Importance of Paap Mochini Ekadashi

According to a story, Lord Vishnu explained the importance of Paap Mochini Ekadashi to Arjun. He said that King Mandhata asked Saint Lomesh about a way to be free from all his sins. Saint Lomesh told a story to Kind Mandhata. He said that there was a forest named Chaitra Rath. In the forest, Saint Chyavan’s son, Medhavi was offering austerities.

Once, an Apsara named Manjaghosha saw Medhavi in the forest. She was attracted to him instantly. She tried to attract the saint towards herself. Lord Kamdeva was passing by and saw Manjaghosha. Lord Kamdeva wanted to help Manjaghosha. She was successful and Saint Medhavi’s austerities were disrupted.

Saint Medhavi was distracted and started making love with Manjaghosha. After a lot of years, he realized that his austerities were disrupted and he wanted to repent. He was very angry with Manjaghosha and cursed her to be a demon. She was very sad and asked for the saint’s forgiveness. She wanted the saint to forgive her.

Saint Medhavi calmed down and asked her to keep a fast on the Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha during Chaitra month. Even Saint Medhavi kept this fast. All their sins were eliminated because of this fast. Both of them went to heaven.
