After which everyone reaches him and worships him with folded hands. The deities tell Lord Vishnu that the demons have captured the heavenly world by defeating us, and now all the deities are running hither and thither. After this, Vishnu Ji fought with the demon Mur at the request of all the gods. Vishnu ji got tired because of the war, after which he goes to rest in a cave. When he was resting, the demon Mur reaches there and secretly tries to attack Vishnu. Only then a goddess appears there and kills the demon Mur. When God wakes up after resting, he is told about the whole incident. Pleased with this, he asks the goddess to ask for a groom. Then the goddess says that whoever fasts on this date, their sins will be destroyed and they will be well. Then Lord Vishnu named the goddess as Ekadashi, which is known as Utpan Ekadashi.
