BREAKING THE FAST ON THE NEXT DAY.

Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said, “O Supreme Lord, I have heard the glories of Nirjalā Ekādaśī, which occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Jyeṣṭha. Now I wish to hear about the Ekādaśī that occurs during the dark part of the month of Āṣāḍha [June-July]. Kindly describe it to me in detail, O killer of the Madhu demon.”

The Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, replied, “O king, I shall tell you about the best of all fasting days, the Ekādaśī that comes during the dark part of the month of Āṣāḍha. Famous as Yogini Ekādaśī, it removes all kinds of sinful reactions and awards supreme liberation.

“O best of kings, this Ekādaśī delivers people who are drowning in the vast ocean of material existence and transports them to the shore of the spiritual world. In all the three worlds, it is the chief of all sacred fasting days. I shall reveal this truth to you by narrating a history recounted in the Purāṇas.
