Vraja is one of the six sons of Havirdhāna and his wife Āgneyī, in the line of Pṛthu. He is not Vraja, the cowherd settlement where Śrī Kṛshṇa grew up.

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Pṛthu’s sons, knowers of dharma, were Antardhi and Pāti. From Antardhāna, Śikhaṇḍinī bore a son, Havirdhāna. From Havirdhāna, Āgneyī bore six sons: Prācīnabarhi, Śukra, Gaya, Kṛshṇa, Vraja and Ajina. The line went on through Prācīnabarhi, the first named, who became a Prajāpati.
