I will, O Rāma, tell you where that mighty ascetic, Agastya, is. My child, go four miles from the hermitage in a southerly direction; and you will come to the hermitage of the brother of the auspicious Agastya situated on a land covered with trees, graced with Pippali woods, abounding in fruits and flowers, charming, and resonant with the notes of various birds. There are many tanks containing delightful waters, swarming with swans and Kārandavas, and beauteous with Cakravākas.
अयमाख्यामि ते राम यत्रागस्त्यो महामुनिः। योजनान्याश्रमात् तात याहि चत्वारि वै ततः। दक्षिणेन महाञ्छ्रीमानगस्त्यभ्रातुराश्रमः॥ स्थलीप्रायवनोद्देशे पिप्पलीवनशोभिते। बहुपुष्पफले रम्ये नानाविहगनादिते॥ पद्मिन्यो विविधास्तत्र प्रसन्नसलिलाशयाः। हंसकारण्डवाकीर्णाश्चक्रवाकोपशोभिताः॥
