List of Places in Kuru Kingdom - Vrikasthala

Vrikasthala

This province and town were situated in the southern part of Kuru Kingdom. After setting out from Upaplavya a city in the Matsya Kingdom, Vasudeva Krishna, on his journey to Hastinapura, passed through many villages with many bees, and many cities and minor provinces. He then reached a village called Salibhavana (Salaheri, on the Rajasthan-Hariyana border), which was filled with every kind of crop, a spot that was delicious and sacred. It was the southern-most populated village in the kingdom. It was protected by Bharatas. The citizens of Upaplavya followed Krishna to Salibhavana. Bidding them farewell Krishna reached the town of Vrikasthala (in Gurgaon district of Hariyana) by evening and camped there that night (5,84). Duryodhana erected many pavilions full of precious gems, on the road extending from Vrikasthala to Hasthinapura, to welcome Krishna (5,85). Next day Krishna took leave of the Bharatas and proceeded to Hastinapura. Citizens of Vrikasthala bid farewell to him. (5,89).
