Svaha Disposes Agni's Semen in a Golden Well
Pleased with the union, Shiva catches Agni's semen in her hand and fears that people will see it and speak of the brahmanas' wives' misdeeds. She becomes a Garudi (Suparni), flies to Mount Shveta guarded by serpents, and hurls the semen into a golden well. She then assumes the forms of the other wives of the saptarshis and unites with Agni six times — but cannot assume Arundhati's form due to her faithfulness.
The goddess was pleased with the union and caught the semen in her hand. She thought: "If people see this form in the forest, they will speak about the misdeeds of the wives of the brahmanas with Agni. To prevent this, I will become a Garudi and will easily escape from this forest."
She then became a Suparni and left the great forest. She saw Mount Shveta, covered extremely well with reeds. The mountain was guarded by extraordinary seven-hooded serpents, with poison in their eyes. It was populated by rakshasas, pishachas, masses of terrible demons, female rakshasas, and many animals and birds. She quickly went to the mountain peak that was difficult of access. She then hurriedly hurled the semen into a golden well.
Then the goddess assumed the forms of the other wives of the great-souled saptarshis and united with Agni. But she was not able to assume the celestial form of Arundhati, because of her faithfulness towards her husband and because of the power of her austerities.
Driven by desire, Svaha hurled Agni's semen into the well six times. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 511
