Kaamika Ekadashi - Ashadh Vad Ekadashi
King Yudhishthir once asked Bhagwan Shree Krishna, "O Vaasudev! What is the name and significance of the Ekadshi that fall in the dark fortnight of the month of Ashadh?!"
Bhagwan Shree Krishna replied, "O king! Vrat of this Ekadashi dispels all sins just as the rising sun dispels darkness. I will reiterate the same answer Brahma gave to Sage Narad when later asked Brahma the same question. Listen to it attentively."
Pavitra Ekadashi - Bhadarva Sud Ekadashi
King Yudhishthir asked Bhagwan, "O Shree Krishna! By what name the Ekadashi falling in the Sud fortnight of the month of Bhadrapad? Please narrate me the Katha of its significance."
Bhagwan Shree Krishna replied, "O King Yudhishthir! Bhadarva Sud Ekadashi is known as Pavitra (Parivartini) Ekadashi. Also known as Vaman Ekadashi, it is capable of dispelling all sins and harbinger of good fortune. Fasting on this Ekadashi grants one heaven or Moksha as per devotee's desire. Whoever wishes to uplift himself should observe its Vrat. My devotees worship Bhagwan Vaman on this day, which bring them closer to Me. Bhagwan Narayan, asleep since Devshayani Ekadashi, turns on His side. Therefore this Ekadashi is known as Parivartini Ekadashi."
Aja Ekadashi - Shravan Vad Ekadashi
King Yudhishthir asked Bhagwan, "O Shree Krishna! What is the name of Ekadashi that falls in Vad fortnight of Shravan. Please narrate its significance to me."
Bhagwan Shree Krishna replied, "O pious king! Shravan Vad Ekadashi is known as 'Aja Ekadashi'. Whoever embarks on Vrat of Aja Ekadashi after worshipping Bhagwan Narayan or listens to this Katha with love and devotion will have all his sins washed away. The Vrat of this Ekadashi leads one on the path of salvation.

Also known as Vaman Ekadashi, it is capable of dispelling all sins and harbinger of good fortune. Fasting on this Ekadashi grants one heaven or Moksha as per devotee's desire.
