Katha:
Once upon a time, Indra was ruling in heaven. The deities lived happily in that lovely place and drank nectar. Apsarais used to consume them. The whole heaven was adorned with Kalpavrikshas. Then once Indra happily made fifty crore heroines dance. There a Gandharva named Pushpa Danta was singing. A Gandharva named Chitrasen came there with his wife and his daughter Malini.
Malini's son was Pushpavan and Pushpavan's son was Malyavan. A Gandharvi named Pushpavati fell in love with Mallyawan Gandharva. His body was wounded by the sharp arrows of Cupid. She subdued Mallyawan with her beautiful looks, expressions, and sarcasm. To please Indra, Pushpavati and Mallyawan started singing along with the Apsaras. Being fascinated, his mind became wavering. Couldn't sing purely because of this.
The eyes of both of them were tied to each other and both were subjugated by Cupid. Indra came to know what was in the mind of both of them due to the deteriorating speed of taal and raga. Then Indra got angry and cursed both of them considering it an insult. Foolish sinners who disobey my orders! Shame on you You both become vampires. Go to the human world and enjoy the fruits of your actions.
Suffering from the curse of Indra, both of them became very sad by becoming vampires on the Himalayan mountain. Due to the curse, he had no knowledge of smell, taste, and touch. There was a burning sensation in the body, could not sleep. While traveling on that huge mountain, both of them suffering from cold started talking to each other. The vampire, suffering from cold, said to his wife, what grievous sin have we committed, due to which both of us got vampire vaginas.
I consider the vampire vagina to be a harsh and condemned hell. That's why one should not commit any sin. In this way, they started worrying due to grief. By chance Magh Shukla Ekadashi came. Among the dates, the famous date named Shrestha Jaya has arrived. That day both did not eat anything.
Both of them were sad and kept lying near the Peepal tree. The sun set on him lying like that. It was night, and they started shivering from the cold and became like roots, lying hugging each other with body and arms. There was no sleep, no happiness, and no desire for sex. Hey Rajan! In this way, the night of both those suffering from the curse of Indra was spent in great pain, but by fasting on Ekadashi and staying awake in the night, both of them heard the result of the effect of the fast. Hey Nripte! By fasting on Jaya Ekadashi and with the influence of Vishnu, on the day of Dwadashi, both demons were freed from the vagina. Pushpavati and Malyavan became beautiful, affectionate, and adorned with ornaments as before.
Both of them went to Indraloka sat in the plane and bowed before Indra happily. Indra was surprised to see them as before. Indra said that by the effect of which virtue did your vampire vagina goes away? Which god saved you from my curse? Malyavan said - By the grace of Vasudev and the fast of Jaya Ekadashi, we have been freed from the curse. Then Indra said that you became pure by fasting on Ekadashi and worshiping Vishnu. Now roam happily in heaven with Pushpavati. That's why whoever fasts on Jaya Ekadashi with devotion, enjoys in heaven for millions of Kalpas.
