पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

Vardhamānadvāra, Vardhamānapuradvāra  : nt.: Name of the gate of Hāstinapura facing the town Vardhamāna.

Epic events:

(1) Kuntī, after the death of Pāṇḍu, came in the company of the ascetics and her sons to Kurujāṅgala and from there she reached the Vardhamānapuradvāra before entering Hāstinapura (sā…saṁprāptā kurujāṅgalam/vardhamānapuradvāraṁ āsasāda yaśasvinī//) 1. 117. 8 (Nī. on Bom. Ed. 3. 1. 10: vardhamānapuraṁ nāma grāmaviśeṣaḥ/tadabhimukhaṁ dvāram; however, on 1. 126. 9 he simply says: vardhamānapuradvāraṁ mukhyadvāram);

(2) The Pāṇḍavas when they left Hāstinapura for their exile, came out of the Vardhamānapura gate and went to the north (niryayur gajasāhvayāt/ vardhamānapuradvāreṇābhiniṣkramya te tadā/udaṅmukhāḥ…prayayuḥ//) 3. 1. 8-9;

(3) When Dhṛtarāṣṭra decided to repair to the forest he left Hāstinapura coming out of the Vardhamānadvāra (sa vardhamānadvāreṇa niryayau gajasāhvayāt) 15. 22. 3; (Vardhamānadvāra, according to S. K. Belvalkar, means ‘an entrance or exit other than the southern’, cf. dakṣiṇādvārahīnaṁ tu vardhamānam udāhṛtam from the Bṛhatsaṁhitā of Varāhamihira 53. 33. 36 cited by him. Dr. Belvalkar further observes: “It is also the name of a specific gate of Hastināpura”, his note on the stanza in the Cr. Ed. Vol. 19, p. 153. The Bṛhatsaṁhitā passage, however, seems to mean that a house which does not have a gate to the south is called Vardhamāna. The editions of the Bṛhatsaṁhitā consulted by me read in 53. 33 as tadvac ca (or tasmiṁś ca) vardhamāne dvāraṁ tu na dakṣiṇaṁ kāryam).
