Ten Thousand Years / How

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.
  1. Better than giving horses in charity is giving elephants, and 
  2. Better than giving elephants is giving land. 
  3. Better still than giving land is the giving of sesame seeds, and 
  4. Better than that is giving of gold. 
  5. 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.
  6. Better than all these charities is teaching spiritual knowledge to the ignorant. 
  7. Yet all the merits one can attain by performing all these acts of charity are attained by one who fasts on the Varuthini Ekadashi.
