The significance of this Ekadasi fasting was explained to Yudhisthira by God Sri Krishna in the Bhavishyottara Purana. A person who observes Varuthini Ekadashi achieves whatever merit one obtains by performing austerities and penances for ten thousand years.
- Better than giving horses in charity is giving elephants, and
- Better than giving elephants is giving land.
- Better still than giving land is the giving of sesame seeds, and
- Better than that is giving of gold.
- Better than giving gold is giving food grains / giving away a young maiden in marriage to a worthy person / giving cows in charity is equal to giving food grains.
- Better than all these charities is teaching spiritual knowledge to the ignorant.
- Yet all the merits one can attain by performing all these acts of charity are attained by one who fasts on the Varuthini Ekadashi.
