Narration of the Greatness of Harivāsara
Ekādaśī, the Day Sacred to Hari
दैवात्तत्र दिने विष्णोः पार्श्वस्य परिवर्त्तनम् । एकादशीव्रतं विप्र सर्वपापप्रणाशनम्
daivāttatra dine viṣṇoḥ pārśvasya parivarttanam | ekādaśīvrataṃ vipra sarvapāpapraṇāśanam
Dengan ketentuan Ilahi, pada hari itu juga berlakulah peralihan sisi Śrī Viṣṇu. Wahai brāhmaṇa, vrata Ekādaśī ialah pemusnah segala dosa.
Unspecified (context needed to identify the dialogue speaker accurately)
Concept: Ekādaśī-vrata is proclaimed as sarva-pāpa-praṇāśana; sacred time (tithi) aligned with Vishnu’s ordinance grants extraordinary purification, even when the observance arises by chance.
Application: Observe Ekādaśī with intention—fasting, japa, kīrtana, and avoidance of quarrel; if one has lapsed, begin with Ekādaśī as a reset for habits and mind.
