The story (Legend) about Putrada Ekadashi -
In the beginning of the Dwapur Yug, Mahijit, the king of Mahishmati had no child. So the king and the people of his kingdom were very much worried. One day the king went to the forest in search of such a sage who could suggest him (the king) some remedy or the other for getting a son. While wandering in the forest, one day the king Mahijit came across a great sage whose name was Lomash. Having known the reason of the king's wandering in the forest, Lomash Rishi advised him to observe the fast on Shravan Shukla Ekadashi.
The king acted upon the advice of the Rishi and observed the fast. As a result, in due course of time he got a son by the grace of Lord Vishnu.
