Both the epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata link the river Baitarani(Bethany) with Parsurama, who created this sacred river in Kuru-kshetra region; it seems, this marks the hermitage of this Sage on the bank of this river. Parsuram is considered as the 6th Avatara of the Indian Avatara system of Gods. His age began much before the Ramayanic Age. He disappeared when he saw the appearance of Rama on earth. Rama after his marriage to Sita was returning from Mithila he saw hermitage of the Sage came on his way to Ajodhya.
Name of Persia, certainly, has been derived from the name of this ancient warrior Sage who killed many kings of his time who then belonged to the Kshatriya clan. Karna, king of Ang, and Sage Biswamitra were his disciples. His father was Jamad-Agni, and Renuka was his mother. These are historic names and are well attached with places of pilgrimages which have gone into most of the sacred literature. Name Jamad-Agni identifies him as a native of Jama, or Jerusalem.
Alexander’s campaign against India mention his journey to Pelusium, and it was perhaps, the settlements of the descendants of Parsuram who created a patch of land by requesting the Green Sea to recede back and allow certain space for his followers. The Sea obliged. It was a place in the Palestine region near Gaga, Vergil(Georgica) when sings of the Paestum shore sees its ‘green bank in the parsley’, and says its ‘roses bloom, fade, and bloom again’.
We also learn from his invasion accounts that he led a detachment to Pasargadai, the primitive seat of the Achaimenids with the tomb of the Cyrus.
Ptolemy mentions on Prasiake island, and Prasodes Bay along with Cape Prasum which identifies the hermitage of Sage Parsuram. He shows this place as a part of Indus valley region, and connects this with Rhapta.
