Abstract
Sage Agasti is considered as one of the sapta Rishis (the seven great sages) mentioned in the Indian vedic
and pauranic literature. He was famous for observing the hardest penance. He was son of Varun Bramha
and mother Urvashi. Sage Vasishtha was his brother. He was instrumental in restoring the crown of Indra.
He helped the cause of Gods by drying the ocean and bringing the demons into spotlight through the
power of his penance. He loved to reside in the ancient city Kashi (Modern day Varanasi) but had to
migrate to south India for the cause of Gods. He is mentioned in both great Indian epics Ramayana and
Mahabharata. Rishi Agasti was present in the conclave of rishis conducted beneath the mountains of
Himalayas held some 5000 years ago to discuss the impact of diseases on human health. We find the
reference of medicinal preparations made by sage Agasti in famous Ayurvedic book ‘Vangasen Samita’.
Hence, it is necessary to explore the rishi Agasti and his contribution to Ayurveda. Exploration to Agasti
in Indological literature reveals that sage Agasti was multitalented, highly knowledgeable and powerful
scholar who had done extraordinary works for the cause of Gods through the power of his Tapa. He had
also contributed richly in the Ayurvedic literature by giving the detail account of many medicinal
preparations as mentioned in Vangasena Samhita.

Introduction :
Sage ‘Agasti’ was an illustrious ancient Indian rishi
who is largely known for his unimaginable
activities like drying the ocean and taking the pride
of Vindhya Mountain. His father was Varun
Bramha and mother was nymph Urvashi. His
younger brother was sage Vasishtha. His wife’s
name was ‘Lopamudra’ who was the princess of
Vidarbha King. Sage Agasti killed the Daityas
called ‘Elvil’ and ‘Vatapi. He successfully located
the poison called ‘Kalkoota’ into the tress evolved
during the process of ‘Samudra Manthana
(churning of sea). He wrote the medical book called
‘Agasti Samhita’ which was later revised by
Vangsena to come to know as ‘Vangasen Samhita.
He use to observe very strict penance. He
performed penance by ‘Vaikhanas’ method i.e. in
the forest and living on the forest food and air.
Maharishi Agasti was present in the conclave of
rishis conducted beneath the mountains of
Himalayas, some 5000 years ago.[1]
Material And Method :
Literary method of research is followed in this
article. All the available Ayurvedic and Indological
literature is explored to find the maximum
information about the sage Agasti.
Review of literature :
Birth of Agasti Rishi :
His mother was ‘Urwashi’ Apsara. She uses to
please both Varuna (Bramha) and Mitra (Surya).
She had sex with both on the same day. Later she
delivered twin babies in the form of Agasti and
Vasistha at a place near Himalayas.[2] [3]
Marriage With Lopamudra :
Once sage Agasti saw his ancestors in upside down
position in the pit. On asking the reason, they said
that as you are not married yet and don’t have son,
we are in this position. Learning this sage Agasti
decided to marry and he approached the Vidarbha
King and sought his daughter Lopamudra for
marriage. King was reluctant to give his beautiful
daughter to the aged rishi but feared the curse of
Rishi. But the girl intervened and herself agreed to
marry the Agasti rishi.[4]
Life With Lopamudra :
After marriage, Rishi asked Lopamudra to give up
the royal clothes and observe penance with him.
She obeyed the order of rishi and started observing
the penance. Once sage Agasti saw Lopamudra in
tempting state and asked her to cohabit with him.
But she said that as she is princess, he needs to be
like king. Then and then only she can have a sex
with him. [5]
Bringing The Wealth For Lopamudra :
To get the wealth rishi Agasti went to many reputed
kings including the Trasdasyu of Ayodhya but all
disappointed him giving the reason of empty
account. The helpless kings suggested him to visit
the then ruling rich Daitya king, the Elval.
Accordingly, sage Agasti approached demon king
Ilavil. Elval greeted him and gave him the gold
coins, cows and golden chariot. Agasti gave this
wealth to his wife Lopamudra. [6] Pleased with this
she accepted the invitation of Agasti for sex. From
this union they had a noble child called
‘Drudhasyu’. With the birth of this grandson the

