He was deeply into the severe penance when a wild bear came and started biting his feet. After this, the bear dragged him to the dense forest. At that time the king got anxious but he adhered to penance and neither got angry nor did he do any violence, he just prayed to the Lord Vishnu.
After hearing the prayer of the king, Lord Vishnu appeared and he killed the bear with his Chakra and he rescued the king from the hardship. But till then, the bear had eaten the foot of the king and the king was yearning in pain and it was hurtful to king Mandhata. Seeing the king in severe pain, Lord Vishnu said, “My son, go to Mathura and worship my Varaha Avatar Idol and observe Varuthini Ekadashi fast. By doing this your injury will be recovered. Actually, it happened to you because of the sins you committed in your past birth.
