The demon was Vatapi.

The demons Vatapi and Ilaval used to kill people. The method was that Vatapi turned into meat. He was fed to the people as meat. Then Ilaval read mantra to call out Vatapi. Vatapi came out of the stomach of the person, who had been fed the meat, by tearing apart the person's stomach. Thus that person was killed.

Sage Agastya decided to teach them a lesson. As planned, Vatapi was fed to Agastya. After eating Agastya rubbed his stomach saying "Vatapi JeerNo bhava" meaning may Vatapi be digested. After that Ilaval kept on calling Vatapi, but all in vain. Agastya informed Ilaval that Vatapi had been digested. An angry Ilaval rushed at Agastya. But Agastya burned him by producing yogic power with "humm" sound.

The version I read had it that this happened when Agastya was on a tour to bring home wealth so that his newly married bride Lopamudra could live prosperously.

When Agastya informed Ilvala that Vatapi had been digested, he conceded defeat and asked Agastya what he wanted. Agastya told him that he wanted wealth, and Ilvala provided him all the wealth he needed for Lopamudra's satisfaction. Also, if I recall right, 3 rulers had accompanied Agastya on this journey after they were unable to furnish him what he needed, and determined that they too needed wealth, which is why they chose to accompany him. Ilvala satisfied them as well.

It was after this incident, I recall that the incident w/ the Vindya parvat took place, and Agastya permanently moved south.
