गोमान् पर्वत
विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[3] ने लेख किया है ...गोमान् पर्वत (AS, p.303): रैवतक पर्वत का एक नाम जिसके क्रोड में द्वारका बसी हुई थी. मगध राज जरासंध के आक्रमण से बचने के लिए श्री कृष्ण मथुरा से द्वारका चले गए थे. उन्होंने रैवतक पर्वत पर अपनी नई नगरी को बसाया था. (देखें महा.सभा.14). रेवतक का ही एक नाम गोमान् भी था. 'एवं वयं जरासंधाद भितः कृतकिल्बिषाः, सामर्थ्यवन्तः संबन्धाद गोमन्तं समुपाश्रिताः' --महा.सभा. 14,53
