Cyavana is always connected with the west of India, the country around the Gulf of Cambay,¹⁰ in or near Śaryāti's territory Ānarta (Gujarat) as shown by the story of his marrying Sukanyā, and by the statement that he performed austerities near the Vaidūrya Mts (the west portion of the Satpura range) and the R. Narmadā.¹ Uśanas-Śukra is connected rather with the central region of N. India, for Yayāti king of Pratiṣṭhāna (Allahabad) met his daughter Devayānī near his own territory and married her;² and Kapālamocana on the Sarasvatī is called his tīrtha.³ Cyavana’s descendants remained connected with west India,⁴ and when the Haihayas dominated that region and the Śaryāta kingdom perished (p. 98), they became associated with the Haihayas. It is they who produced the great Bhārgava family, that has now to be considered. - [Previous: c22.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.54) - [Next: c22.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.56) - [Up: c22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c22.55) · Pramāṇa
