 It also contains the mythical story of a war between Indra and Vritra, where all the demons hide in the sea, gods requesting Agastya for help, who then goes and drinks up the ocean thereby revealing all the demons to the gods.The Puranic literature of Hinduism has numerous stories about Agastya, more elaborate, more fantastical and inconsistent than the mythologies found in Vedic and Epics literature of India.For example, chapter 61 of the "Matsya Purana", chapter 22 of "Padma Purana", and seven other Maha Puranas tell the entire biography of Agastya.
