śٳ󲹱 (कुशस्थ�) refers to śٳ󲹱pura.—Smith and identifies śٳ󲹱pura with the holy city of Dwarka, the capital of Ānartta, i.e. North Gujarat. Monier Williams also indentifies śٳ󲹱 with the town of Dwarka. The suffix sthala or ٳ󲹱ī is significant: it suggests a high-lying country, an eminence, tableland, or dry-land as opposed to a damp low-land. The Ѳٲ, Harivaṃśa, early Jain and Pali literature use the word in this sense. The Ѳٲ mentions both śٳ󲹱 as well as Kuśa-ٳ󲹱ī.The latter is supposed to be another name of Dwarka.
