The reason for Dwarkapuri's coming to earth; King Anarta's penance and Lord Krishna's grace on him

Manu had a son, a king named Sharyati, who was a Chakravarti emperor. They ruled this land righteously for ten thousand years. He had three sons, who were the best of all the learned men. Their names were Uttanbarhi, Anarta, and Bhurishena. King Sharyati gave the kingdom of Uttanvarhiko to the east, Bhurishena to the south, and Anarta to the west. Then they said to the sons, 'All the earth is mine.' I have followed it faithfully and have acquired it by force, being strong; so follow it, you. 'Hearing this from the Father, the middle son, the wise Anarta, smiled and spoke this wise word. 4-8 | (Dwarkand Chapter 6 to 10)

Anarta said, "O king! This whole earth is not yours. You have never followed it nor have you earned it by force. The king! The strong one is Lord Krishna, so this earth belongs to Lord Krishna. He followed this and with his brilliance, this whole of Vasundhara has been attained. There is no one as strong as Lord Srihari. It is He who creates, sustains, and destroys this world revealed by Him. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and He is the 'Kaal', the lord of those who worship God. The one who is the refuge of all by entering into the whole of the ghosts is the Universal Enlightenment, the Absolute Supreme Being. The fear of whom the wind blows, the fear of whom the sun warms, the fear of whom the rain-gods make it rain, and whose fear death whirls, O king! Devote your whole heart to the purest God, Shri Krishna, without ego. 9-14 |

Naradji says - Mithileshwar! May the king, having received the knowledge of Sharia, be moved by the words of his son, speaking to his middle son, Anarta, in a fit of rage. 15.

Shariat said, "O foolish child! Get out of the way. How are you preaching like a guru? Do not dwell in the land as long as it is My kingdom. Will the almighty Lord whom you have worshipped also give you a new earth? . 16-17 |

Naradji says - Mithileshwar! When they said this, King Anarta, who respected others, said, 'As long as your kingdom is over the earth, will I not dwell there?' '. 18.

The angels who had been taken away by their father, King Shariat, departed from them and went to the shores of the sea, and after reaching the depths of the sea, they meditated for ten thousand years. Pleased with Anarta's love-lakshana-bhakti, Lord Srihari made her see his form and asked her to ask for a boon. With folded hands, Anarta got up quickly and bowed at the feet of Lord Krishna, full of thrill and love. 19-21 | (Dwarkand Chapter 6 to 10)

Anarta said, "Salutations to you, Vasudeva, who resides in everyone's heart." Salutations to you Sankarsha, the almighty god of attraction. There is also salutation to the Kamavatara Pradyumra and the Brahmavatara Aniruddha. Oh my goodness! You are the protector of saints and seers, I salute you repeatedly. The god My Father has driven me out of the kingdom, so I have come to You in refuge. Give me some other land where I can live. I bow to the Lord (You), the remover of the sufferings of the downtrodden, by whose grace and grace Dhruva also attained the highest rank. 22-24 |

Srinardji says - Rajan! Knowing Ananta and Din, the almighty God, pleased, said in a solemn voice like a cloud to Srimukha. 25.

The Lord said, "O Lord! There is no other earth in this world, so what should I do? Oh no! I am satisfied with your devotion, so I bring you a hundred yojanas of land of Vaikuntha Dham, my divine world, to make my words come true. He is very pure and auspicious. 26-27 |

Shrinaradji says - Vidhehraj! Saying this to Anarta-Naraja, Bhaktavatsala Lord Krishna asked Vaikuntha to uproot the vast land of a hundred yojanas and established the land on it by laying the foundation of Sudarshana Chakra in the sea making terrible sounds. King Anarta reigned there for a hundred thousand years, endowed with sons and grandsons. The kingdom was filled with the splendor of Vaikuntha. When Anarta's father, Shariatin, heard the news, he was greatly astonished. It was from the offerings of Anarta that the country named 'Anarta' appeared. Anarta had a son named Revata. In the past, Parbat had a son named Srisailam. Anarta overthrew him with his own hands and established him in the land of Anarta. The mountain came to be known as' Ravatak 'after Revatke after him. King Revata, after having built Kushasthilpuri and reigned there for a long time, went to Brahmaloka with his daughter Revati, all this has been told by me in the context of the Baldev-Vivah. For this reason, Punyamayi Dwarkapuri is considered by the gods as the 'Gateway to Moksha'. 28-35 |

Thus, the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under Dwarka Khanda in the Srigarghasamhita completed a new chapter titled 'The Reason for Dwarkapuri's Arrival on Earth'. 9.
