I have checked few references of the place SAMBALPURA actually Microsoft

Encarta 97 World Atlas gives *3 places* with that name in India. The suffix

*pura* appears

with many references of villages in India.

The fathers name is Visnu Yasa (Pronounced Joshi just as River Yamuna is

pronounced JAMUNA).

Prabhupada: Kalki is the incarnation. The last incarnation of Krsna is

Kalki. Kalki will come on this planet about 400,000's of years after. But

his name and address is also given. (laughter) That is sastra. Not... It is

no laugh. Don't laugh. That is sastra, that they can speak of future which

will happen hundreds and millions of years after. That is mentioned, "This

Kalki avatara incarnation will come. He will appear in a place whose name is

Sambhalapur." That is still in India. "And his father's name will be

Visnu-joshi." His father's name and his place of birth is mentioned in the

sastra. So Kalki is incarnation of Krsna

visnu--named Visnu; yasasah--surnamed Yasa; namna--in the name of;

TRANSLATION

Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation

will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Visnu

Yasa. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into

plunderers.

PURPORT

Here is another foretelling of the advent of Lord Kalki, the incarnation

of Godhead. He is to appear at the conjunction of the two yugas, namely at

the end of Kali-yuga and the beginning of Satya-yuga. The cycle of the four

yugas, namely Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali, rotates like the calendar

months. The present Kali-yuga lasts 432,000 years, out of which we have

passed only 5,000 years after the Battle of Kuruksetra and the end of the

regime of King Pariksit. So there are 427,000 years balance yet to be

finished. Therefore at the end of this period, the incarnation of Kalki will

take place, as foretold in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. The name of His father,

Visnu Yasa, a learned brahmana, and the village Sambhala are also mentioned.

As above mentioned, all these foretellings will prove to be factual in

chronological order. That is the authority of Srimad-Bhagavatam.

 

Since there are appear to be 3 references of this in India which SAMBALPURA?

no indication is given as per Srimad Bhagavatam.

Hope this meets you well.
