Shri Sutaji said, "O sages! I tell you another story, you all listen carefully - there was a king named Tungadhwaj who was always concerned about the people of his kingdom. He suffered a lot by ignoring the offerings of Lord Satyanarayan. Once the king was in the forest with wild animals. After killing, he saw the cowherds worshiping Shri Satyanarayanji with devotion, but due to pride he neither went there nor saluted Lord Satyadev. When the cowherds placed the Prasad in front of him, he left the Prasad and after reaching the city he realized that Lord Satyadev had done all this out of anger. When he came back and went near the cowherds and after worshiping him ritually and took the prasad, by the grace of Lord Satyanarayana everything became the same as before and after enjoying happiness for a long time, he attained salvation after death.
The person who observes this great and rare fast, by the grace of Lord Satyanarayana, he will have no shortage of wealth and grains. The poor become the rich and the captive become free from their bonds and become fearless. The childless gets a child and after fulfilling all his desires, he finally goes to Vaikuntha Dham.
Now also know about those who first observed this fast, now also listen to the story of their second birth.
An old Brahmin named Shatananda took birth as Sudama and attained Vaikuntha by worshiping and serving Lord Krishna. A king named Ulkamukha became King Dashratha and attained salvation by worshiping Shri Ranganath. A Vaishya named Sadhu born as the virtuous and truthful king Mordhwaja and attained Vaikuntha by cutting his son with a saw. Maharaja Tungdhwaj became Sayambhu Manu, He attained Vaikuntha Dham by inculcating many people in the devotion of God. In the next life, the woodcutter became a Nishada king named Guha (गुह), who made all his births better by serving the feet of Lord Rama.
