In a city of ancient times, a youth lived with his old mother. The old mother married her son, but after marriage the old man used to bother her daughter-in-law and would not even feed her. One day the youth, upset with his mother's actions, decided to leave the city and go to a different city and went away after telling the mother and wife. On the way to the city, his wife asked for something from his wife as a token of remembrance, but his wife had nothing. One day he heard about the fast of Santoshi Mata and started fasting for Santoshi Mata. Due to the effect of this fast, her husband's letter and money started being received. The married life began to prosper, but due to the burning of the marriage, the woman living in the neighborhood started feeding her child, which angered her mother Durga and took the married husband to the king. Her mother's resentment was felt after seeing the status of the married woman and then the wife asked for forgiveness, after which the mother forgave her and returned to full life again.
