Rama Ekadashi Vrat Katha

In ancient times, there was a king named Muchukunda. He was very generous, kind and a holy person. He had great faith in the fast of Ekadashis. He used to fast for each and every Ekadashi and had applied the same rule on the people of his kingdom.

He had a daughter named Chandrabhaga who also had great faith in Rama Ekadashi Vrat. She got married to Shobhan, son of King Chandrasena. When Ekadashi came, Shobhan performed the fast like everyone else. But due to weakness and hunger, he died a premature death. This disheartened Chandrabhaga, King and Queen. On the other hand, Shobhan went to Deva-nagari on Mandarachal mountain from the influence of the fast, where he was served by nymphs (Apsaraye).

One day, King Muchukunda arrived Mandarachal mountain where he saw his son-in-law. He came home and told everything to his daughter. Hearing this, she went to her husband and there both lived happily ever after.
