Shani Pradosh Vrat Katha
There was a nagar seth in ancient times. Sethji's house had all kinds of comforts, but Seth and Sethani were always unhappy because they have no children. After much thought, Sethji entrusted his work to the servants and set out on a pilgrimage with his wife. On leaving his town, he found a monk who was sitting in meditation. Sethji thought, why not take blessings from the monk and travel further. Seth and Sethani sat near the monk. When the monk opened his eyes, he came to know that Seth and Sethani had been waiting for a child from a long time.
The monk said to Seth and his wife that I know the reason of your sorrow. You observe Shani Pradosh Vrat, this will give you child happiness. The monk also explained the method of Pradosh Vrat to them.
Both proceeded for the pilgrimage with the blessings of the monk. After returning from the pilgrimage, Seth and Sethani together performed Shani Pradosh Vrat, due to which a beautiful son was born in their house and their life was filled with happiness.
