- Does anyone know WHICH Veda this is from? Is it Vedic, Vedantic or
- Vedic commentary? Is this hearsay, or can someone back up the claim
- with a reference? This is the first I've ever heard of this, and I've
- studied Sanskrit and Indian literature.

- ps. There are other Vedic astronomical texts that have proven
- extremely accurate, and have recently aided archeologists in
- corrolating site dates. Other geologic information in these same
- texts has been verified by Satelite imagery. If anyone's interested
- I can get these references.
