Full sarga summary

Agastya tells how once, in a desolate forest by a lovely lake, he found a corpse that would not decay -- a celestial being descended from a swan-drawn chariot, attended by apsaras, devoured the corpse, bathed, and made to depart -- and Agastya asked him who he was and why he ate such loathsome food.
