History of Jivitputrika Vrat  

According to folklore, there once was a kind-hearted and intelligent monarch named Jimutavahana. The king was dissatisfied with the numerous worldly pleasures, so he entrusted the kingdom and its responsibilities to his brother, and then he went to a forest.

After some time, while wandering through the forest, the King came across an elderly lady who was sobbing. When he inquired, the King learned that the lady was from the Nagvanshi (snake family) and had just one son. However, because of the promise they had sworn, there was a custom to sacrifice a snake every day to Pakshiraj Garuda as his meal, and now was her son's turn.

Jimutavahana, seeing the woman's predicament, assured her that he would safeguard his son and his life from Garuda. He then draped himself in a scarlet robe and lay down on the rocks, presenting himself as Garuda's food.

Jimutavahana was held by Garuda when he appeared. He saw that there were no tears or dread of death in his eyes as it was being fed. Garuda was taken aback and inquired as to his true identity.

While hearing everything, Pakshiraj Garuda set Jimutavahana free since he was impressed with his valor and also promised not to accept any more snake sacrifices or offerings. As a result of the King's charity and bravery, the lives of snakes were preserved. As a result, the day is known as Jivitputrika Vrat, during which women fast for the well-being, good fortune, and longevity of their children.
