1.Ascetic sage Agastya moved from northen India to southern India by crossing Vindhya mountain range.

2.He proposed to "Lopamudra", a princess born in the kingdom of Vidarbha.

3.Her parents were unwilling to bless the engagement, concerned that she would be unable to live the austere lifestyle of Agastya in the forest. 4.However, the legends state that Lopamudra accepted him as her husband, saying that Agastya has the wealth of ascetic living, her own youth will fade with seasons, and it is his virtue that makes him the right person. Therewith, Lopamudra becomes the wife of Agastya.

5.Agastya and Lopamudra have a son named "Drdhasyu", sometimes called "Idhmavaha". He is described in the Mahabharata as a boy who learns the Vedas listening to his parents while he is in the womb, and is born into the world reciting the hymns.
