Story of Saphala Ekadashi

In ancient times, King Mahishmat used to rule the Champawati city. He had four sons, among which Lumbhak was very cruel and immoral. He used to spent his father’s money on bad deeds. Getting saddened by his wrong doings, the King exiled him; still Lumbhak’s habits of loot and theft did not end. One time, he did not get food for 3 days. Wandering around, he reached the hut of a hermit. Fortunately, it was Saphala Ekadashi on that day. So, the hermit welcomed him and offered him food. Witnessing this behaviour of the sage changed Lumbhak. He fell to the hermit’s feet and asked for his blessings. The hermit made him his disciple and with time, Lumbhak’s character became good and clean. As per his guidance, Lumbhak started fasting for the Ekadashi. When he changed completely and became a good man, the hermit showed his true form to him. It was his father in the form of the hermit. After this, Lumbhak handled his responsibilities greatly as King and set an example in front of everyone. And he kept on fasting for Saphala Ekadashi till he lived.
