These two records cannot reside in the same zone file: the first will be in the
zone humaaraartha.in, and the second in an in-addr.arpa.  zone, and the names
can be generated with BIND's arpaname(1) utility or with dig(1).

>When I dig the latter @localhost, I'm unable to get humaaraartha.in. 

The syntax for dig is either the fully qualified in-addr.arpa name with type
PTR or using the IP address proper with

	dig -x 182.59.136.243
