In the epic Ramayana, Sutikshana is mentioned as an ascetic of extraordinary merit on account of his austerities. When Lord Rama and Sita visited Sutikshana in his hermitage in the forest they found him covered with mud. His head was covered with matted hair; his body was reduced to bones and skin.
