v2.c16.259
⁴ It was at the court of the king of Virāṭa that the Pāṇḍava princes and Draupadi passed the thirteenth year of their exile incognito. The Virāṭa princess Uttarā was married to Arjuna's son Abhimanyu who at the age of sixteen only gallantly challenged simultaneously seven most famous generals of the Kaurava army at the battle of Kurukshetra. According to the Mahābhārata king Virāṭa's capital was called Matsya which Cunningham finds in the neighbourhood of Jaypur. Wilson says: "Dinajpoor, Rungpoor, and Cooch Behar." Apparently there was more than one country of this name and one would appear in Northern India. Manu (II. 19) places Matsya in Brahmarshi-deśa.
