General.

艢颈惫补r膩tr墨 is a holy day. 艢颈惫补r膩tr墨 is observed on the eve of New moon day (Caturda艣墨) falling in the middle of 惭腻驳丑补 and 笔丑腻濒驳耻苍补 (February-March). During this night, penance should be done with fasting. On Caturda艣墨 day penance (vrata) should be observed without sleep and food and 艢颈惫补 worshipped.

Origin.

There is the following Pur膩峁噄c story about the origin of the observance of 艢颈惫补r膩tri as a sacred day. 叠谤补丑尘腻 took his birth in the lotus that originated from the navel of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. 叠谤补丑尘腻 trying to know the source of the lotus saw 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 only. He asked, 'Who are you?' and was answered 'I am 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, your father'. That answer did not satisfy 叠谤补丑尘腻 and a quarrel ensued between him and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 which ended in fighting. 叠谤补丑尘腻 shot the 叠谤补丑尘腻stra, which 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 countered with 笔腻艣耻辫补迟腻蝉迟谤补 and neither of the two was able to withdraw it, which went round the world. While both stood aghast not knowing what to do, 艢颈惫补濒颈峁単补 appeared betwixt the two. Both the ends of the 濒颈峁単补 were invisible. To find the ends 叠谤补丑尘腻 went upwards and 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 downwards. Though they travelled a great distance they could not find out the ends, and, so, returned to their old seats. Immediately 艢颈惫补 appeared betwixt the two and withdrew the p膩艣upat膩stra. It was on Caturda艣墨 day in the month of 惭腻驳丑补 that 艢颈惫补 thus appeared. 艢颈惫补 enjoined that in future Caturda艣墨 night every year should be observed as a holy day, which should be known as 艢颈惫补r膩tri. (Ka峁囜箛a艣艣a 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺).

The greatness of 艢颈惫补r膩tri.

The following story about a sinner, who attained 艢颈惫补loka by observing 艢颈惫补r膩tri is related in 艢颈惫补r膩trim膩h膩tmya.

A son named 厂耻办耻尘腻谤补 was born to the Brahmin manager of the king of 碍耻帽箩补谤补, a kingdom on the banks of river Sindhu. The boy grew up to be an immoral fellow and he married a 颁补峁囜笉腻濒补 girl with whom he lived for seven years. Five daughters and two sons were born to him of the 颁补峁囜笉腻濒补 woman. The father, 厂耻办耻尘腻谤补, himself married the daughters. One day he, in the course of his search for a flower to be worn on the hair of the 颁补峁囜笉腻濒补 woman, came near the 艢颈惫补 temple called 狈腻驳别艣惫补谤补. A 艢颈惫补r膩tri festival was being celebrated there that day and 厂耻办耻尘腻谤补, participated in it. Shortly afterwards 厂耻办耻尘腻谤补 died. Messengers of 碍腻濒补 and 艢颈惫补 arrived to carry off his soul and a battle ensued between the two for the soul. His soul attained 艢颈惫补loka as he had, though by accident, participated in 艢颈惫补r膩tri festival.
