Jivitputrika Vrat 2021: History
As
per the legend, a king named Jimutavahana was not happy with worldly pleasures
so, he gave his kingdom and its responsibilities to his brother, and went into
the forest.
While
roaming in the forest, he came across an old lady who was crying bitterly. When
he asked the lady, she told him that she belongs to the Nagvansh family, and
there is a ritual to offer a snake every day to Pakshiraj Garuda as his feast.
And today, it's her son's chance to be sacrificed.
On
listening to her ordeal, Jimutavahana
promised the lady to protect his son from Pakshiraj. He covered himself in a
red cloth and offered himself to Pakshiraj Garuda. When Garuda was about to
eat, he was surprised to see that the boy is fearless and has no tears in his
eyes. Seeing this, he asked the boy about his real identity, to which,
Jimutavahana confessed.
Pleased by his bravery, Pakshiraj Garuda set him
free and also promised to not make any sacrifices. Thus, since then, mothers
have started celebrating the day by observing the fast for the long life of
their children.
