The gods being alarmed sought the aid of the sage Agastya,  who approached the mountain and requested that by bending down he would give him an easy passage to the south,  and that he would retain the same position till his return.

पुराणम्

English

विन्ध्य / VINDHYA. One of the seven chief mountain chains. This mountain which separates South india from North india is famous in various ways in the Purāṇas.(i)  agastya kicked vindhya down. (See under agastya).(ii)  sunda and Upasunda,  two asuras,  did penance on vindhya and got boons. (M.B. Ādi Parva,  Chapter 208,  Stanza 7).(iii)  Because of the fierce penance of sunda,  the mountain vindhya became hot and from that day onwards smoke comes out from vindhya. (M.B. Ādi Parva,  Chapter 208,  Stanza 10).(iv)  The deity of vindhya stays in the palace of kubera serving him. (M.B. Sabhā Parva,  Chapter 10,  Stanza 31).(v)  On this mountain there is the eternal abode of devī durgā. (M.B. virāṭa Parva,  Chapter 6,  Stanza 17).(vi)  vindhya is one of the seven chief mountain chains. (M.B. bhīṣma parva,  Chapter 9,  Stanza 11). (vii)  In Tripuradahana (the burning of Tripuras) vindhya appeared behind the chariot of śiva as the emblem on his flag. (M.B. droṇa parva,  Chapter 202,  Stanza 71)
(viii)  vindhya once became the axle of the chariot of śiva. (M.B. karṇa Parva,  Chapter 34,  Stanza 22).(ix)  This mountain gave subrahmaṇya two attendants named ucchṛṅga and atiśṛṅga. (M.B. śalya Parva,  Chapter 45,  Stanza 49).(x)  Mention is made in mahābhārata,  Anuśāsana Parva,  Chapter 25,  Stanza 49,  that he who does penance on the vindhya,  for a month without killing any living creature,  could obtain all attainments.
