根据北印度历,Papamocani Ekadasi 落在 Chaitra 月的 Krishna Paksha(月亏相)的第 11 天。然而,在南印度历法中,这个 Ekadasi 出现在吠陀的 Phalgun 月。在英文日历中,这对应于 3 月至 4 月的月份。 Papamocani Ekadasi 是吠陀历中 24 Ekadasi 的最后一个 Ekadasi 纪念活动。它介于 Holika Dahan 和 Chaitra Navratri 的庆祝活动之间。

帕帕莫卡尼·埃卡达西的荣耀
来自 Bhavisyottara Purana
Papamocani Ekadasi 的崇高荣耀在 Bhavisyottara Purana 中,在圣奎师那和 Maharaja Yudhisthira 之间的对话中得到了体现。
Pandavas 中最年长的 Yudhisthira 询问主奎师那。 “主啊,您亲切地讲述了 Amalaki Ekadasi 的荣耀。现在请向我描述在 Chaitra 月(3 月 / 4 月)的残月期间发生的 Ekadasi 的详细情况,这个 Ekadasi 叫什么,观察它的程序是什么?”
Lord Krsna replied: “O unrivalled King, this Ekadasi is known as Papamocani, please listen carefully as I describe its glories unto you. In the dim recesses of the misty past this Ekadasi was discussed between the Sage Lomasa and King Mandata. This Papamocani Ekadasi falls during the waning Moon in the month of Chaitra. By carefully observing this Ekadasi day all one’s sinful reactions will be nullified, one need never fear taking birth as a ghost; it can also award eight kinds of mystic perfection.
“伟大的圣人洛玛萨对曼陀多国王说:'在古代,半神人的司库库维拉拥有一个名为Caitraratha的天堂森林。那里的天气总是宜人,呈现出永恒的春天气息。许多天界女孩,如干达婆和紧那拉斯,都会来到那片天界森林,在其幸福的环境中享受运动。因陀罗国王和许多其他半神也会来这里享受各种各样的交流。
'还有一位名叫梅达维的圣人住在森林里。他是湿婆的坚定信徒,并致力于执行伟大的苦行。 Apsaras,或天堂舞女试图以各种方式打扰圣人。在所有飞天中,有一个是最著名和最著名的。她的名字叫 Manju Ghosh,她制定了一个狡猾的计划来迷惑这位睿智的圣人。她在圣人的修行处附近建了一座房子,并开始用维娜(Vina)演奏迷人的旋律,开始甜美地歌唱。湿婆神的死敌丘比特目睹了曼珠戈什的健康美丽,她用檀香浆、芬芳的花环和神圣的装饰品装饰,试图通过报复湿婆神来征服圣人。丘比特曾经被湿婆勋爵烧成灰烬,因此记住之前的侮辱密谋羞辱湿婆的奉献者。
'他进入了圣人梅达维的身体,就在曼朱·戈什走近他的时候,他正在玩她的维娜酒,甜美地唱歌,从她颤抖的眼睛里投下诱人的箭矢。圣人梅达维因欲望而陶醉,与美丽的飞天一起享受了多年。他全神贯注地享受这种享受,他失去了所有的时间感,甚至失去了区分白天和黑夜的能力。
“从此以后,当曼朱·戈什厌倦了圣人梅达维时,她决定回到自己的住处。她对梅达维说:“伟大的圣者,请允许我回到我在天上星球的家。”
‘The sage replied: “O beauty incarnate, you have only arrived here in the evening, at least stay until morning and then depart.” Upon hearing these words Manju Ghosh became frightened and stayed with Medhavi for a few more years. In this way although she stayed with the sage for fifty-seven years, nine months and three days, it still only appeared to the sage to be half a night. Manju Ghosh asked again for permission to leave but the sage replied, “O attractive one, this is only morning, please wait until I have completed my morning rituals.” The beautiful Apsara then smiled and said, “O great sage, how long will your rituals take? Have you still not finished yet? You have been enjoying with me for many years, please consider the actual value of time.”
On hearing these words, the sage came to his senses and realized the length of time that had passed. “Alas, O beautiful lady, I have simply wasted fifty-seven years of my valuable time. You have ruined my life, spoiled all of my austerities and condemned me to madness!” The eyes of the sage Medhavi filled with tears and his body convulsed as he cried. Raising his head, his eyes turned red with anger, and in a fearsome voice he cursed Manju Ghosh with the following words, “O evil one, you have behaved with me exactly like a witch. Therefore you will immediately become a witch, O sinful unchaste Lady! Shame on you.”
'被圣人诅咒后,曼珠戈什谦逊地回答:'最好的婆罗门!请收回你沉重的诅咒,我在你的陪伴下多年,带给你超乎想象的快乐!当然,出于这个原因,你可以原谅我。请对我好一点。”
’圣人回答说:‘善哉,我现在怎么办?你毁了我的紧缩财富。不过,我会给你一个机会,让你自己摆脱这个诅咒。在 Chaitra 月的残月期间落下的 Ekadasi 被称为 Papamocani。如果你非常严格地遵守这个 Ekadasi,你所有的罪恶反应都会被摧毁,你将摆脱这个致命的诅咒。”
“说完这些话,梅达维回到了他父亲Cyavana Rsi的修行处。 Cyavana Rsi 一看到他可怜的儿子,就非常失望。他说:“唉,唉,我的儿子,哦,你做了什么?你已经毁了,不应该这样宠着自己。”
’年轻的圣者梅达维回答说:‘父亲啊,我在美丽的仙女身边犯下了大罪,请教我如何从罪恶的反应中解脱出来。
'Cyavana Rsi 回答说:“哦,我的儿子,有一个 Ekadasi 落在 Chaitra 月的残月上。这个 Ekadasi 会摧毁你所有的罪恶反应。所以,你应该追随这个埃卡达斯,但你应该知道,我对你最失望!”
'此后,圣者梅达维观察了帕帕莫卡尼·埃卡达西,并重新获得了他作为一个享有盛誉的圣者的崇高地位。与此同时,Manju Ghosh 仔细观察了 Papamocani Ekadasi 并从她被诅咒的形式中解脱出来,恢复了她的身体吸引力并回到了天堂阶层。
“在将这个故事讲述给 Mandata 国王之后,圣人 Lomasa 总结如下:‘我亲爱的国王,任何观察到这个 Ekadasi 的人都会消除他所有的罪恶反应。
圣奎师那总结道:“尤迪施提拉国王啊,任何阅读或听说过 Papamocani ekadasi 的人都获得了与捐赠一千头牛作慈善事业相同的功德,并且他还消除了他可能因杀死婆罗门而招致的罪恶反应,杀戮通过堕胎、饮酒或与上师的妻子发生性关系而形成的胚胎。这就是正确遵守 Papamocani Ekadasi 这个神圣日子的不可估量的好处,这对我来说是如此珍贵,如此功德。”
至此结束了从 Bhavisyottara Purana 中对 Papamocani Ekadasi 荣耀的叙述。
