ANANTA CHATURDASHI VRATA - STORY
When Pandava kings were banished for 12 years from their kingdom, and
were in the jungle, Lord Krishna visits them. Yudhishtira, the eldest
among them asks Lord Krishna an easy way out of all their difficulties.
Lord Krishna says 'yes there is a great vrata which destroys all your
sins, removes all your difficulties, promotes your material prosperity
and will give you eventually moksha(liberation). The vrata is called
Ananata Padmanabha vrata. This vrita needs to be done a day prior to
pournami(bhadrapada shukla chaturdashi) of the month of bhadrapada. In
respect of  protecting devotees this vrata is reputed to be the foremost.

Dharmaraja(yudhishtira)  wants to know now who this ananta represents;
whether he is aadishesha or taxaka, or brahma. Lord Krishna replies
that  ananta is none other than He Himself; ananta is the endless time.
you can call him Hari, Vishnu, Krishna, shiva, Surya, Adishesha or
Brahma. Having resided in the hearts of all creatures, and assuming
different avataar for protecting the good and punishing the wicked,
I am that parmeshwar himself. In me reside all the 14 lokas, 14 indras,
12 adityas, 11 rudras, 8 vasus, 7 rishis,the earth and the sky, rivers
and mountains. Saying thus the Lord displays his vishwarupa to Dharmaraja.
Overwhelmed at seing the Lord's vishwaswaroopa, dharmaraja wants to know
more details of the vrata; how to perform the vrata, what benefits one
gets and who all have done this vrata earlier. The Lord now pleased
narrates him the story of this vrata which took place in kritayuga.

There was a brahmin called Sumanta born in vasishta gotra and who had
married Bhrigu's daughter Dheeksha. They had a charming daughter called
Susheela. When Susheela was a young girl, she lost her mother. Her
father married a woman called karkashe who was a hard hearted,
quarrelsome, termagant. She made the life of Suheela miserable. In spite
of  these difficulties at home, Susheela grew to be a fine lady ready to
be married. When Sumanta was worried over her marriage, there came to
his house looking for a bride, a rishi called Kaundinya. Sumanta gives
his daughter to Kaundiya rishi in marriage. With his wife being
uncooperative,  he could give to his son in law as a marriage gift a
little of fried wheat flour.

Kaundinya accompanied by his wife Susheela travels and by afternoon
reaches the bank of a river. That day being Bhadrapada shukla
chaturdashi many brahmins and their wives who were wearing red dress,
were worshipping Ananta Padmanabha. Curious Susheela approaches these
ladies and asks them for details of the vrata. They say that the vrata
is called Ananata vrata and the fruits are infinite(ananta); when
Sushila showed interest to do the vrata, they tell Susheela the details
as follows :

The vrata is to be performed on Bhadrapada shukla chaturdashi. Having
taken bath and wearing a clean dress, decorate the altar with devotion.
Keep akalasha on the south of the altar in which you invite the Lord.
Keep 7 darbhas tied to each other to represent Ananta. Keep a red thread
with 14 knots on the altar. Worship lord with 14 variety of flowers
and 14 variety of leaves. The prasad for this vrata is Atiras. Make
28 of them and serve them to brahmanas. Those attendning should be
given food and respect. Do this vrata for 14 years each year replacing
the thread that was worn in the earlier year. 15th year do the
udyapana(conclusion with donation of gifts to brahmanas).

Having listened to the narration with attention, faith and devotion,
Susheela performed the puja with those gathered there, distributed half
of the fried wheat flour to brahmanas, wore the red thread and with the
thoughts of Ananta Padmanabha  accompnied her husband to his ashram.
Because of the power of Anantavrata, Kaundinya's ashram acquired beauty
and wealth. All his relatives were eagerly waiting to do the Anantavrata.
Susheela had acquired an aura of brilliance.

One day Kaundinya sees the red thread on Susheela's hand and asks for an
explanation; In spite of her telling him the truth, in a fit of anger and
jealousy, Kaundinya forcibly removes the thread and throws in the fire.
Sushila picks up the half burnt thread and immerses it in milk. His 
behaviour proved to worst ; pretty soon all his wealth was
lost; his relatives desert him; his cattle died and he now knows that
this was on account of his rudeness to Ananta Padmanabha swami in the
form of red thread.

Kaundinya leaves his house in search of Anantha padmanabha. Like
ademented person enters the jungle and asks a mango tree full of
mangoes, have you seen Ananta Padmanabha swami ? He goes further and
asks a cow along with its calf the same question. A little further he
meets a bullock to who he poses this question. His travel brings him
near two lakes which were overflowing to whom he puts the same question.
The next  in line were a donkey and an elephant who could not answer his
question. By now he was tired and heartbroken. He falls down there. Lord
in His infinite compassion comes there in the form an old brahman,
revives him and takes him to a palace where he shows him his four armed
form along with Mahalakshmi. Kaundinya praises the Lord in many stotras.
The Lord please gives him three boons viz., removal of poverty, ability
to follow dharma, mukti saubhagya.

Now Kaundinya asks the Lord about the strange sights he saw on the way
to Him. The Lord explains. The man who was full of knowledge but did not
teach his disciples and was useless became the mango tree. Although
wealthy one who never ate himsef and did not give to others as became
this cow. The king who gave non-productive lands as gifts is born now as
a bullock. The two lakes which overflow are dharma and adharma. One who
neglected his ancestors' dharma has become an elephant. The donkey
represents the person who condemned others and lived through unrighteous
methods. Do this vrata for 14 years and I shall grant you a permanant
place in the heavens.

Kaundinya returned home and did the puja with shraddha and bhakti. He
lived a life of wealth and happiness. In the bygone days, sages like
Agastya, kings like Janaka, Sagara, Dilipa, Harischandra have done this
vrata. You to do this vrata and all your troubles will be over.
Listening to this the exiled king Dharmaraja  also performed this vrita.
One who hears this story or narrates it will be rid of all woes and
difficulties and will acquire all kinds of wealth.
