Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The confluence of the Ganges, Sarasvatī, and Yamunā is known as Triveṇī even today. The riverbed of the Yamunā is still found near Kāñcarāpāḍā. Some time ago this river used to flow into the Triveṇī- saṅgama. Reports that the Yamunā riverbed existed near Govaraḍāṅgā are still current.
