In answer to a question about Saphala Ekadasi,by Maharaja Yudhishthira,the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna replied," O best of the Bharata Dynasty,just as Sesa is best among the snakes;Garuda is best among the birds;the horse sacrifice is best among the sacrifice;the Ganges is best among the rivers;Lord Visnu is best among the demigodsand the brahmanas are bestamong the human beings,similarly among all the vowsthe day Ekadasi is the best.O best of kings,anyone who observes Ekadasiis very dear to Me.The amount of piety one accumulatesby undergoing austeritiesfor five thousand years,is achieved simply by observing Ekadasi."
