Husky, Ramana,
Only place I had seen Iran connected with Parasuram was based on philology and geographical speculations, and may very well be just that, a speculation. As far as Mahabharat itself is concerned, it does mention names and geographic descriptions of places, connected with Parashurama (e.g where he performed a great Yagya after vanquishing vile Kshatriyas, where he created 5 lakes to fill the dead bodies, where Karna trained under him, where he met Rama (son of Dasaratha) etc., and places described are actually all over India. These include indeed a place specifically said to be between a sea-shore and a hill, which is where he lived when Karna found him, might very well be Kerala (or Eastern Iran, or so many others). First hand, I have not come across ParasUya or similar name so far explicitly mentioned with Parasurama, but only seen it on some mahabharat-era map someone had prepared based upon scriptural evidences like Mahabharata (and probably Sthala Upapuranas).
Solomon, please do post your findings.
