उत्पन्न एकादशी कथा
Utpanna Ekadashi Katha

प्राचीन युद्ध | Ancient Battle

हिंदी: प्राचीन काल में मुर नामक एक महादैत्य था। वह अत्यंत शक्तिशाली और क्रूर था। उसने देवताओं को परेशान करना शुरू कर दिया और स्वर्गलोक पर आक्रमण किया। देवता भयभीत होकर भगवान विष्णु के पास गए और रक्षा की प्रार्थना की। भगवान विष्णु ने देवताओं को आश्वासन दिया और मुर दैत्य से युद्ध करने का निश्चय किया।

English: In ancient times, there was a great demon named Mur. He was extremely powerful and cruel. He began troubling the gods and attacked heaven. The gods, frightened, went to Lord Vishnu and prayed for protection. Lord Vishnu assured the gods and decided to fight the demon Mur.

कठिन युद्ध | Difficult Battle

हिंदी: भगवान विष्णु और मुर दैत्य के बीच भयानक युद्ध हुआ। यह युद्ध हजारों वर्षों तक चला। मुर दैत्य की शक्ति अत्यधिक थी, इसलिए भगवान विष्णु भी थक गए। युद्ध के दौरान भगवान विष्णु को आराम की आवश्यकता हुई। वे बद्रिकाश्रम की एक गुफा में जाकर योग निद्रा में लीन हो गए।

English: A terrible battle took place between Lord Vishnu and the demon Mur. This battle continued for thousands of years. The demon Mur's power was excessive, so Lord Vishnu also became tired. During the battle, Lord Vishnu needed rest. He went to a cave in Badrikashram and entered yogic sleep.

एकादशी का जन्म | Birth of Ekadashi

हिंदी: जब भगवान विष्णु योग निद्रा में थे, तब मुर दैत्य ने उन पर आक्रमण करने का निश्चय किया। वह गुफा में पहुंचा और भगवान को सोता देखकर उन्हें मारने के लिए आगे बढ़ा। उसी समय भगवान विष्णु के शरीर से एक अत्यंत सुंदर और तेजस्वी कन्या प्रकट हुई। यह कन्या भगवान की शक्ति का रूप थी।

English: When Lord Vishnu was in yogic sleep, the demon Mur decided to attack him. He reached the cave and seeing the Lord sleeping, moved forward to kill him. At that very moment, an extremely beautiful and radiant maiden appeared from Lord Vishnu's body. This maiden was the form of the Lord's power.

मुर दैत्य का वध | Slaying of Demon Mur

हिंदी: इस दिव्य कन्या ने मुर दैत्य से युद्ध किया और उसका वध कर दिया। जब भगवान विष्णु की निद्रा टूटी तो उन्होंने देखा कि मुर दैत्य मारा जा चुका है। भगवान अत्यंत प्रसन्न हुए और उस कन्या से पूछा कि तुम कौन हो। कन्या ने कहा, "प्रभु! मैं आपकी शक्ति हूं। आपकी रक्षा के लिए मैंने इस दैत्य का वध किया है।"

English: This divine maiden fought with the demon Mur and killed him. When Lord Vishnu's sleep broke, he saw that the demon Mur had been killed. The Lord was extremely pleased and asked the maiden who she was. The maiden said, "Lord! I am your power. To protect you, I have killed this demon."

एकादशी नाम और वरदान | Ekadashi Name and Boon

हिंदी: भगवान विष्णु ने उस कन्या को 'एकादशी' नाम दिया क्योंकि वह एकादशी तिथि को प्रकट हुई थी। भगवान ने कहा, "हे एकादशी! तुमने मेरी रक्षा की है, इसलिए मैं तुम्हें वरदान देता हूं। जो भी व्यक्ति एकादशी के दिन व्रत रखेगा और तुम्हारी पूजा करेगा, उसके सभी पाप नष्ट हो जाएंगे और वह मोक्ष प्राप्त करेगा।"

English: Lord Vishnu gave that maiden the name 'Ekadashi' because she appeared on the Ekadashi date. The Lord said, "O Ekadashi! You have protected me, therefore I give you a boon. Whoever observes a fast on Ekadashi day and worships you, all their sins will be destroyed and they will attain liberation."

एकादशी का महत्व | Importance of Ekadashi

हिंदी: तभी से एकादशी व्रत का महत्व स्थापित हुआ। यह प्रथम एकादशी थी, इसलिए इसे 'उत्पन्न एकादशी' कहा जाता है। भगवान विष्णु ने घोषणा की कि जो भी व्यक्ति श्रद्धा और भक्ति से एकादशी व्रत रखेगा, उसे मेरी कृपा प्राप्त होगी। एकादशी देवी सभी भक्तों की रक्षा करेंगी और उनके कष्टों का नाश करेंगी।

English: From then on, the importance of Ekadashi fast was established. This was the first Ekadashi, hence it is called 'Utpanna Ekadashi'. Lord Vishnu declared that whoever observes Ekadashi fast with devotion and faith will receive my grace. Goddess Ekadashi will protect all devotees and destroy their sufferings.
