Śavarī-āśrama.—It was formerly owned by the sage Mātaṅga and his disciples. Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa visited it and were greeted with respect by Śavarī. With her matted lock, meagre garment and skin of black deer as wrapper, she maintained the tradition of this hermitage (Rāmāyaṇa, I, 1. 55ff.; cf. S.I.I., III, 77, 6ff.)
