Continuing with the tales of the manifestation of various deities, sage Mahatapa said- “In the process of doing his creation, lord Brahma bellowed as a result of which Kubera manifested himself. Lord Brahma assigned Kubera the lordship of all the wealth and prosperity. It wasm ‘ekadashi’ when Kubera had manifested himself, so this particular day has deep association with his worship. One who observes a fast on the auspicious day of ekadashi never lives in poverty.”
