Besides providing the Santaan Sukh, Paush Putrda Ekadashi also provides other benefits like
- Get rid of sins committed in past and attain moksha
- Seek well being of your progeny
- Achieve a sharp intelligence
- Attain wealth and prosperity
Shri Krishna explains the glories of observing the Ekadashi Vratam in Narada Purana by saying :
अश्वमेधसहस्राणिराजसूयशतानिच।
एकादश्युपवासस्यकलांनार्हन्तिशोडशीम्।।
Ashvamedha Sahasrani Rajasuya Shathanicha |
Ekadashi upavasasya kalanahithni shodashim ||
Meaning: Not even thousand Ashvamedha Yagas or hundred Raja Suya Yagas would match the fast on an Ekadashi Day.
