An excerpt from Hollow Earth in the Puranas-

 

 

There are other prominent Puranic stories which openly make reference

to the hollow portion of the Earth such as the one relating to the

avatar Parasurama, and may be found in the Ninth Canto, Sixteenth

Chapter, Texts 19 - 21, of the Bhagavatam Purana. 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 "face" of

the Earth.

 

Then it is explained that Parasurama distributed the eight points of

the compass to certain rishis. This only makes sense as was 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, the " madhyayatah ", the middle

portion, was then 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

contrast by mentioning 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.
