Historical Legend
Onetime Arjun urged Lord Shri Krishna to tell the story and importance of Varuthini Ekadashi Vrat, which is as follows:
During ancient times, there was a king named Mandhata who ruled on the banks of river Narmada. He was a very charitable and priestly king. One time when he was meditating in a forest, a wild bear came and started chewing his feet. The bear dragged him to the forest. This made the King anxious, but while abiding the sacred rules of tapasya dharm, he did not get angry and prayed to Lord Vishnu.
Answering his prayers, Lord Vishnu came and killed the bear with his Chakra. But till then, the bear has chewed King’s one leg, which made King Mandhata very upset. Seeing this, Lord Vishnu said - When you’ll go back to Mathura, worship my idol in Varaha Avatar and do the Varuthini Ekadashi Vrat. With its effect, the leg that has been eaten by the bear will get healed. This damage to your leg is the result of your crimes in the past life. With Lord Vishnu’s guidance, the king fasted on Varuthini Ekadashi devotedly and his leg became healthy again.
