The soul of śobhana went to the valley of the mountain of mandara and started enjoying heavenly bliss. One day a pilgrim from the country of mucukunda named somaśarmā met the soul of śobhana and coming to know that it was the son-inlaw of their King he started making enquiries about him. śobhana then said that all his happiness was due to his observing the ekādaśī vrata.
