Why do you keep repeating the term Hindu 'Mythology'? That is a communist evangelist term! Gone are the days when everything uttered by English/communist with ulterior motives will be taken per se. Will greatly appreciate it if you stop using that term - MYTHOLOGY. They are not myths, it is part of our faith. Hope you understand.
MSS Inscription :- Vistnoo appeared partly as a Tortoise and partly as a man to afford his assistance to Davata Katchasasa, when they endeavoured to get Amoothun in the Milk Sea.' Inscribed with titles in Telugu with broken English translations. - '1820'
