According to mythology asgastya climbed Vindhya and put his foot on top of it and
ordered it not to grow
till his retrun from the South. I had a doubt that agastya got this name from this
act.
I have consulted a grammarian who has given the derivation of agastya as
agam (mountain) styaayati (stays) iti agastyah.
Incidentally the English stay seems to have originated from the Sanskrit styaa.
Comments are welcome.
