Lord Krishna told the Pandava son Yudhishthira about the importance of Mohini Ekadashi.. He said that the, story that sage Vasishtha had told to Sriram, he is also telling him that story. Once upon a time King Datuman ruled in the city of Bhadravati. King Diatuman was considered a king who followed great principles. He had 5 sons and his 5th son's eyesight was as sharp as his name. But his life, took a very wrong turn. His eyesight was very poor in his youth. And he gets addicted to drugs,. gambling, eating meat and other anti-social.

activities. It not only defamed him but had a. bad effect on the entire state. The king, tried hard to guide his son,, but all in vain. Finally, King Diyatuman, disheartened, exiled his son from the kingdom., Drashitbuddhi wandered and, reached a forest, where he killed birds and animals and, lived on their flesh. But one day, he met Maharishi Kondinya on the, bank of a river.. Maharishi, saw his bad condition and. explained the importance of Mohini Ekadashi vows. He explains how this vow can purify a person's soul by washing away his sins. After listening to Maharishi Drashtibuddhi, he , observed the vow of Mohini Ekadashi with full faith. Due to the effect of the vow, he regains his insight. and repents of his actions. He. decided to turn his life in the right direction again. On Ekadashi, he worshiped Lord Vishnu and sought his forgiveness for his mistake. Seeing his true faith and repentance, Lord Vishnu heard his prayer. and absolved him of his sins.
