It is located at: > http://skywebsite.com/hollow/Vedic-Hollow-Earth/ With reference to the Shambhala/Madhyatah poll, I would like to place a tidbit of info from my article Hollow Earth in the Puranas, before the readers: " Another Puranic narration which makes a direct comment in relation to the hollow portion of the Earth is one relating to the avatar Parasurama, and may be found in the Ninth Canto, Sixteenth Chapter, Texts 19 - 21, of the Bhagavatam. The 19th text says that He confronted the warrior caste 21 times and rid the face of the Earth of them. The word Prithivim was used to indicate the facce of the Earth. Then it is explained that Parasurama distributed the eight points of the compass to certain rishis. This only makes sense as He seemed to be rather disgusted with the warrior caste. Rishis are different than warriors, of course- they are members of the priestly caste. For example, they are tolerant, intellectual, they practice goodness, etc. After mentioning the eight points of the compass and the rishis whom received lordship over these areas," madhyayatah ", the middle portion, was mentioned; the Bhagavat Purana says that the middle portion was distributed to Kashyapa Rishi. So while adopting a descriptive tone of narration, and after having mentioned the surface or the " face " of the world, the Bhagavata Purana went on to mention the middle portion, practically in the same breath. The wording and story line of this narration about the avatar Parasurama is directly indicative of the Hollow Earth Theory." I am currently working with some new, direct material from the Bhavartha Purana on the story of the sons of Maharaj Sagara along the same lines. Do visit the poll page at the address above!
