authorities like Jiva Gosvami it is also confirmed that the Ganges and
Yamuna are the same river flowing in different courses. The part of the
Ganges which flows through Hastinapura to the area of Vrndavana is

becomes inundated during the rainy season and reminds everyone of Lord
Balarama’s threatening to cast the city into the Ganges.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Second Volume, Thirteenth
Chapter, of Krsna, “The Marriage of Samba.”
