Dear Mohit:

This article was posted by me sometime (about 3 years) ago. Got in from
the author via private communication. I do not believe it appears in
any book in this particular form, however, the information may be
gathered from Dr. Vartak's various articles.

His books (in Marathi) "Vaastav Ramayan" and "Swayambhu" (on the
Mahabharat) make a very interesting reading.

Sasneha,

Prasad.
