Agastya Katha Part-1

Agastya Katha Part-1

There are many stories in our Puranas and Granthas which describe the power of penance performed by Rishi-Munis. Many Rishis were able to perform outstanding deeds due to this power. Once, there was such a rishi named Agastya. Worried about his marriage, he created a wife for himself in a weird way. He freed the world from the atrocities of Ilvala (इल्वल) and Vatapi and did many more astonishing things with his limitless power of digestion. All such doings of his blend together to form a very interesting tale. We have named this tale, Agastya Katha.
