The vrat is also connected with Lord Vamana, Vishnu's dwarf avatar who humbled King Bali and restored cosmic order. Devotees fast, worship Vamana or Vishnu, offer tulsi, and renew their Chaturmas vows as the season of discipline reaches its midpoint.
Gau Seva on Parsva Ekadashi is a way to renew one's Chaturmas sankalp. Feeding cows during the monsoon honours Vishnu's sustaining sleep and the earth's dependence on gentle care. It is especially meaningful for devotees who began regular seva on Devshayani Ekadashi and wish to continue with steadiness.
