Once Maharishi Dvaipayana Vyas ji came to Hastinapur. Hearing his arrival, all the employees of the state, along with Maharaj Bhishma, respected him and worshiped Vyasji on the golden throne in the palace and worshiped him with Arghya, Padya, Aachman.

When Vyas ji was in good health, Rajrani Gandhari asked Maharishi Vyasji with folded hands, Maharaj, you are a trikalajna, a Tatvdarshi. We request you to tell women such a fast and simple worship, so that our state Lakshmi, happiness, son, grandson, and family remains happy forever.

Hearing this, Vyas ji said that O Goddess, we are mentioning such fasting worship, so that Lakshmi ji will always be stable and provide happiness. That is Shri Mahalakshmi Vrat which is worshiped every year on Ashwin (Kwar) Krishna Paksha Ashtami. Then Rajrani Gandhari said, Mahatman, how does that fast start, by which method worship is done, please explain in detail. Then Maharishi ji said that on the Ashtami day of Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha, taking a vow of fasting in the morning, after taking a bath in a reservoir, after wearing clean clothes, worship Mahalakshmi ji by offering water from fresh Durva, then coming home pure 16 Make a knot of threads and tie a knot every day.

Vyas ji left for his ashram by telling such a law that by observing Mahalakshmi fast with reverence, your Rajalakshmi will always be stable.

Here, according to the time, from the Ashtami of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month, the women of all the royal families and city-women started Shri Mahalakshmi fast, many women started supporting the fast with Gandhari for prestige, some women with mother Kunti. She also started the fast, but Gandhari ji started having some hatred, by the way, after 15 days of fasting, the sixteenth day of Ashwin Krishna Paksha came. From early morning on that day, the towns and women started celebrating and all men and women were present in the palace of Gandhari ji and started making big preparations for making and decorating Mahalakshmi’s pavilion and earthen elephants in various ways.

On this auspicious occasion, Gandhari ji sent servants to call all the eminent women of the city, but Mother Kunti was not called nor sent any information, the melody of the festive instrument started ringing, which caused a wave of happiness in the whole of Hastinapur. Mother Kunti considered this as her insult and celebrated it with great anger and did not make any preparations for the fast. In this, the five Pandavas including Maharaja Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Bhimsen, Nakula Sahadeva appeared, then Arjuna, seeing his mother seriously, prayed, Mother! why are you so sad Can we also know the reason for your misery and can also be helpful in removing misery, you tell.

Then Mother Kunti said – Son! There is no greater sorrow than insulting caste, today in the city of Shri Mahalakshmi Vrat Utsav, Rani Gandhari has honored the women of the whole city, but out of jealousy insulted me and did not invite her to the festival, Parth said- Mother! Can that worship be done only in Duryodhana’s palace, you cannot do it in your own house, then Kunti said – son, I can do it, but that equipment cannot be ready so soon, because Gandhari’s sons made a huge elephant of soil. Prepared and decorated the equipment for worship, that such a legislation will not be made by you and preparations for their celebration are being done from today, then Parth said mother, prepare for worship and send a call to the city, I am calling such an elephant worship. I am that till today the people of Hastinapur have not seen or worshiped. Today, I will call Indra’s elephant ‘Airavat’ from Indraloka, which is revered, and present it in your worship, you should prepare yourself. Here Mata Kunti beat the drums of worship in the whole city and huge preparations started for the worship.

Thereafter, Arjuna wrote a letter to Surapati to send Airavata and tied in a divine arrow and placed on the bow, threw it in the assembly of Devaloka Indra. When Indra took out the letter from the arrow and read it, he wrote to Arjuna in surprise that O Pandukumar! I will send Airavat, but how can he get down from heaven so soon, you write the answer soon. After receiving the letter, Arjuna returned the letter by writing a request to take down the elephant by making a path of arrows in the letter. Indra ordered Matali Charioteer to arrange for the elephant to be completely decorated and landed at Hastinapur.

The mahout decorated Airavat with various accessories, the amber swing of Devlok was thrown, the palanquin of the savarna was tied with gem-studded urns, the gem-studded net was decorated on the forehead, the feet were tied with ghungroo gold gems, on whose glare the human The eyes of the caste could not stop. Here, there was a buzz in the whole city that in the house of Kunti Mata, the living Indra would be worshiped after coming down from heaven on the path of Airavat arrows. A crowd of men and women, children and old people from all over the city started gathering to see Airavat. In Gandhari’s palace, there was a lot of discussion about this matter, the women of the city started running away with the worship-plate and started living in the palace of Mother Kunti, seeing that the whole palace was filled with worshiping women. All the townspeople gathered on the street, road, palace attic to have darshan of Airavat.

Mother Kunti made a new silk cloth after repairing the colorful square to make Airavat stand up. The residents of Hastinapur were standing in a queue with flowers, abir, saffron in their hands in preparation for various welcomes, here on Indra’s order, Airavat slowly descended from heaven on the path made of arrows, whose ornaments sounded to the townspeople.. For the sight of Airavat, men and women started shouting slogans of Jai Jaikar. As soon as it was evening, Airavat came down in the square of the palace of Mother Kunti, then all the men and women welcomed them by offering wreaths, abir, saffron. The idol of Mahalakshmi ji was installed on Airavat by Maharaj Dhaumya Purohit and worshiped by Veda Mantras. The townspeople also welcomed Airavat by welcoming Lakshmi Puja. Then different types of dry fruits were fed to Airavat, Jamuna water was fed from above, then different types of flowers were showered on Airavat.
