Virachoha
Virachoha was Virachona, the Asura king according the Indian Puranas. He was the son of Prahlada, the great devotee, grandson of Asura king Hiranyakasipu, and the father of Vali. After the battle between Indra and Virachona, the latter was defeated and had to go to the Patala or the nether regions. According to Indic Puranic geography the Patalas are nothing but the Americas, the vast landmass which was once not so far before the sea level rose from the Jamvidweepa. Swami Vivekananda corroborated this when he said that the Americans are sons of Virochana (Source: Talks with Vivekananda: Publisher- Advaita Ashram, Mayavati, Himalayas, January 1939). There are many similarities between Indic traditions and the South American tradition esp. that of Peru pointing to a closeness of the two cultures at remote antiquity
