Once the Mountain
Vindya started to grow high
thinking that it could overtake mount Meru. Then Devendra was worried by its
growth which would make some parts of the world dark and found that only sage Agsthya could do
something to stop the growth of Vindya so he requested Agasthya to help to stop
the growth of Vindya.
Agasthya came from the north and had to cross the Vindya to
come to the south of India. So he went to Vindya and said “Oh great Vindya
please give me way to go to the south to do some job so please stop growing
till I finish my job in the south and return. Please remain as you are now till
I come back and then you can grow to any height you want.”
Vindya mountain had lot of respect for Saint Agasthya and
readily agreed to his request and remained dormant.
Agasthya came down to south and remained in the south and
did develop grammar for the Tamil languages from there and he remained in the ‘Pothigai' mountains.
Once sage Agasthya got annoyed with river Cauvery and took
her in his ‘kamandala’ (jar) and the river was imprisoned for ever. Then Devendra came in the guise of a crow when Agsthya had gone for a bath and
pushed the Kamandala and the river was released.
