As per the story of Ahoi Ashtami, there lived a moneylender in some cities. He had seven sons. Only seven days were left for Diwali's arrival, so cleaning work was going own in the house. For this, his wife went near the river to bring some mud for painting the house. 

The place she was digging to get mud, had a den of cub, nearby. One of the cubs was killed by the spade of the lady. Seeing this, the wife of the moneylender got upset. Mournfully she went back home. By the curse of cub, moneylenders elder son died. Then his second son died, followed by the third one. Within a year's time, all his children were dead. 

The lady started living depressed because all her sons were dead. One day, while crying she narrated her story to the nearby living ladies, that she did not do the sin knowingly. Accidentally, the cub child got killed by her. After this, all my seven sons died. Listening to this, an old lady in her neighborhood consoled her. And told her, the repentance you have done has cleaned half of your sin. 

On the day of Ahoi Ashtami, you should take the shelter of Goddess Bhagwati and draw the face of cub and her children. Worship them and ask for apologies, this will be fruitful for you. By God's grace, your sin will be washed off. Wife of a moneylender, followed the words of that old lady and kept fast on Ashtami Tith of Krishna Paksha of Kartik Mas.

Aarti of Goddess Ahoi :


जय अहोई माता, जय अहोई माता। तुमको निसदिन ध्यावत हर विष्णु विधाता ।। टेक ।।

ब्राहमणी, रुद्राणी, कमला तू ही है जगमाता। सूर्य चंद्रमा ध्यावत नारद ऋषि गाता ।। जय ।।

माता रूप निरंजन सुख-सम्पत्ति दाता। जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत नित मंगल पाता ।। जय ।।

तू ही पाताल बसंती, तू ही है शुभदाता। कर्म प्रभाव प्रकाशक जगनिधि से त्राता ।। जय ।।

जिस घर थारो वासा वाहि में गुण आता। कर न सके सोई कर ले मन नहीं धड़काता ।। जय ।।

तुम बिन सुख न होवे न कोई पुत्र पाता। खान पान का वैभव तुम बिन नहीं आता ।। जय ।।

शुभ गुण सुंदर युक्ता क्षीर निधि जाता। रतन चतुर्दश तोकू कोई नहीं पाता ।। जय ।।

श्री अहोई माँ की आरती जो कोई गाता। उर उमंग अति उपजे पाप उतर जाता ।। जय ।।
