 His Vedic poetry is particularly notable for two themes.In one set of hymns, Agastya describes a conflict between two armies led by gods Indra and Maruts, which scholars such as G. S. Ghurye have interpreted as an allegory of a conflict between Arya (Indra) and Dasa (Rudra).Agastya successfully reconciles their conflict, makes an offering wherein he prays for understanding and loving-kindness between the two.
