Poverty

On this Ekadashi a faithful person should:

  1. bathe in the water mixed with sesame seeds,
  2. rub sesame seed paste on his body,
  3. offer sesame seeds into the fire in sacrifice,
  4. eat sesame seeds,
  5. give sesame seeds away in charity,
  6. accept charitable gifts of sesame seeds.
Version 

In Shadtila Ekadatchi, if six items like 
  1. shoes, 
  2. basket, 
  3. sugarcane, 
  4. water 
  5. copper, 
  6. cow are donated
These are the six (sat) ways in which sesame seeds (tila) are utilised for spiritual purification on this Ekadashi. Therefore it is called Sat-tila Ekadashi.”

one who properly observes this wonderful Sat-tilaa Ekaadasii with great faith become free from all kinds of poverty -
  1. spiritual, 
  2. mental, 
  3. physical, 
  4. social, and 
  5. intellectual - as well as all kinds of ill luck and evil omens (sakuna).
