There were Kinnars, Apsaras and Ganfharvas who stayed in his kingdom and sang everyday. In the same city, there was a very beautiful Apsara (Lalita) who lived with her husband (Lalit), a noble Ganfharva. Both were so much in love that they used to get lost in each other's memories. They were prosperous and living happily with each other.

Once, Lalit was called to the King's court to sing and dance, and while doing both he suddenly remembered his wife Lalita and therefore, couldn't control his voice and his dance steps. There was a snake present in the court called Karkotak, who understood the situation and informed the King. Hearing the situation, the King got angry and then cursed him and turned into a demon. Lalit kept roaming in the kingdom with this face for many years and his wife witnessed this and followed him to jungles or wherever he went, but seeing her husband in so much trouble, she became extremely sad.

While roaming in the jungle, Lalita saw an ashram in the Vindhya mountain where a sage was present. She asked the sage about ways of salvation to get her husband rid of the curse. The sage took pity on Lalit and asked Lalita to observe Kamada Ekadashi fast. Hearing this, she came back to her home and diligently observed this vrat and soon the curse was removed and again they were able to get back to their normal lives.
