According to another version, Maya(sura), being a distinguished architect, received from King [[Yudhishthira]] the land on which the city of Meerut now stands and he called this place Maharashtra, a name which in the course of time became shortened to Meerut. Tradition also has it that the city formed a part of the dominions of Mahipala, the king of [[Indraprastha]], and the word Meerut is associated with his name.<ref name="pundir">{{cite book|title=Banking, Bureaucracy, and Social Networks: Scheduled Castes in the Process of Development|author=Jagdish Kumar Pundir|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=svyVzV0n8DQC|publisher=Sarup & Sons|year=1998|isbn=9788176250245|pages=49–50}}</ref>
