Satyanarayan katha "satya hi Narayan hai" ka sandesh deti hai. Paanch adhyayon mein batati hai ki shraddha se kiya gaya vrat sukh deta hai aur vachan tod kar prasad ka niradar karne se kasht aate hain.
Pehla adhyay — Narad ji ka prashn
Ek baar Narad Muni dharti par manushyon ko dukhi dekh kar Vaikunth gaye aur Bhagwan Vishnu se poochha ki Kalyug mein log saral upay se dukh se kaise chhoot sakte hain. Bhagwan ne Satyanarayan vrat bataya — kisi bhi din, shraddha se, parivaar aur mitron ke saath katha sun kar, kele, gehun ka aata (ya suji), ghee, doodh aur shakkar ka prasad (panjiri/sheera) arpit karna.
Doosra adhyay — Garib Brahman aur lakadhaara
Kashi mein ek garib Brahman bhiksha maang kar jeevan chalata tha. Bhagwan swayam vriddh Brahman ke roop mein aaye aur use vrat ki vidhi batayi. Usne shraddha se vrat kiya aur uski daridrata door ho gayi. Uske ghar katha hote dekh ek lakadhaare ne bhi vrat ka sankalp liya; lakdi bechne par use dugna dhan mila aur uska jeevan sukhi ho gaya.
Teesra adhyay — Raja Ulkamukh aur vyapari Sadhu
Raja Ulkamukh aur unki rani nadi kinaare vrat kar rahe the. Vahan se guzarte Sadhu naam ke vyapari ne santaan ke liye vrat karne ka vachan diya. Putri Kalavati ka janm hua, par vyapari baar-baar vrat ko taalta raha. Putri ke vivah ke baad wah damaad ke saath vyapar ko gaya aur vachan bhool gaya. Is bhool ke kaaran dono par chori ka jhootha aarop laga aur unhe kaid ho gayi.
Chautha adhyay — Ghamand aur kshama
Ghar par patni Leelavati aur Kalavati ne vrat kiya to Bhagwan ki kripa se dono chhoot gaye. Lautte samay vyapari ne ek tapasvi (Bhagwan) ke poochhne par ghamand mein jhooth bola ki naav mein sirf bel-patte hain — aur dhan sach mein bel-patte ban gaya. Galti maan kar kshama maangne par dhan wapas mila.
Paanchva adhyay — Prasad ka niradar
Pati ke aane ki khabar sun kar Kalavati prasad chhod kar daud padi, to naav doobti hui dikhi. Usne laut kar shraddha se prasad grahan kiya, aur sab theek ho gaya. Raja Tungadhwaj ne bhi gwalon ka diya prasad thukraya to kasht paaya; baad mein kshama maang kar vrat kiya aur sukh paaya.
