Parameshthi

The gods, having received Vishnu's counsel and Parameshthi's leave, arrive at Agastya's hermitage. There they find the sage blazing with energy, worshipped by rishis. They recite his past deeds — subduing the tyrant Nahusha, commanding the mountain Vindhya to stop its growth, and protecting the worlds from darkness — before formally petitioning him for a boon.
