Story of Dasha Mata Vrat
According to the legend, in ancient times, kings Nala and Damayanti ruled. He had two sons. The people lived very happy in his kingdom. Once upon a time, it was Holi Dasha. A Brahmin lady came to the state palace and asked the queen to tie the thread. Then the queen's maid interrupted and said, on this day all the married women worship and fast on Dasha Mata. She wears this thread around her neck so that there is happiness and prosperity in the house.
Hearing this, the queen took the string from the Brahmin and put it around her neck as per the ritual. After some time, when the king showed the thread around the neck of his queen Damayanti, the king asked why are you wearing this thread around your neck even after having so much gold, silver and diamond jewels. Before the queen could say anything, King Nala took out the thread from the queen's neck and threw it on the ground. Then the queen picked up the thread from the ground and told the king that this thread is Dasha Mata's thread. You did not do well by throwing away this thread.
When the king was sleeping at night. Then Dasha Mata came in the dream in the form of an old woman and said to the king, King, your good condition is going and bad condition is coming. You did not do good by insulting me. As soon as he said this, Dasha Mata disappeared. As time passed, within a few days the royal grandeur, elephants, horses, grains, wealth, happiness, peace, everything started getting destroyed.
The king told his wife Damayanti to take her two sons and go to her parents' place, then his wife said that she will not go anywhere leaving you in such a situation. The way you live, I will also live in this situation. King Nala said, let us both go to another country. If we do any work here, no one will give us work. In this way Nala Raja left his country along with his family.
While walking, the palace of Bhil king was seen on the way. There the king left his two children as a trust. While walking, the king reached near the river Nal and said to the queen who was distraught with hunger and thirst, I will take out fishes from here and you can cook them. I bring pasar from the village. When Nal Raja went from the village with the food served, a bird pounced on him and all the food fell down. On the other hand, the queen was cooking fishes; all the fishes came alive and went into the pond.
After this, both of them started working in a village, the queen became a maid while the king started working in the army. When the queen went to the queen, the queen said that I too have a daughter like you. Then the maid said, I am your daughter, I am having bad days due to the wrath of Dasha Mata, that is why I came here. Today I will fast for Dasha Mata and apologize for my mistakes.
After this the queen mother called her son-in-law the king. Both the king and the queen together worshiped Dasha Mata as per the rituals. After this, the Nal couple returned in good condition, when they reached near their capital with their children, when the people of the city saw King Nal coming with Laab Lashkar, everyone welcomed them with great joy. By the grace of Dasha Mata, he again attained Rajyoga.
