Vrat Katha
According to the Vrat Katha, there was a king named Mahismati who had five sons. His eldest son was of loose moral and often insulted Gods and religious activities. Soon he got habituated to consuming intoxicants and stealing money and valuables from his father's kingdom. As a result, he was thrown out of his father's kingdom. One day the soldiers of the king caught the eldest son, while he was looting the people of his father's kingdom.
Ashamed of his moral conduct, he started living under an old peepal tree in a deep jungle. One winter morning, he became too sick. After gaining consciousness, he went deep into the jungle and brought some fruits. He kept those fruits under the peepal tree and prayed to Lord Vishnu. He asked the deity to forgive him for his moral conduct and past deeds. Soon, he gained insight and was accepted by his kingdom's people. He grew into a better and learned human and was married to a princess.
