It means ‘the Country’, ‘the whole Country’. In the present text of the Bhāgavata, however, \[अनुगङ्गाप्रयागं गोप्ता भोक्ष्यन्ति मेदिनीम् ।\] anu-Gaṅgā stands as if qualified by medinî. Probably the intention was to signify that the Guptas who were rulers originally of anu-Gaṅgā Prayāga, enjoyed the whole empire or enjoyed anu-Gaṅgā-Prayāga and the Empire. - [Previous: c16.s2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c16.s2.30) - [Next: c16.s2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c16.s2.32) - [Up: c16.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c16.s2) ## Cites (1) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c16.s2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c16.s2.31) · Pramāṇa
