LOPAAMUDRA

          Lopaamudra was the daughter of the king of Vidharbha and  wife of the great sage Agastya.

          She is said to be have been formed by the sage Agastya himself from the most beautiful parts of different animals so as to have a wife after his own heart, and then secretly  introduced into the palace of the king of Vidharbha where she grew up as his daughter.  She was afterwards married by Agastya.

          He was asked by her to acquire immense riches before be thought of having any connection with her.  The sage accordingly first went to the king Sruthavarman, and from him to several other persons till he went to the rich demon Ilvala and, having conquered him, got immense wealth from him and satisfied his wife.
