kushasthali

• dvaraka ka prachin nam hai. pauranik kathaoan ke anusar maharaja raivatak ke samudr mean kush bichhakar yajn karane ke karan hi is nagari ka nam kushasthali hua tha. bad mean trivikam bhagavan ne kush namak danav ka vadh bhi yahian kiya tha. trivikram ka mandir dvaraka mean ranachho daji ke mandir ke nikat hai. aisa jan p data hai ki maharaj raivatak (balaram ki patni revati ke pita) ne pratham bar, samudr mean se kuchh bhoomi bahar nikal kar yah nagari basaee hogi.
• harivansh puran ke anusar kushasthali us pradesh ka nam tha jahaan yadavoan ne dvaraka basaee thi.
• vishnu puran ke anusar, arthath anart ke revat namak putr hua jisane kushasthali namak puri mean rah kar anart par rajy kiya. vishnu puran se soochit hota hai ki prachin kushavati ke sthan par hi shrikrishna ne dvaraka basaee thi-'kushasthali ya tav bhoop ramya puri purabhoodamaravativ, sa dvaraka sanprati tatr chaste s keshavaansho baladevanama'.
• kushavati ka any nam kushavart bhi hai. ek prachin kianvadanti mean dvaraka ka sanbandh 'punyajanoan' se bataya gaya hai. ye 'punyajan' vaidik 'panik' ya 'pani' ho sakate haian. anek vidvanoan ka mat hai ki panik ya pani prachin gris ke phinishiyanoan ka hi bharatiy nam tha. ye log apane ko kush ki santan manate the . is prakar kushasthali ya kushavart nam bahut prachin siddh hota hai. puranoan ke vanshavritt mean sharyatoan ke mool purush sharyati ki rajadhani bhi kushasthali bataee gee hai.
• mahabharat, ke anusar kushasthali raivatak parvat se ghiri huee thi-'kushasthali puri ramya raivatenopashobhitamh'. jarasandh ke akraman se bachane ke lie shrikrishna mathura se kushasthali a ge the aur yahian unhoanne nee nagari dvaraka basaee thi. puri ki raksha ke lie unhoanne abhedy durg ki rachana ki thi jahaan rah kar striyaan bhi yuddh kar sakati thian-'tathaiv durgasanskaran devairapi durasadamh, striyoapiyasyaan yudhyeyu: kimu vrishnimaharatha:'.
