God Shani is recognized as a justice of God. It is believed that he gives punishment to people for their bad deeds this is the reason that people afraid of him. Those people who face the dasha of Shani ki sadhesati perform the fast of Saturday.
Saturday is dedicated to the lord Shani so people worshipped God Shani on that day. It is said that kala til, black clothes, Sarso oil and udad dal is dear to the God Shani therefore he is worshipped by all these items.
Once all nine planets were fighting with each other to prove itself powerful. To find the solution all Gods were went in the front of God Indra the king of all Gods and ask him for the decision. God indra feeling confused and said I am not capable to give the correct judgement so we all went to the earth. In the Earth there is a famous king named Vikramaditya who is famous for its correct judgement. Then all Gods were visted to the palace of the king Vikramaditya and asked him for the judgement. To hear the problem of the Gods Vikramaditya feeling confused because he known that all Gods have different power and his decision will harmful for him. He took some time for think and asked their servants to carry nine seats or asan of different metal for all nine Gods according to their powers. All nine seats fixed according to their quality and asked all the Gods to take seat. When all Gods take their seats he asked that your problem was solved itself who sit in the first seat he was great.
God Shani became angry to hear his decision and said “Vikramaditya you insulted me so be ready for the punishment. My time period is seven years for any rashi so be careful now its your turn for the punishment.” After this incident, all Gods went to the heaven or Swargalok to hear the judgement but God Shani was unhappy and he want to take revenge.
King Vikramaditya was not afraid from that incident and give the judgement normally. People live happily in the kingdom of the king Vikramaditya but God Shani was searching the opportunity to take revenge.
To take the revenge God Shani disguise itself as a merchant of horse and reached in the city Ujjain. When king Vikramaditya heard about the fair of the horse he ordered his caretaker of the horse to buy a powerful horse but he gave the information that all horses are powerful and precious. Hense Vikramaditya itself went to choose the horse but when he take a test drive of the horse, it runs as fast as thunder. That horse threw him in a forest and being disappeared then king tried to find the way of his kingdom but all in vain. After some time he met with person who was grazing his cow. Vikramaditya drunk his water and gave his ring as a gift. He narrate the way of the city to the king.
When king entered in the city he felt tired so he sat in a shop of the merchant. After this, the shop was packed by the customers and merchant gain more money in the comparision of other
days. Therefore, the merchant take him to his house and offer him meal but at that time a necleus of gold was disappeared. The merchant thought that Vikramaditya theft hid gold necles so he went for the king of his city and asked for the judgement. That king ordered to cut the hand and leg of the king Vikramaditya and leave him on the road.
After some days a oil man carry him in his house and give him a work to make a noise for bulls so they do their work regularly. When the period of Sadhesati was near to complete the pricess of that city was heard the song of the king Vikramaditya. She was impressed by the sonf of the Vikramaditya so she send her maid servant to know about the singer. The Princess maid servant give him the information that the singer have no hand and leg but she already decided to married with the singer. The parents of the princess tried to change her decision but failed and finally get married with him. At that night God Shani came into his dream and said I gave you the punishment of my insult. Then king Vikramaditya pledge sorry to the God Shani and said don’t give anybody this kind of sentence. God Shani accepted his appeal and said who worshipped me at Saturday and perform fast I always bless them.
Next morning when king was wake up he find that he have hand and leg. He felt happy and give thanks to the lord Shani. When his wife saw him she was surprised then king Vikramaditya narrate him all incident. The merchant also heard that miracle so he also came at the oil man’s house and pledge sorry to the Vikramaditya and he also find his gold neckles. That merchant also married his daughter with the king Vikramaditya and gifted him lots of money and jewellery.
When king reached into his kingdom he announced that God Shani is great in the comparision of other Gods. After this incident all people perform the fast of God Shani and get his blessings.
