Legend/Katha Pertaining to Rama Ekadashi
It is said about Rama Ekadashi that there used to be a king in ancient times whose name was Muchukunda. He was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. He had a daughter named Chandrabhaga. When Chandrabhaga attained the age of getting married, her father arranged her marriage with Shobhan, the son of Chandrasena.
Shobhan was very weak. Chandrabhaga believed in Ekadashi fasts immeasurably and always observed the same. Once, Shobhan also observed the fast on the advice of his wife, had nothing and died. Chandrabhaga immersed the dead body of her husband and started observing the fast of Rama Ekadashi.
Owing to the influence of the fast, Shobhan was taken out from the river and he got his breath again. After this, he became the king of a state in Mandarachal Parvat. Meantime, the Brahmin of Mukund city went to meet Shobhan. Then, Sobhan said that he was unable to meet his wife due to the instability in the city.
When Chandrabhaga came to know about this, she prayed to Lord Vishnu during the fast of Ekadashi and went to meet his husband in the city. After reaching the city, she sat on the Singhasan. Exactly after sitting on Singhasan, the city turned stable. It is believed that their lives turned blissful forever owing to the effects of Rama Ekadashi Vrat.
