Agastya drinks up the Ocean

The sage said - Listen Son of Pandu. The asuras took refuge in the ocean. They hid in the water in the day, and in the evening, they would come out and attack the sages.
The tormented sages, who managed to save themselves and the Gods went to Vishnu asking for help. Vishnu asked them to approach Brahma. Brahma took the Gods where Agastya was. They asked the sage for help.
Agastya went to the ocean and said that for the welfare of all, he would drink up the ocean. He then sucked in and swallowed all the water. The Gods were ready with their weapons. They attacked the asuras hiding in the water. They killed the asuras.

With the ocean now dry, the Gods were worried. They asked Brahma for a solution. Brahma said the ocean would remain dry till Bhagiratha was born on this earth, He would help fill in the ocean.
