Termite Hill

Legend has it that Sant ("Maharshi") Balmiki was a dacoit named Ratnakar. He used to loot the common people to make his living. One day he asked his family if they will share his sins. They said no because it is his duty to feed them and how he does it his own problem. So though they take his food the sins will be his alone for him to atone. This made him think and he went through some more mental elevation with the help of the gods. So he went into meditation. So deep and long was his meditation that termites built a hill on his body and hid him from sight. People going past the termite hill could only hear some chants coming out of the hill but not see his body. One day he emerged from the hill fully changed and turned into a saint, who wrote The Ramayanas.

I wonder it that termite hill would look as big as this one!!
