Agastya’s Encounter with Ilvala and Vātāpi; Dāna, Progeny, and the Renown of Agastya-Āśrama
ततो बहुतिथे काले लोपामुद्रां विशाम्पते । तपसा द्योतितां स््नातां ददर्श भगवानृषि:,राजन! जब इसी प्रकार बहुत समय व्यतीत हो गया, तब एक दिन भगवान् अगस्त्यमुनिने ऋतुस्नानसे निवृत्त हुई पत्नी लोपामुद्राको देखा। वह तपस्याके तेजसे प्रकाशित हो रही थी। महर्षिने अपनी पत्नीकी सेवा, पवित्रता, इन्द्रियसंयम, शोभा तथा रूप-सौन्दर्यसे प्रसन्न होकर उसे मैथुनके लिये पास बुलाया
tato bahutithe kāle lopāmudrāṃ viśāmpate | tapasā dyotitāṃ snātāṃ dadarśa bhagavān ṛṣiḥ ||
After a long time had passed in this manner, O lord of the people, the venerable sage beheld Lopāmudrā, radiant with the splendor born of austerity, just returned from her ritual bath. Seeing her purity, self-restraint, and disciplined service, and pleased by her grace and beauty, the sage drew her near with the intention of conjugal union.