Killing of Elval & Vatapi Daityas :
Once upon a time there existed two danava
brothers called Elval and Vatapi. They were sons of
Viprachiti Danava (Kashyapa’s son from Danu) &
mother Sinhika (daughter of Hiranyakashyapu) and
brothers of Danav Senapati Rahu. Elval asked
Bramhanas to grant them the son like Indra. But
they refused. Angered with this, Elval Daitya made
his brother Vatapi as lamb and asked the
Bramhanas to come for the meal of Shraddhas.
After eating is over Elval use to call his brother to
come out of tummy of Bramhanas. Thus, they
killed lacs of Bramhanas. Bramhnas complained it
to the rishi Agasti. Next time Agasti himself
attended the Shraddha function hosted by Elval and
ate the Vatapi and digested him so that when Elval
called, he could not come out. Instead, Agasti ate
Eval also. And made the society free from their
trouble.[7] [8]
Residence at Kashi & journey towards south :
Sage Agasti started observing penance at Kashi
with Shata-rudra sukta after knowing the
importance of Kashi as Avimukta Kshetra. People
of Vindhya region (South) outclassed north region
with their overall performance in all areas of life.
[Vindhya mountain story is Rupaka used to
narrate]. Having jealous with this; all Gods
approached lord Bramha and requested him to find
the solution. Bramha asked them to approach
Agasti rishi for the same.[9]
Ensuring the downfall of Nahusha (Indra) :
Having killed the Vrutrasura by betrayal, Indra had
to left the throne. In the absence of Indra, Gods
requested king Nahusha (Yayati’s father) of Prayag
(modern day Prayagraj) to take the charge of
Indrapada. Accordingly, he took over and started
ruling in the noble way initially. Later, being Indra,
the king of Gods, he developed a desire to possess
the queen ‘Shachi’. But trap was set by the ousted
Purandara Indra to dethrone the Nahusha. As per
the idea given by teacher f Gods, the Brihaspati,
King Nahusha asked the 7 prominent rishis to carry
his palanquin towards the mansion of Shachi. To
hasten the palanquin, he shouted ‘serpa’ ‘serpa’
(move on). In the process to hasten the things, he
hit the leg to the Agasti’s head. Angered with this
disrespect, sage Agasti cursed King Nahusha to fall
from the heaven and become ‘Serpent’ till he met
Yudhishthira. [10]
Later in the Dwapar Yuga, when Pandavas was in
exile, Nahusha in his serpent form tried to eat the
Bhima. While searching the Bhima, Yudhishthira
came there and saw Bhima engulfed by the serpent.
As soon as serpent see Yudhishthira, became free
from the curse and taught him few things of
wisdom.
Re-coronation of Purandar Indra :
After the downfall of Nahusha, sages re-coronated
the Purandara as ‘Indra’ of swarga.
Thus, with the help of sage Agasti, Purandra got
his Kingdom back again.[11]
Journey towards south & Advise to Vindhya :
All gods along with Indra and Brihaspati requested
the Agasti rishi to teach the lesson to the Vindhya
Mountain. To accomplish the task given by Gods,
Sage Agasti left the Kashi city with heavy heart as
he was reluctant to leave the Kashi. Vindhyagiri
frightened to see the Tapasvi Agasti rishi and with
fear of getting cursed bowed down. And
worshipped rishi along with wife. Agasti asked
Vindhya to remain in same position till he returns.

in the region complained about the scarcity of water
and requested Agastya to bring the river. Rishi
Agastya started observing the hard penance. Lord
Bramha got pleased and granted the boon to sage

