Story of eagle and jackal on Jitiya fast
Women observe Nirjal Jitiya fast. In the Nirjala fast, women worship Jemutavahana Dev in the evening on this day and listen to the story of eagle and jackal according to tradition.
What is the story of Jitiya Vrat
The story is that once the eagle and the jackal decided that they will observe Jitiya fast and both of them started their fast on a fixed date. The eagle resolved to observe the fast with reverence and rules. He kept the Nirjala fast without receiving food and water and kept the fast as per the rules and worshiped. On the other hand, the jackal resolved to keep the fast, but when she could not bear the difficult fast, she broke the fast and had food. On the other hand, at the end of the fast, Dharmaraja appeared and he first observed the conduct of both and then told the fruit accordingly. Dharmaraja said that the eagle will get virtue due to fast as per rules. On the other hand, the jackal will not get any fruit of the fast. Thus the age of the chil’s child was long and his life was happy and rich, while the child of the jackal got a painful life at a young age.
