It is said that one day Narad Muni arrived in his kingdom.

The king hospitalized him and wanted to know from him the purpose of coming there.

Then he told the king the purpose of his coming there and said that one day he went to Yamalog where he saw the king's father.

After which the father of the king gave some message to Narad ji.

The king's father told that due to some reason there was an obstacle in the fasting of Ekadashi.

Because of which he has to spend time with Yamraj in Yamlok.

Narad ji, while telling the message of his father to the king, said that if it is possible from you, then he should fast on Indira Ekadashi for his father.

As a result of which his father will be able to get freedom from Yamalok and get a place in heaven.
