The great rishi replied Oh son, listen with great attention, for byhearing me your life will change, and you will become free of all yourremaining sins. In the light fortnight of this very month, Vaisakha(April-May) there occurs the sacre
d Mohinii Ekadasi. If you follow my advice and faithfully observe a fast on this Ekadasi, which is sodear to Lord Hari, you will be freed from all the sinful reactions ofmany, many births.Hearing these words with great joy, Dhrishthabuddhi promised toobserve a fast on Mohinii Ekadasi according to the sage'sinstructions and direction. Vasishtaji says, Oh best of kings, OhRamachandra Bhagawan, by fasting completely on Mohinii Ekadasi
,the once sinful Dhrishthabuddhi, the prodigal son of the merchantDhanapala, became sinless. Afterwards he achieved a beautifultranscendental form and, free at last of all obstacles, rode upon thecarrier of Lord Vishnu, Garuda
, to the Supreme abode of the Lord.Oh Ramachandra, the fast day of Mohinii Ekadasi removes thedarkest illusory attachments to material existence. There is thus nobetter fast day in all the three worlds than this.And He who hears and studies the glories of Mohinii Ekadasiachieves the merit of giving away one thousand cows in charity.Thus ends the narration of the glories of Vaisakha-shukla Ekadasi, orMohinii Ekadasi, from the Kurma Purana.
