What is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi Vrat Katha?

Pausha Putrada Ekadashi Vrat can be concluded only after listening to the Vrat Katha. Following is the Pausha Putrada Ekadashi story:

As per the legend, the king of Bhadravati named Suketu Man and his queen Habiya were not happy and remain depressed as they did not have any boy child. They were too worried thinking about the Shradh rituals as who would perform the Shradh rituals after their death to make their souls rest in peace. In such frustration, the King left his kingdom and all his luxuries and went to the dense forests. After facing many hardships and wandering for so many days, on the day of Paush Ekadashi, he reached the ashram of few sages residing on the bank of Mansarovar. The sages after knowing about the King, suggested him, to observe a Pausha Ekadashi fast to get blessed with a son. By following the advice of the learned sages, Suketu Man went back to the Kingdom and along with his queen observed a strict fast of Pausha Ekadashi. Soon, both of them were blessed with a male child by the divine blessings and grace of Lord Vishnu.