Darshan of Lord Vishnu To Agastya & Shankha
At Venkatachalam :
In the Haihay lineage there was a king called
Shruta. His son was Shankha. He observed great
penance for the Darshan of lord Vishnu. But He
failed. And so does sage Agasti. A messenger from
lord Bramha came and told them to observe
penance at Venkatachalam Mountain to get the
Darshana of Lord Vishnu. Accordingly, they did
and lord Vishnu obliged. Both of them praised lord
Vishnu lot. Sage Agasti demanded a boon that who
so ever bath in Suvarnamukhi river and take the
Darshana of lord Vishnu idol on Venakatachalam
mountain should get the Bhoga and Moksha
both.[17]
Creation of Agastya Teertha by Agasti :
From Venkatachalam, sage Agasti went to Shri
kalhasteeshwar mountain and took Darshana of
lord Shiva. He worshipped there. Later, while
travelling in south India, Sage ‘Agasti’ reached the
Gandhamadan Mountain near Dhanushkoti –
Rameshwaram (Present day Tamilnadu state in
India). There he created the virtuous ‘Agasti
Teertha’. It is said that who so ever take bath in that
teertha, never get rebirth.[18]
Agasti Mountain :
Agathiyar Malai (or Agathiyarkoodam) is one of
the peaks in the Western Ghats that lies between
Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu
and Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala near the
Tamil Nadu border. It is 1,868-metres (6,129 ft)
tall. The perennial river ‘Thamirabarani’ originates
from the eastern side of the range and flows into the
Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. The rivers
flowing west towards through the district
of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala are the Karamana
River and the Neyyar river
Drying the sea & ensuring death of Asuras :
Once upon a time in the Satyayuga, the Kalekay
daityas under the leadership of Vrutrasura,
troubled the gods lot. When gods approached
Bramha for the help, he suggested to create the
Vajra Astra from the bones of the Dadhichi rishi.
Accordingly, Indra prepared it and killed the
Vrutrasura. After eliminating the Vrutrasura, he
started killing the Kalekaya daityas. Due to the
onslaught of Indra Kalekaya daityas entered the
sea. On learning that the tapas of the rishis protect
the people, they use to come out of the sea in the
night and eliminate the rishis.[19] On learning that
daityas eliminated the rishis from the earth, Indra
approached the Narayana and asked him to protect.
Narayana suggested them to take the help of Agasti
rishi to dry up the sea first as he only could do that.
That time rishi Agasti was observing Penance at
Malayagiri (TN-Kerala border) sea by Vaikhanas
Method of Tapas. Gods approached sage Agasti
and praised his past deeds like dethroning the
Nahusha from seat of Indra, taking away the pride
of Vindhya etc. To oblige the gods, Sage Agasti
dried the entire sea with his Tapas. Gods killed the
daityas exposed to sunlight. But in the process sea
was dried by the Tapas power of sage Agasti. They
requested to fill it again to Agasti, but he showed
his inability. Then lord Bramha assured that king
Bhagirath will bring ganga down in the future and
will fill the dried sea with the water. [20] Because of
this win over daityas, Gods got pleased and offered
boon to Agasti.[21]

Darshan of Lord Vishnu To Agastya & Shankha
At Venkatachalam :
In the Haihay lineage there was a king called
Shruta. His son was Shankha. He observed great
penance for the Darshan of lord Vishnu. But He
failed. And so does sage Agasti. A messenger from
lord Bramha came and told them to observe
penance at Venkatachalam Mountain to get the
Darshana of Lord Vishnu. Accordingly, they did
and lord Vishnu obliged. Both of them praised lord
Vishnu lot. Sage Agasti demanded a boon that who
so ever bath in Suvarnamukhi river and take the
Darshana of lord Vishnu idol on Venakatachalam
mountain should get the Bhoga and Moksha
both.[17]
Creation of Agastya Teertha by Agasti :
From Venkatachalam, sage Agasti went to Shri
kalhasteeshwar mountain and took Darshana of
lord Shiva. He worshipped there. Later, while
travelling in south India, Sage ‘Agasti’ reached the
Gandhamadan Mountain near Dhanushkoti –
Rameshwaram (Present day Tamilnadu state in
India). There he created the virtuous ‘Agasti
Teertha’. It is said that who so ever take bath in that
teertha, never get rebirth.[18]
Agasti Mountain :
Agathiyar Malai (or Agathiyarkoodam) is one of
the peaks in the Western Ghats that lies between
Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu
and Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala near the
Tamil Nadu border. It is 1,868-metres (6,129 ft)
tall. The perennial river ‘Thamirabarani’ originates
from the eastern side of the range and flows into the
Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. The rivers
flowing west towards through the district
of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala are the Karamana
River and the Neyyar river
Drying the sea & ensuring death of Asuras :
Once upon a time in the Satyayuga, the Kalekay
daityas under the leadership of Vrutrasura,
troubled the gods lot. When gods approached
Bramha for the help, he suggested to create the
Vajra Astra from the bones of the Dadhichi rishi.
Accordingly, Indra prepared it and killed the
Vrutrasura. After eliminating the Vrutrasura, he
started killing the Kalekaya daityas. Due to the
onslaught of Indra Kalekaya daityas entered the
sea. On learning that the tapas of the rishis protect
the people, they use to come out of the sea in the
night and eliminate the rishis.[19] On learning that
daityas eliminated the rishis from the earth, Indra
approached the Narayana and asked him to protect.
Narayana suggested them to take the help of Agasti
rishi to dry up the sea first as he only could do that.
That time rishi Agasti was observing Penance at
Malayagiri (TN-Kerala border) sea by Vaikhanas
Method of Tapas. Gods approached sage Agasti
and praised his past deeds like dethroning the
Nahusha from seat of Indra, taking away the pride
of Vindhya etc. To oblige the gods, Sage Agasti
dried the entire sea with his Tapas. Gods killed the
daityas exposed to sunlight. But in the process sea
was dried by the Tapas power of sage Agasti. They
requested to fill it again to Agasti, but he showed
his inability. Then lord Bramha assured that king
Bhagirath will bring ganga down in the future and
will fill the dried sea with the water. [20] Because of
this win over daityas, Gods got pleased and offered
boon to Agasti.[21]

