Barana—1. Bulandshahr near Delhi in the Punjab (Growse, JASB, 1883). This town is said to have been founded by Janmejaya, son of Parikshit and great-grandson of Arjuna (Bulandshahr by Growse, in the Calcutta Review, 1883, p 342). At Ahar, 21 miles north-east of Bulandshahr, he performed the snake-sacrifice (JASB, 1883, p 274).
