Ekádashi:—On the 11th day of Ashádh and Kártik a special fast is observed. People also fast on the 11th day of each month. A man who dies on this auspicious day is supposed to go to heaven.71 Sometimes the Ekádashi falls on two consecutive days; in which case the Smártas observe the first, while the Bhágvats observe the second.72
