Story - Once upon a time there was a moneylender in one city. There was no shortage of money in his house but he was very unhappy due to no children. In order to have children, he kept a fast on every Monday and went to the Shiva temple with full devotion and worshiped Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati. Seeing her devotion, Mother Parvati was pleased and requested Lord Shiva to fulfill the wishes of the moneylender. On the request of Parvati ji, Lord Shiva said that 'O Parvati, every creature in this world gets the fruits of her deeds and whose fate is bound to have to be suffered' but Parvati ji saw her devotion to the moneylender to fulfill her wishes Expressed desire. On the request of Mata Parvati, Shivji gave a boon to the money lender but he told that this child will live only for 12 years. The moneylender was listening to the conversation of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, so she was neither happy nor sad. He continued to worship Shiva as before. After some time the moneylender's wife gave birth to a son. When that boy was eleven years old, he was sent to Kashi to study.
The moneylender called the maternal uncle of the son and gave him a lot of money and said that you take this child to attain Kashi Vidya. On the way you go to perform yagya and give food and dakshina to the Brahmins. Both uncles and nephews would perform yajna in the same way and give donations and Dakshina to Brahmins. During this night, there was a city where the king of the city was married to a girl, but the prince whom he was going to marry was Kana with one eye. The prince's father thought to hide the fact that his son was a kana, why did he make the son of the moneylender a bride and marry the princess. After marriage, I will give it away and will take the princess to her city. The boy was married to the princess wearing the groom's clothes.
The moneylender's son was honest. She did not find this right, so she took the opportunity and wrote on the princess's dupatta that 'You are married to me, but the prince with whom you will be sent is Kana with one eye. I am going to read Kashi. When the princess read the words written on the sardine, she told her parents about this. The king did not leave his daughter, then the procession went back. On the other hand, the moneylender's boy and his maternal uncle reached Kashi and went there and performed a yagna. The day the boy was 12 years old, the yajna was also organized on that day, the boy told his maternal uncle that my health is not right. Mama said that you go inside and relax. According to Shiva's boon, the child's life went out in a while. Seeing the dead nephew, his maternal uncle started mourning. Incidentally at the same time, Shiva and Mata Parvati were going from there.
Parvati Mata said to Bholenath- Swami, I am not able to bear the cries of this, you must remove this person's suffering. When Shivji approached the dead boy, he said that this is the son of the same moneylender, whom I had given the boon of 12 years of age, now its age is over, but Parvati, the mother of the mother, said that you, Mahadev Please give more age to this child, otherwise his parents will also die yearning in isolation. On the request of Mata Parvati again, Lord Shiva gave the boy a boon to be alive. By the grace of Shiva, that boy became alive. After completing his education, the boy went back to his city with his maternal uncle. Both of them walked to the same city where they were married.
He also performed a yagna in that city. The boy's father-in-law recognized him and took him to the palace and took care of him and sent his daughter off. Here, the moneylender and his wife were hungry and thirsty waiting for their son. He pledged that if he got the news of his son's death, he too would give up his life, but he was very happy to get the news that his son was alive. The same night Lord Shiva came in the dream of a moneylender and said - O superior, I have given a long life to your son, happy with your Monday fast and listening to the fast. Similarly, anyone who observes a fast on Monday or listens to and recites the story, all his sufferings are removed and all wishes are fulfilled.
