Pranam
A V Sugavaneswaran is that retd IAS or some one else I do not know that too
in 2003 blog is said to reveal this as per the current author. No where in
any scriptures including Rig Vedam, Agni Puranam, Skanda Puranam ,
Bharatham and Ramayanam, it is mentioned that Vasishta met Ravanan. A spin
well made of. Ravanan curse of death came from the suicide of Vedavathi ( a
river is also known by that name) who was molested by Ravanan; Abd Sita was
born out of Vedavati curse; and her husband Rama killed Ravana. And it is
in the scriptures that Vasishta' son is sakthi whose son is Parasara and
whose son is Vyasa. KR IRS 15821
