"Now listen, king, how all the gods destroyed the Kaleyas, having received a boon from Agastya. Hearing the word of the thirty gods, Maitravaruni said: 'Why have you come? What boon do you wish from me?' Then the gods answered him: 'This is what we wish you to do, great seer: drink up the great ocean, great soul. Then we shall slay these enemies of the gods, called the Kaleyas, together with their followers.' Hearing the word of the thirty gods, the sage said: 'So be it. I shall fulfill your desire and the great good of the worlds.' Having said this, he who was true to his vows went to the ocean, lord of rivers, together with the seers who had attained perfection through austerity, and with the gods. Humans, nagas, gandharvas, yakshas, and kimpurushas followed the great soul, wishing to see this wonder. All together they came to the ocean with its fearsome roar: it seemed to dance with its waves, to leap under the wind, to laugh with masses of foam and stumble among its hollows, and it was full of various sea monsters and multitudes of birds. The gods together with Agastya, with the gandharvas and the great nagas, and the great and blessed seers, drew near to the great ocean."

Agastya's assent sounds simple, yet behind it stands the scale of cosmic service. True power does not display itself but does what is needed for the good of the worlds.
