Ye katha batati hai ki Ekadashi vrat kaise shuru hua aur use sab vraton mein shreshth kyon maana jaata hai (Padma Puran parampara).
Mur daitya ka atyachar
Satyug mein Mur naam ka shaktishaali daitya tha jisne devtaon ko swarg se nikaal diya. Devta Bhagwan Vishnu ki sharan mein gaye. Bhagwan ne bahut samay tak Mur se yuddh kiya aur thak kar Badrikashram ki Himvati gufa mein vishraam karne lage.
Ekadashi Devi ka prakat hona
Mur unhe sota dekh kar maarne aaya. Usi samay Bhagwan ke shareer se ek tejasvi kanya prakat hui, jisne yuddh karke Mur ka vadh kar diya. Jaagne par Bhagwan prasann hue aur bole — "Tum Ekadashi tithi ko prakat hui ho, isliye tumhara naam Ekadashi hoga. Jo is din vrat rakhega, uske paap nasht honge aur use mera dham milega."
Vrat ka mahatva
Tab se Ekadashi ko anna (vishesh roop se chawal) tyaag kar vrat, Vishnu naam-jap aur raat jaagran ki parampara chali. Agle din (Dwadashi) shubh samay mein vrat kholna (paaran) zaroori maana jaata hai.
Kab padhein / sunein
Har mahine ki dono Ekadashi — vishesh roop se Margashirsha Krishna Ekadashi (Utpanna), jab Ekadashi Devi prakat hui thin.

Kathaayein kshetra aur parampara ke anusaar thodi alag ho sakti hain. Vrat ke niyam apne parivaar ki parampara ya purohit ji se bhi poochh lein.
