   So what you're saying is that this Vedic commentator couldn't keep a 
visit to the moon, which is reachable by physical means, from getting 
confused with a trip to a part of his mythology.  Sounds like he needs

   If I translate "Huy Breasal" from Celtic as "South Carolina" does that 
mean you have to ask some Elf before you can post?  No?  Hmmm...
