Anarta in the Puranic literature

According to the Puranic acccounts, this region was ruled by the Sharyata dynasty rulers, who claimed their descent from Sharyati, a son of Vaivasvata Manu. The kingdom was named after Anarta, the son of Sharyati. The capital of this kingdom was Kushasthali (the ancient name of Dwaraka). The last ruler of this dyansty was Kakudmi. After him, it was occupied by the Punyajana Rakshasas. [Pargiter, F.E. (1922, reprint 1972). "Ancient Indian Historical Tradition", New Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, p.98] Later, the Yadavas migrated to this region under the leadership of Krishna. [Pargiter, F.E. (1922, reprint 1972). "Ancient Indian Historical Tradition", New Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, p.282]
