Kolhapur: Sage Agastya meeting Devi Mahalakshmi of Kolhapur:

(Skanda Purana - Kashi Khanda - 5)

Kashi, Varanasi district, Uttar Pradesh

• Meditation: I meditate on Kashi which bestows liberation.

• Sage Agastya meeting Devi Mahalakshmi of Kolhapur: After wandering from place to place and lamenting for being separated from Kashi, sage Agastya met Devi Mahalakshmi of Kolhapur. The Devi granted the boon of return to Kashi saying that in the future 29th Dwapara, sage Agastya will be a Vyasa who will classify the Vedas and teach the Puranas, during which time he will return to Varanasi. Devi Mahalakshmi instructed sage Agastya to meet Skanda who will narrate the secret of Varanasi to him in the manner recounted by Lord Shiva to him. That narration will bring satisfaction to the sage.
