Neither

Sage Vasista in Narada Purana says, “Neither 

  1. Ganga, 
  2. Kasi, 
  3. Kurukshetra, 
  4. Yamuna, 
  5. Reva, 
  6. Vedika, 
  7. Gaya, 
  8. Pushkara and 
  9. Chandrabhaga, none of them are equal to the day of Lord Hari, Ekadasi. Even if one fasts on ekadasi unknown to others, all his sins are burnt at once and he attains the spiritual world.”

1000

  1. Single ekadasi fast earns the same merit as the one who feeds 1000 mendicants every day for 60,000 years.
  2. It gives 10 times merit in comparison to a person giving away in charity 1000 cows to a learned brahmana.

Mahabharata

 “Following eight things do not destroy the ekadasi: 

  1. water, 
  2. roots, 
  3. fruits, 
  4. milk, 
  5. ghee, 
  6. desire of a brahmana, 
  7. the order of a spiritual master and 
  8. medicine do not wane one`s fast.”
