2 (#25). Vindhya giri pushed down.
Agasthya visited the holy places on his way and reached the Vindhya giri. "I am on my way to the Pothigai giri. Please let me go past you!".
Vindhya replied arrogantly," I stop the passage of the sun and the moon. I will not give way to you and let you pass by. Go back to where you are coming from!"
Agasthya was undaunted by this reply. He stretched his hand and placed it on the top of the Vindhya giri. He pushed it down with all his might.
Now the Vindhya descended to the paatala and was in the same level as Adhisesha. It felt humiliated and became humbler. It begged to the sage,
"Please forgive me and my arrogance. When will I regain my original place of glory?" "When I come back here again, you will rise to your original place of glory" the sage replied.
Vindhya was now in the paataala. The devas rained flowers down from the sky. The sage shrunk his hand to its original size and went on his way to Podhigai giri.
