Agastya : Vedic sage, author of many hymns in the Rig Veda. “Agastya had been for years driving deep into the earth, the abyss of the subconscient, for he nourished both the worlds, earth & heaven; he along with his companion Lopamudrā had been striving for the victory here upon earth itself, in their battle & the sacrifice with its hundred fiery tongues…for the effort that had the protection of the gods could never fail, na mṛṣā śrāntam yadavanti devāh. To carry the effort of the Vedic Rishis to a greater fulfilment, to make the victory complete in a hundred, nay, a thousand ways, śatanītham sahastranītham, ― this precisely was Sri Aurobindo’s aim.” – Nolini [Reminiscences, 2015, p.53]
