Sri Gurudeva, now, with great enthusiasm, I desire
to hear the benefits of fasting on Ekadasi and the appearance of Ekadasi.
kasmad ekadasi jata tasyah ko va vidhir dvija kada va kriyate kim va phalam kim
va vadasva me ka va pujyatama tatra devata sad-gunarnava akurvatah syat ko dosa
etan me vaktum arhasi “Oh Gurudeva! When did Ekadasi take birth and from whom
did she appear? What are the rules of fasting on the Ekadasi? Please describe
the benefits of following this vow and when it should be followed. Who is the
utmost worshippable presiding deity of Sri Ekadasi? What are the faults in not
following Ekadasi properly? Please bestow your mercy upon me and tell about
these subjects, as you are the only personality able to do so.” Srila
Vyasadeva, upon hearing this enquiry of Jaimini Rsi, became situated in
transcendental bliss. “Oh brahmana sage Jaimini! The results of following
Ekadasi can only be perfectly described by the Supreme Lord, Narayana, because
Sri Narayana is the only personality capable of describing them in full.
