mythology
In Satyayuga, a Brahmin named Sumitra, who knew Vedas and Vedangas, lived with his wife Jayashree. They earned their living by farming. His son's name was Sumati, who was a complete scholar and a hospitable person. When the time came, both of them coincidentally died together. Jayshree was born a bitch and her husband Sumitra was born a bull. Luckily, both of them started living in their son Sumati's house. Once Sumati performed Shraddha of her parents. His wife cooked kheer for the Brahmin meal, which was unknowingly spoiled by a snake. The bitch was watching this incident. Thinking that the Brahmins who eat the kheer will die, he himself touched the kheer. Enraged at this, Sumati's wife beat the bitch badly. He then cleaned all the utensils and made kheer again and fed it to the Brahmins and buried its pot in the ground. Because of this the bitch remained hungry that day.
When it was midnight, the bitch came to the bull and narrated the whole story. The bull said sadly - 'Today Sumati tied my mouth and plowed me and did not even let me graze on the grass. This is causing great pain to me too.' Sumati was listening to both of them and came to know that the bitch and the bull were our parents. He fed both of them a full meal and went to the sages and asked the reason for their parents' birth in animal form and the solution for their welfare. The sages asked him to observe fast on Rishi Panchami for his salvation. As per the orders of the sages, Sumati observed Rishi Panchami fast with full devotion, as a result of which her parents were freed from the animal life.
