supreme Lord and original personality, is the worshipable Deity of this Ekādaśī, and for His faithful devotee He happily fulfills all desires and awards full perfection. Thus among all the animate and inanimate beings in the three worlds, there is no better personality than Lord Nārāyana.”
