A sage blessed with immolation in Rama’s presence. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

Once Indra, the Lord of the Devas decided to take sage Sarabhanga to heaven in recognition of his intense tapas (penance). He approached Sarabhanga with his entourage and invited him to visit heaven. Sage Sarabhanga then replied, ‘Sir! I have no desire for heaven. Lord Narayana in the form of Shri Ramachandra will be visiting my Ashram (hermitage). I don’t consider our visit to heaven is more important than the darshan of the Lord Narayana. If you wish, I will come to heaven after having the darshan of Shri Ramachandra. Till then, I will not leave my Ashram. (Beacons of Divine Wisdom Part I p. 6)