indefinite period. And whenever his plane becomes
visible, and those who so ever worship him at that
time should become the king of seven lokas. Hence
one should always give ‘Arghya’ to the Agasti on
its rise till seven nights by facing the south
direction. One should make the idol of Agasti rishi
made up silver with long hands and long abdomen
and keep it in Arghya Kalasha and donate it to the
deserving Bramhanas at that time. [22] When Son’s
5º22 remains in Virgo, that day Agasti star rise in
east. [23]
Agasti Ashram in the south :
It was full of fig trees with different flowering and
fruit trees. It was full of lakes with birds like swan,
karanda, chakrawak in it. The black mountains all
around. Animals like rabbit elephant, monkeys,
deer were all around. Company of siddhas, Nagas,
Yasha, Deavs, Gandharvas around. Flying Birds
everywhere. Fragrance of flowers was making the
atmosphere pleasant.[24]
Agasti’s Meeting with Rama :
Rama entered the Ashrama of Agasti near river
Godavari. Agasti greeted Rama, Laxmana and Sita
with great pleasure. Agasti offered them fruits and
water. Agasti told them that near from his place, on
the bank of river Godavari, there is a place called
‘Panchavati’(near modern day Nashik city) which
is very delightful and full of joy. He asked Rama to
take Sita there. She will like that place very much.
On his guidance, Rama took Sita there and built the
hermitage and started enjoying life there.[25]
Agasti’s Contribution To Ayurveda :
There are references to following medicinal
preparations made by sage Agasti in Vangasena
Samita.
Agastya Haritaki Rasayana [26]
Agastyavleha [27]
Agasti Sutraj Rasa [28]
Avipattikar Churna [29]
Dashmuladya Ghrita [30]
Agasti Modaka [31]
Observation :
Thorough exploration of classical Ayurvedic
literature reveals many references of ancient
‘Agasti Samhita’ written by sage Agasti. In fact, it
is mentioned by acharya Vangasena that the
Samhita written by him is actually the modified
‘Agasti Samhita’.
Discussion :
Exploration to life events of sage Agasti shows that
he not only took care of his wife Lopamudra but
also fulfilled her desire in every best possible way.
He also kept her on noble path by narrating her
about the different galaxies, noble code of conduct,
life journey etc. Thus, he proved to be the noble
husband. When he fulfilled the desire of his
ancestors, he appears to be the obedient descendent
having deep respect for ancestors. He observed
great penance and gained yogic power which he
utilized for the cause of Gods. He was instrumental
in eliminating the evil demons and restoring the
peace on planet. He saved Bramhanas from getting
killed at the hands of demons. Thus, sage Agasti
appears to be great social servant who always help
others. He learnt Ayurveda from sage Bhardwaja,
He applied Ayurveda in the form of Siddha
medicine in south India.
Summary & Conclusion :
Rishi Agasti is one of the most revered sages in
ancient Indian tradition of rishis who not only

contributed in enriching the Ayurvedic literature
but also the Astrological and chemical literature.
His life story gives idea about his dynamic
multitalented personality. In him we not only find
the typical penance observing sage but a
philosopher, a consultant, a teacher, a thinker and a
scientist who always helped the Gods when they
were in need. As he was present among the
assembly of ancient rishis to discuss the impact of
diseases on human beings, and subsequently got the
knowledge of Ayurveda from Bhardwaja, it is very
likely that his treatise ‘Agastya Samhita’ on
Ayurveda existed till the medieval period.
Moreover, it is thought that the ‘Vangasena
Samhita’ which is available today is nothing but the
modified ancient ‘Agastya Samhita’.
