Being pleased Śiva appeared there in the form of Agastyeśvara. Near Agastyeśvara there is a holy place known as Śaktibheda resided by the sages. According to Skandapurāṇa (V.1.34) this place is said to be at Ujjayinī on the bank of the river Siprā. The place is associated with the legend of the birth of Kārtikeya. Bathing at this tīrtha if a person visits Bhadravaṭa becomes released from all sins and is honoured in Skandaloka.
