Vrat Story

Sushila, the wife of a virtuous Brahmin in Vidarbha, was a pious lady. The Brahmin had a son and a daughter. The virtuous Brahmin married off the daughter, but after a few years, she was widowed. The grieving Brahmin couple, along with their daughters, started living in huts on the banks of the Ganges.

One day the widow was sleeping when her body was filled with insects. The mother explained this to her husband and asked the reason behind it. The Brahmin then informed through samadhi that the girl was a Brahmin in her previous life. She had touched the utensil during menstruation. Even in her present birth, she did not observe the fast of Rishi Panchami.  

According to the scriptures, the menstruating woman is as impure as Chandalini on the first day, Brahmaghatini on the second day, and Dhobin on the third day. She is pure after taking a bath on the fourth day. If she observes Rishi Panchami Vrat with a pure heart by observing a fast, all her sorrows will end. That's what the widowed girl did. Due to the effect of fasting, she was freed from all her sufferings. In the next life, she enjoyed Akshaya pleasures, including atal saubhagya.
