Shravana Putrada Ekadashi Vrat Katha

According to Shri Padma Purana in Dwapara Yuga, the king of Mahishmati Puri named Mahijeet was a peaceful and religious person, but deprived of a son. His well-wishers told this to Mahamuni Lomesh, who then told that the King was a cruel and penniless merchant (Vaishya) in his past life. On the same Ekadashi day at noon, he became very thirsty and reached a pond where a cow, thirsty due to scorching heat, was drinking water. He stopped her and himself drank the water. This act by the king was not right according to the religion.

Because of his good deeds in the past life he became a king in this life, but because of that one sin he is still childless. Then, Mahamuni told that if all his well-wishers fasted for Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, following whole process correctly, and offer its beneficence to the king, then he will surely get blessed with a child. Thus, as per his instructions, the King also performed this fast along with his people, and as a result, his queen gave birth to a glorious son. Since then, this Ekadashi has been called Shravana Putrada Ekadashi.
