O son of Bhá¹›gu! Passing through the provinces of Kuru-jÄá¹…gala, PÄṇcÄla, and Śūrasena on the banks of the YamunÄ River, BrahmÄvarta, Kuruká¹£etra, Matsya, SÄrasvata, and the deserts and arid regions, and then SauvÄ«ra and AbhÄ«ra, the Lord arrived at Ä€narta with slightly tired horses.
The places are not listed in proper sequence. Maru is a place without water and dhanva is a place with little water. He arrived at Anarta, the area of Dvaraka with slightly tired horses (manak sranta vahah).
