Vitala
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Vitala is the nether world which is just below Atala. Śiva lives here along with his wife Bhavāni and bhutas.[1] His name is Hāṭakeśvara. There is a river called Hāṭakī here. Agni drinks it's water. What he spits out, it becomes hāṭaka or gold.
